Sudo dnf install cpanm fails

Hello everyone,

I can’t install cpanm. It tells me that a specific rpm can’t be downloaded.

I also tried to download & install the latest rpm of the missing rpm (because Fedora tries to download an outdated version) with rpm -i but rpm -i also tells me that I need other rpm-packages for the latest rpm…and that let me guess that I’d have to download literally everything / a lot packages manually…so I thought "let’s try Ask Fedora so that ".

My error message (scroll down to the end, I posted the complete log so that it’s complete):

It appears your dnf metadata is out of date. Here, dnf is trying to download systemtap-sdt-devel-5.1~pre17062192g5fd8daba-1.fc39 but this was replaced by systemtap-sdt-devel-5.1-1.fc39 three weeks ago.

Perhaps a dnf clean all will fix things.

I would guess that it was PackageKit which was trying to install the package. You could try with sudo dnf install perl-App-cpanminus.

Hello, thanks for your reply. I already tried dnf clean all & I hoped it’d have worked but it didn’t work unfortunately.

Hello, thanks for your reply. That worked! Thanks!

Probably the PackageKit cached data needs to be refreshed. I don’t have PackageKit installed so I can’t say how to do that.

I’m also unsure what it is. Maybe it’ll solve by time…somehow Xd.
