There are some packages from Red Hat Enterprise Linux that are not part
of the @base group that Satellite will require to be installed on this
system. The installer will try resolve the dependencies automatically.
However, you may want to install these prerequisites manually.
Do you want the installer to resolve dependencies [y/N]?
Very well, the installer will not resolve the dependencies. Please install
perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib
perl-IO-Compress-Base
perl-IO-Compress-Zlib
and rerun the installer. Thank you.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
