[SOLVED] Can't get kernel-doc installed
by Felthorn3 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JA69)
I'm using Fedora 34 and I want to install kernel-doc. When I tried the following I'm told it was unable to find a match for kernel-doc:
sudo yum install kernel-doc
I assumed this was because it's not located in a repository that I have setup. At this point I get lost trying to figure out what repository has it, so I locate the .rpm via rpmfind.net. After downloading the .rpm and when I attempt "rpm -i kernel-doc-5.12.6-2.mga9.noarch.rpm" I'm greeted with a message saying "perl-base >= 2:5.34.0 is needed".
I then do "sudo yum install perl" thinking maybe this will solve that issue, but no, it doesn't. I then find the .rpm for perl-base, run the rpm command to install it and I'm told I need like five other dependencies rectified.
There has got to be an easier way to make this happen, I'm sorry, but installing software shouldn't be this difficult. Is there a way to find which repo kernel-doc is in and if I add that repo will it auto-fulfill any dependencies needed during install? If not, what's my best course of action here?
