Topic: ocsinventory-agent failing dependency check on RHEL 6

I have been successfully using OCS and GLPI for the past two years on both RHEL 4 and 5 using the EPEL repository. I am now starting to test it in our environment on RHEL6 clients. I have the RHEL and EPEL repositories but when I attempt to install the ocsinventory-agent using yum I am getting the following errors after the dependency check:

Error: Package: ocsinventory-agent-1.1.2.1-1.el6.noarch (epel)
    Requires: perl(XML::Simple)
Error: Package: ocsinventory-agent-1.1.2.1-1.el6.noarch (epel)
    Requires: perl(Net::IP)

Does anyone know how to get the agent and these dependencies installed successfully on RHEL 6? Thanks!

Re: ocsinventory-agent failing dependency check on RHEL 6

Do you have the "RHEL Server Optionnal" channel enabled ?

This channel provides some required dependencies, it can be enabled from https://rhn.redhat.com

Laptop:  Fedora 38 + rpmfusion + remi (SCL only)
x86_64 builder: Fedora 39 + rpmfusion + remi-test
aarch64 builder: RHEL 9 with EPEL
Hosting Server: CentOS 8 Stream with EPEL, rpmfusion, remi
