Getting dependency failed while installing proftpd-mysql-1.3.6e-2.el7.x86_64

If you're encountering a "dependency failed" error while trying to install `proftpd-mysql` on CentOS 7, and you're certain that the required libraries are installed, there might be a few things you can do to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:


1. **Check Library Versions**: Ensure that the library versions installed on your system match the requirements of `proftpd-mysql`. Sometimes, the package may have specific version dependencies. You can use the following command to check the version of a library:


   ```bash

   rpm -q library-name

   ```


   Replace `library-name` with the actual library name, e.g., `mariadb-libs` or `mysql-libs`.


2. **Update the System**: Make sure your system is up to date by running:


   ```bash

   sudo yum update

   ```


   This will ensure that all installed packages, including libraries, are updated to their latest versions.


3. **Check for Conflicts**: It's possible that there may be conflicting packages or repositories that are causing the dependency issue. Ensure that you don't have multiple repositories enabled that provide different versions of the same package.


4. **Clean Yum Cache**: Sometimes, the Yum cache can become outdated. Clean the Yum cache and then try to install the package again:


   ```bash

   sudo yum clean all

   ```


5. **Check Repository Configuration**: Verify that the repository from which you're trying to install `proftpd-mysql` is correctly configured in your `/etc/yum.repos.d/` directory. Ensure that the repository is enabled and has the necessary GPG keys.


6. **Manually Resolve Dependencies**: If the automatic package manager (Yum) is unable to resolve dependencies, you might need to manually install the required libraries first. Check the `proftpd-mysql` documentation or the package's website to identify the specific libraries it depends on.


   Install required libraries manually using `yum install library-name`.


7. **Contact Package Maintainers**: If none of the above solutions work, it's possible that there's an issue with the package itself. You can try contacting the maintainers of `proftpd-mysql` or look for user forums or mailing lists related to the package for support.


8. **Check for Filesystem Issues**: In rare cases, filesystem corruption can cause dependency issues. You can run filesystem checks using `fsck` on your system to ensure there are no filesystem problems.


Please ensure you perform these steps carefully and make sure you have backups before making major changes to your system. If you continue to encounter issues, providing the specific error message you're receiving may help with further troubleshooting.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
