Hi John,
Between 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 we've added the Date::Format module (which is
a required module for OTRS) as a dependency to the OTRS RPM for
Fedora, CentOS, and RedHat. This in order to make it easier for
sysadmins to install OTRS.
On your system RPM only complains about the fact that the dependency
to Date::Format is not met, this can happen for instance when you've
installed Date::Format outside of the package manager, for instance
with the CPAN client.
The CheckModules script does not look into which packages are
installed via YUM and which are installed manually, it just reports
the Perl modules available for OTRS.
If you want to know wether or not the Date::Format package is
installed via the package manager on your system you can do:
(below on my Fedora 14 laptop, it's similar on CentOS and RedHat)
[root@rainbows ~]# yum whatprovides "perl(Date::Format)"
1:perl-TimeDate-1.20-2.fc14.noarch : A Perl module for time and date
: manipulation
Repo : fedora
Matched from:
Other : perl(Date::Format)
1:perl-TimeDate-1.20-2.fc14.noarch : A Perl module for time and date
: manipulation
Repo : installed
Matched from:
Other : Provides-match: perl(Date::Format)
In your case it's not installed. So you can either use something like
yum to upgrade OTRS, which will follow the dependencies for you
automatically, or manually install the required package, or use
--nodeps, as stated. Of course it's the nicest if you install modules
using your systems package management, because you'll automatically
get security patches and bug fixes if applicable, and it's cleaner,
too: there's no 'uninstall' option for the cpan client.
HTH,
Mike

On my CentOS 5 server I just tried to upgrade from OTRS 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 but this failed:
[root@otrs ~]# rpm -Uvh otrs-3.0.4-01.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: perl(Date::Format) is needed by otrs-3.0.4-01.noarch [root@otrs ~]#
Yet otrs.CheckModules.pl on my current installation says Date::Format is there:

Any ideas why, and what to do?
