Perhaps if you explained the details of what you have to do to get

do it for you.

I've only done it on CentOS where yum is the native update tool and is
configured to resolve/install dependencies automatically, so it 'just

install' each of those required packages (enclose the names in single
quotes, or change the style to look like perl-File-RsyncP)?
