[jmjchung]

I am trying to install holland-common and I am continue to getting

       Error: Package: holland-common-1.1.21-1.el7.noarch (epel)
       Requires: python2-subprocess32

Following describes what's installed in my system:

What am I missing?

The amazon repos are missing the package. They are included in the base repo for CentOS 7, but not Amazon Linux.

See #303

[jmjchung]

Thank you for getting back to me. Are they going to included or in it better off that I install the latest package (version 1.2.x) instead of version 1.1.21? As you see I installed subprocess32 for python, but it still complains that I am missing the package.

[soulen3]

I don't know who maintains the repo for Amazon Linux. To get the yum install working, you would need to request python2-subprocess32 be added to one of their repos.

There's no python2 version for 1.2. But there's nothing preventing the EL8 version from working on Amazon Linux as long as you have the correct python3 packages installed. I would recommend using that package.
