Problem: unmeet dependencies in RHEL 7.5

[scollazo]

While installing Archivematica 1.7 on a RHEL 7.5 I got this:

---> Package libass.x86_64 0:0.13.4-1.el7 will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: libfribidi.so.0()(64bit) for package: libass-0.13.4-1.el7.x86_64
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: libass-0.13.4-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libfribidi.so.0()(64bit)

I was able to solve it by installing the libfribidi package from https://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/retired/libfribidi-0.19.2-3.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm

We might need that package in the archivematica extras repo, but this problem is not happening with CentOS deployments.

Same problem is described in Redmine#11357

I managed to install AM in a RHEL 7.5 system without that dependency error:

In this system the repository rhel-7-server-eus-optional-rpms is enabled (excerpt from /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo):

openjpeg is also provided by rhel-7-server-optional-rpms repository

I could avoid this issue adding the EPEL and optional-rpms repositories running:

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"

The rhel-*-optional-rpms repo is recommended when installing the EPEL repo (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL):

on RHEL 7 it is recommended to also enable the optional and extras repositories since EPEL packages may depend on packages from these repositories
