Where did you get this error? It does not even seem to come from DirectAdmin, unless it’s a 3rd party plugin, like CloudLinux Python selector.
Nuh, "dev" packages typically are just headers or (parts of) source and similar. That does not mean that they are for developers only. For you as an end user a package is just a package, no matter whether -dev or not.
But there are some things I don't like in that list of preinstall requirements. At the same time I have to commend the DA people for not simply installing those during their installation process. The way they do it, the user is at least confronted with that list and can think about it.
My personal feeling is that DA requires a damn lot, too much for my taste for basically just a clicky clicky GUI and some gadgets. That said and looking at other panels the DA people obviously at least seriously tried to do it properly.
But that cron message is weird and ugly. That shouldn't happen because the Python -dev package normally is only used during building an app, so once you've installed DA the system shouldn't complain about a missing python -dev package. Could it be that you removed that package once DA was installed? Because if you did and then ran an update DA might want to rebuild parts of itself and would fail due to the missing -dev package.
-devel are for dev purpose not for production
when you make a product, you make rpms etc, which uses the devel package than on the production you do not use devel
just a quick note: i am not against DA
a mature cpanel installs all the required packages, it never asked "me" to install the required packages...
In theory. In real life there are updates which in the given case (Python modules written in C) need to be recompiled because some libraries or even the kernel version may have changed.
To avoid that DA would need to provide binaries of their modules for all supported OS, distros and versions which not only is unreasonable but also is error prone and against the open source mindset.
That said that cron error message still is ugly and weird.
Wow... Very happy with this. This pricing looks good.
Sorry guys, this grumpy old b'stard needs a timeout. Been a bad patch, nothing serious.
I'll investigate where it's coming from.
And when you use a rpm package you have to supply all the packages that were on the maintainers machine. Extra overhead you don't have to supply when you compile the program to fit your machine.
That's not a DA-generated error. DirectAdmin doesn't ever touch python... was this a yum update cron? Would be nice to have more info on what the call was.
At any rate, DA definitely has no requirement for python, so it's most likely something else on the OS..
Regarding pre-install dependencies.. our setup script asks this, as one of the very first (yes/no) questions.. It literally asks if you would like the script to do this for you.
The install script isn't happy when Perl isn't installed though
On my CentOS 7 minimal templates they don't ship with perl (because fuck Perl) so it gets all grumpy.

Ahh.. fair 'nuff. You called me on that one. perl does need to be there.
Well put. And sensible.
Being at that, I recently compiled openlitespeed and they strongly suggest to use perl 5.26 (and not e.g. 5.28) because the build process is flaky with other perl versions. In other words: perl is a joke and a bad one.
Perl has had its day. I was always surprised Nick at cPanel held onto Perl for so long, it must reduced the hiring pool significantly, but I'm more surprised to learn DA is written in Perl or is this just the install script?
almost it is 40$ monthly for DA with Cloud linux each vps / server, it is not costly too ?
For completeness.. (notice poor formatting). At this point I don't wish to comment further.

Not applicable to DA, when it is a purchased package.
Have a nice day,
If your provider is a DA Partner, you can obtain licenses at very affordable rates.
^ SEO is strong with this one
Fuck off with the spam now.
can you gfy with your stupid unrelated postings?
It's not only about the application but also about where it's installed. Sorry for my clumsy wording.
As for the quoted error messages I guess we should wait for (and expect) a statement from @DA_Mark.
nghttp2 has python binding. Last I knew it wasn't completely bound.
Have a nice day,
We think that we are writing about the subject and content. The new license structure yes, but the partners are different and we wanted to provide information on this issue. We wanted to give you the information. We don't have a purpose like spam.
We, like in: We, His Majesty?
And then...
I don't think so.
Not sure why you think it's "had it's day". It's still widely used in sysadmin contexts. For applications, sure, python et al. have taken over, but perl is still quite popular and is even going through a bit of a renaissance with the "modern perl" movement.
@raindog308 First full exposure, hardware, firmware, kernel, scripting, sysadmin and emulation AT&T SVR4.2 on NCR with first iteration of RAID5. One week's training in NCR, Edinburgh office, for starters. A little bit of exposure prior to that but other systems and *nix variants subsequent to it.
What was the pricing before?
Monthly license (now called regular) was $29 (unchanged). Yearly $200 and life-time $299.
have you said on forum you will remain the Owned and yearly?
So, when it says X number of domains, are subdomains counted against this total? In other words, would a server containing example.com and subdomain.example.com count as 1 or 2 of the total number allowed?
I haven't used DirectAdmin in quite some time so, excuse my lack of knowledge on this.
