You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Error: Missing Dependency:

Have you attempted to install the packages that are missing?

[sebastian_anthony]

I'm unable to find the correct packages for missing files. Is there any way to get the list of required packages?

[jolson]

The fullinstall script is supposed to handle package installation for you - which repositories are you subscribed to?

Code: Select all

yum repolist

It's likely that step 0 didn't complete properly because Oracle Linux is not an officially supported Nagios XI distribution. Is it possible that you could use CentOS or RHEL instead? I imagine that you will run into trouble if you continue to use Oracle Linux.

As of the time of writing, Nagios Enterprises is only able to officially provide support for installing Nagios XI on the following Linux
distributions:•
RHEL 5 & 6 32-bit and 64-bit (requires RHN registration)•
CentOS 5 & 6 32-bit and 64-bit

[sebastian_anthony]

Thanks Jolson. I understand that Nagios will not support XI installations on Oracle Linux. But due to some other reasons trying this installation.

Yum repolist
[root@1 nagiosxi]# yum repolist

Strictly speaking we don't support OL today, but *it works*. I helped a customer through the install, here is the excerpt of our interaction that got him going:

Part 1 is easy. Our installer script does a few things that looks specifically for our "supported" platforms and adjusts the scripts accordingly. Some create sed work where we replace CentOS with OracleLinux makes the install go without a hitch. Here is what I sent a gentlman the other day with Scientific Linux to get him going:

Line 15 of init.sh

Code: Select all

xivar distro  "CentOS"

And line 45 of 0-repos

Code: Select all

        if [ "$dist" = el6 ] && ! rpm -q sl-release && ! rhn-channel -l | grep -q rhel-.\*-server-optional-6 ; then

On the 2nd part replace sl-release with whatever the name of the Oracle Linux base repo is. I can setup a lab for you and work it out here if the instructions aren't clear enough.

[sebastian_anthony]

Thanks for your reply.
Since Nagios is not supporting XI installation on Oracle Linux, we decided to go with RHEL.

Sebastian
