Nagios 5.2 upgrade - Perl issue

[rawwrr]

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade Nagios from 2014R2.7 to 5.2 and I'm getting the following errors;


Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/man/man3/Test::Builder.3pm.gz from install of perl-Test-Simple-0.98-1.el5.rf.noarch conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.8-43.el5_11.x86_64

I tried removing the Perl 5.8.8 package before the upgrade but it "Fubared" my install so I had to rollback to my checkpoint.

Could someone please advise if removing the perl package is the correct solution?


Thanks!

Try uninstalling perl-Test-Simple:

Code: Select all

yum remove perl-Test-Simple

Then try the upgrade again.

Thank you

Or you can perform the following

Code: Select all

yum install --disablerepo=rpmforge -y 'perl(Test::Simple)' 'perl(Class::Accessor)' perl-Params-Validate perl-Config-Tiny perl-Math-Calc-Units

then proceed with the upgrade

Hi,

So I ran both command;

yum remove perl-Test-Simple --> Package(s) perl-Test-Simple available, but not installed.

yum install --disablerepo=rpmforge -y 'perl(Test::Simple)' 'perl(Class::Accessor)' perl-Params-Validate perl-Config-Tiny perl-Math-Calc-Units

I'm having some trouble finding what the -y switches does but my guess is it only exclude some packages from the repo?

Anyway, after both commands ran, I still have the exact same output.

Here's a bit more of the log;

Apparently the rpmforge version of perl-Test-Simple has conflicts with the perl man files you have.

Here is a work around
edit the Nagios XI upgrade script

/tmp/nagiosxi/upgrade

On line 716 change the yum install to start with

Code: Select all

yum install --disablerepo=rpmforge -y 

this should resolve the upgrade issue

[rawwrr]

Out of curiosity, that is from downloading the latest upgrade manually ?

If I go that route, the 716th line is "cd ./subcomponents/webinject"

Code: Select all

    # reinstall webinject to make sure we have proper permissions
    (
        cd ./subcomponents/webinject
        ./install
    )

Thanks for you help !

Did this solve your upgrade issue with the line yum install --disablerepo=rpmforge -y that @scottwilkerson posted?

For reference, the -y will eliminate any prompts that ask you yes/no.

Thanks for the information regarding the -y

It did not solve the issue when I did run the disablerepo=rpmforce command and then ran the nagios upgrade again.

I'm still looking where to put the line in the upgrade file since the 716th line doesn't appears to be where it should go in my upgrage file

thanks!

In previous versions it was 716, I believe the line that needs to be changed is 705 in 5.2.1 -

Code: Select all

		yum install -y 'perl(Test::Simple)' 'perl(Class::Accessor)' perl-Params-Validate perl-Config-Tiny perl-Math-Calc-Units

Change it to -

Code: Select all

		yum install --disablerepo=rpmforge -y 'perl(Test::Simple)' 'perl(Class::Accessor)' perl-Params-Validate perl-Config-Tiny perl-Math-Calc-Units
