Hello...So I'm trying to install the NagiosXI Ubuntu agent using the instructions from here:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... _Agent.pdf

When I get to the step to # apt-get install nagios-agent below is the error I get. Please help!

root@dblog01:~# apt-get install nagios-agent

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nagios-agent: Depends: nagios-plugins but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Hate to keep doing this, not sure why it isn't resolving dependencies...

Try

Code: Select all

apt-get install nagios-plugins nagios-agent nagios-plugins-basic nagios-plugins-standard

We’re going to close this one because I’m being told the system is hanging on dependencies that can’t be upgraded. This machine will be going offline soon anyways….so thanks for your help on this one.
