snmptt conflict upgrading with offline tarball

[dave_lux]

Under Centos 7.5.1804 x86_64, when I try

to upgrade from version 5.4.13  5.5.6 on Centos 7 using the offline tarball.

I get the message Error:

nagiosxi-nxti conflicts with snmptt-1.4-0.9.beta2.el7.noarch
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I can circumvent the problem by uninstalling snmptt before running upgrade, but I assume, then, that I won’t have a Trap Translator?

What's the best way to handle this?

The nagios-nxti package will install SNMPTT, you should be safe removing snmptt first, just make sure to take a backup copy of /etc/snmp directory so you don't lose your configuration.

Did you originally install via the offline tarball? Just making sure you're not trying to go from a source install to an RPM based install.

Thank you for getting back to me - yes - I did install with the offline-tarball. I'll carry on with the install then.

(Sorry for the delay - I didn't seem to get an email notification, so I've probably got to adjust my settings)

Sounds good, let us know the results.
