Upgrade from 5.4.13 to 5.6.12 unsuccessful

[Dave Ryan]

Hi, I've enabled the optional channel however I'm still having an issue performing the upgrade. Please see log attached.

Thanks,
Dave.

This looks like you are getting an error from the rpmforge repo, I would suggest you disable this repository

[Dave Ryan]

Thanks for the recommendation. Disabling the repo certainly got the upgrade to go a lot further. However, I still see the below at the end of the upgrade process. I've attached as much of the session that was captured from my SSH session. I've confirmed from the Nagios XI Admin page that I'm still running on version 5.4.13.

Setting up Install Process
No package shellinabox available.
Error: Nothing to do

Any ideas on what went wrong?

Thanks,
Dave.

This looks better, but now you are missing a different repo which is required for shellinabox, the epel repo

If you do not have it installed any longer and cannot enable it, you yshould be able to do the following

Code: Select all

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm

[Dave Ryan]

I've executed the yum install command for epel but I'm not sure it worked. I'm seeing Error: Nothing to do, log attached.

Thanks,
Dave.

Hmm, I see this

Code: Select all

Cannot open: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm. Skipping.

does this machine have access to the Internet?

[scottwilkerson]

Can you show the output of the following

Code: Select all

ll /etc/yum.repos.d/

[Dave Ryan]
