Unable to update yum package initscripts.x86_64 0:9.03.31-2.

[WillemDH]

Hello,

I'm unable to update yum package initscripts.x86_64 0:9.03.31-2 on my Nagios XI production server, which is on a the Nagios 'default' XI 64bit image. Put this same question on CentOS support forum, but I was wondering if this was a known issue?

Is there an available "updated" package? What is the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

yum check-update | grep initscripts

Can you show us the errors that you got while trying to update the package?

Is the ifup-post's immutable bit set? Can you show us the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

lsattr /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post

[WillemDH]

Code: Select all

lsattr /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post
----i--------e- /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post

[tgriep]

Remove the immutable bit from that file and try to update again. Run this to clear the bit.

Code: Select all

chattr -i /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post

Hey Tom,

I'll do this beginning next week. Just noticed there is a yum update of postgresql. Is it safe to update on XI?

I updated postgres on one of my test boxes and I haven't seen any issues so far. Having said that, I cannot guarantee that you wouldn't have any issues in your environment. I would recommend trying the update on your test server. There is a reason why with each XI license we offer three installations - one primary monitoring/production, one backup/failover, and one test environment.

Ok, thanks Ludmill. I will update Postgresql on my qa server next week. It would be nice though if we could get a 'go' from Nagios support for certain updates like postgresql / mysql /gearman.

[cmerchant]

Willem, let us know when you have a chance next week to test your postgres upgrade. I will keep this thread open. Keep us updated.
