You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/docs/XI_Manual_Installation_Instructions.pdf wrote:As of the time of writing, Nagios Enterprises is only able to officially provide support for installing Nagios XI on the following Linux
distributions:•
RHEL 5 & 6 32-bit and 64-bit (requires RHN registration)•
CentOS 5 & 6 32-bit and 64-bit

Part 1 is easy. Our installer script does a few things that looks specifically for our "supported" platforms and adjusts the scripts accordingly. Some create sed work where we replace CentOS with OracleLinux makes the install go without a hitch. Here is what I sent a gentlman the other day with Scientific Linux to get him going:

Line 15 of init.sh

Code: Select all

xivar distro  "CentOS"

And line 45 of 0-repos

Code: Select all

        if [ "$dist" = el6 ] && ! rpm -q sl-release && ! rhn-channel -l | grep -q rhel-.\*-server-optional-6 ; then

On the 2nd part replace sl-release with whatever the name of the Oracle Linux base repo is. I can setup a lab for you and work it out here if the instructions aren't clear enough.
