Hello,

NRPE Agent fails to install on RHEL / CentOS 8.3, as it requires the rpm package centos-release in get-os-info which is called by fullinstall.

centos-release no longer exists in 8.3 and is replaced by centos-linux-release

So as a temporary workaround we replaced:

Code: Select all

    if rpm -q centos-release; then

By

Code: Select all

    if rpm -q centos-linux-release; then

But it would be nice if this was added by nagios, so this happens out of the box.

Grtz

Willem
