Nagios Support Forum

Hello,
I am receiving errors when trying to update my Nagios server OS.. Thsi is happening only with this server therefore I assume it's related. Please advise.

Error: Package: libjq1-1.5-1.0.1.el7.x86_64 (@ol7_addons)
Requires: libonig.so.2()(64bit)
Removing: oniguruma-5.9.5-3.el7.x86_64 (@ol7_addons)
libonig.so.2()(64bit)
Updated By: oniguruma-6.8.2-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
~libonig.so.5()(64bit)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Looks like this is caused by libjq1 in an Oracle Linux repo (ol7_addons).

If we exclude that package, we can move forward. If you add the following line to the file in /etc/yum.repos.d where ol7_addons is defined, under the header [ol7_addons]
jq is actually available in the CentOS repos, you can safely replace jq from the Oracle repos with that package.

I added the line as requested and it is still not working. The file was in:
/etc/yum.repos.d/oracle-linux-ol7.repo
I did run "yum clean all" as well when it first failed..


Added line as follows:

[ol7_addons]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Add ons ($basearch)
baseurl=http://yum$ociregion.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/addons/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/-------------
exclude=libjq1
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

What happens now if you run the following commands:

The update ran successfully after removing the package as advised. I assume this is no longer required by Nagios? (or do I need to reinstall it after updating the remaining items)

Glad to hear that fixed it.

I have no idea how it was put into a broken state, but I think jq is or was installed from the Oracle repo, which was split into two packages, jq and libjq1, so Yum installed both, and the dep for libjq1, libonig.

Fast-forward a little and jq and libjq1 are now merged into the same package, jq.libjq1 is installed on your system, and still depends on libonig.

Fast-forward a little more and libonig changes its name to onigurama. At this point, Yum has been trying to update libjq1, but not finding anything in the repos, and it breaks because libonig is no longer a thing anywhere.

Nagios doesn't depend on jq directly, but maybe a check wizard does; wizards have a tendency to install things they need if/when you run them.
