Migration from RHEL7 to RHEL9 - DNF no longer finds nagiosxi

[Basher]

Built a new server running RHEL 9 and installed nagiosxi-2024R1.1.5 using the Nagios repos to match the original system. Backed up original system (installed from source), restored to new without any issue. Ran "restore_repair.sh" (probably a bad move).

Everything works fine, except I can no longer update Nagios XI. I have a feeling the restore_repair borked this.

No matches found.

I removed and installed the repo from here, but no dice:

https://repo.nagios.com/nagios/9/nagios ... noarch.rpm

I also tried the RPM offline installer and it cannot find the RPM packages, even if I point directly at them. The source code installer says it's an RPM install and bails.

Why is it that you find the solution as soon as you pose the question?

Anyway, I found I had excluded the nagiosxi packages in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf after I had prepped it so our automation system wouldn't update the package on me.

In /etc/dnf/dnf.conf:

Code: Select all

exclude = nagiosxi*

I found it by looking at dnf's config with:

Code: Select all

dnf config-manager --dump
