Hi,

I am trying to upgrade from 2024R1 to the latest version running RHEL 8, and I'm running to this error:

INSTALL: Nagios Mod-Gearman is being installed...

Since gearmand 1.1.19 is installed, why is it looking for 1.0.1? Is there a way to bypass this check?

Hi @chapmm3,

Thanks for your note.

Some questions: what type of install is yours? Source, rpm, or offline?

Did you happen to have gearmand installed already?

What happens if you run ?

We added Nagios Mod-Gearman in 2024R2.1, so in between your previous version and latest. The installation script is looking for the version we supply.

Questions?

Thanks,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

We are installing from RPM and I don't believe Mod-Gearman was previously installed.

I get the same error following dnf clean all. Is there a repository I can get v1.0.1 from?

@chapmm3 -

Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm having the exact same problem. I'm upgrade from source.

nagios-mod-gearman needs to be in one of the repos so it's available to be installed. repos.nagios.com listed above might be the one.
