Upgrade to current version is failing due to rrdtool issues. Any light that can be shed on this?

Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides python3-rrdtool needed by nagiosxi-deps-el8-2026r1.6.1-1.noarch from @commandline
- nothing provides rrdtool-devel needed by nagiosxi-deps-el8-2026r1.6.1-1.noarch from @commandline
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

pip3 install rrdtool
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: rrdtool in /usr/local/lib64/python3.12/site-packages (0.1.16)

Figure out what packages contain python3-rrdtool and rrdtool-devel and make them available to your software install utility.

Hi @clangbecker,

It sounds maybe the CRB repo is not enabled on your system for some reason. Try running the following command to see if the repo is enabled:
If nothing is returned, the repository is not configured or not available on the system.

Depending on what OS you are running (RHEL, Oracle) you may need to run one of the following commands to enable the repo:

(RHEL 8) (Oracle 8) Then try running the upgrade script again.
