Nagios Support Forum

All,

I'm running into an issue trying to make a clean install of xi 5.7.5 on RHEL 7.9 where the installer kills the installation due to unresolved dependencies with net-snmp:

from install.log:
Error: Package: 1:net-snmp-perl-5.7.2-49.el7_9.1.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-optional-rpms)
Requires: net-snmp-libs = 1:5.7.2-49.el7_9.1
Available: 1:net-snmp-libs-5.7.2-18.el7.i686 (rhel-7-server-rpms)
net-snmp-libs = 1:5.7.2-18.el7

Here's what we have installed:
yum list installed | grep net-snmp
net-snmp.x86_64 1:5.7.2-49.el7 @rhel-7-server-rpms
net-snmp-agent-libs.x86_64 1:5.7.2-49.el7 @rhel-7-server-rpms
net-snmp-devel.x86_64 1:5.7.2-49.el7 @rhel-7-server-rpms
net-snmp-libs.x86_64 1:5.7.2-49.el7 @rhel-7-server-rpms

Here's the repos we have:
ls -la /etc/yum.repos.d/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 88 Jan 21 14:09 .
drwxr-xr-x. 93 root root 8192 Jan 21 14:09 ..

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4494 Jan 21 13:45 redhat.repo

Trying to update one of the dependencies shows it's at the latest recognized by RHEL:

I've tried the online and offline packages, and both fail with these dependencies not being met:
Requires: net-snmp = 1:5.7.2-49.el7_9.1
Requires: net-snmp-agent-libs = 1:5.7.2-49.el7_9.1
Requires: net-snmp-devel = 1:5.7.2-49.el7_9.1
Requires: net-snmp-libs = 1:5.7.2-49.el7_9.1

Can you please advise?

Thank you,

What are the outputs from the following commands: There's a similar issue when trying to install on Cent8, maybe you could glean a solution from that post.

There's a similar issue when trying to install on Cent8, maybe you could glean a solution from that post.

I'll check that out.

Thanks,

Hello,

Unfortunately, the solution noted for Centos 8 did not work for us.

Please advise.

Thanks,

-- Mike

Your system apparently has both the x86_64 and the i686 architecture installed for some packages, and it's causing dependency issues to happen. This means at some point the system was explicitly told to install i686 packages.

i686 packages have no place on an x86_64 architecture machine (unless you're doing something with programs compiled for that 32-bit architecture, which Nagios xi does NOT do).

Perhaps an administrator explicitly installed 32-bit libraries?

What's the output for the following commands (as root)?

This is probably your problem. Please inspect the contents of /etc/yum.d and remove any duplicated package repos.
