Nagios Support Forum

Having packages errors on the nagios xi installation. It seems there are missing packages but the weird thing is that it seems those packages are already installed. Should I use --skip-broken? Install log attached.

It appears you have newer packages installed from a repo @centos-7-server-os_local than what is availab;e in the current repositories.

Also, it appears you have beta repositories enabled Nagios xi is only support when installed on a clean minimal install.

Please start fresh from a clean minimal install and it should proceed as expected.

Finally, is there a reason you are starting an install with a version that is several years old ? Nagios xi 5.5.4 ?

Thanks for the answer. I am gonna try installing it in a clean environment.

And the reason behind installing an older version is because I was trying to migrate an old instance we had to a new server. I was going to migrate first and then update. Would you recommend doing it the other way around?

Either should work fine, but it is best that you do the backup/restore to the same version like you are doing.
