Icinga RHEL 7.7 Install

Icinga 2

Dear Team,

I have installed and configured icinga2 on CentOS as a testing system. Although, when I install a production system I am facing dependency errors.

optional rpms for rhel7 have been enabled. Below is the error faced.

Error: Package: icinga2-bin-2.11.0-1.el7.icinga.x86_64 (icinga-stable-release)

Could someone let me know what needs to be done with respect to RHEL 7 install?

Hi Micheal,

Thank you for the reply. I have tried these already but still the same.

yum list | grep epel
epel-release.noarch 7-11 installed

subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
Repository ‘rhel-7-server-optional-rpms’ is enabled for this system.

Hi,

I guess, you did a yum makecache to refresh the repository metadata cache already?

Cheers,
Michael

Yes Michael. That is right. Still couldn’t get the libraries to install though.

Are you sure you are not mixing RHEL and CentOS packs, they are compatible like 99% of the time but that 1% can hurt you a lot.

When I try to upgrade it shows for my Centos:

so you need to clean up you repos and cache and give it another try.

Hello George,

The CentOS is a test system which is fully functional as of now. This system that I am configuring now is a production system based on RHEL. So yes I am not mixing any packages. To be sure I ran the following commands again

yum update -y
yum clean packages
yum clean metadata
yum clean headers
yum clean all
yum autoremove

and renabled the repos for extra and optional rpms. Although the error still remains the same. Cannot install dependencies.

Regards,
Sanjeeth

Can you provide the result of yum repolist and yum search boost169 ?
Thanks

Sure. There you go.

Seems that EPEL repo is disabled, so try to enable it with subscription manager or manually and see how it goes.

Thank you George! I managed to install the dependencies after enabling the epel repo.
