you did not add the official icinga repo. 2.11 is the version in the ubuntu repo not the one from packages.icinga.com

https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-2/latest/doc/02-installation/02-Ubuntu/#ubuntu-repository

That was the very documentation I followed.
However this time, I did not run the commands using “SUDO”

and instead I logged in as root and ran the very same commands. I don’t know what I did wrong running as SUDO.

This time I successfully installed the DB Redis Package.
Thank You
