Php dependency error RHEL 7

mjrlx86 · March 12, 2021, 12:34pm

Hello,
We are thinking about migrating to checkmk v2, but first I wanted to do a POC test and at the very start I encountered dependency issue for php. Once I run to install check-mk-raw-2.0.0-el7-38.x86_64.rpm , i get php mb-string dependency issue like this:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Now I am wondering why would that be an issue? Is that a common or trivial fix for that?
I have repos enabled:
rhel-x86_64-server-7
rhel-x86_64-server-extras-7
rhel-x86_64-server-optional-7

I can also install yum install php-mbstring-5.4.16-46.el7 php-common-5.4.16-46.el7 without issues.

Then I run again yum install check-mk-raw-2.0.0-el7-38.x86_64.rpm and in the end it tries to remove and reinstall and still fails like that:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Now why would that be removing php-common?
How can I solve this and just do some POC environment?

Also a side question: Why would a vendor package both architectures in one rpm package?

Thanks for any help.

Have you followed the installation instructions for RHEL / CentOS?

mjrlx86 · March 12, 2021, 1:27pm

Yes, to the step.
As I have said above: fails at step 4: yum install check-mk-raw-2.0.0-el7-38.x86_64.rpm

Thank You, r. sander, this confirms to me, that issues might be related to my repositories, as we are using satellite, there might be something I am not seeing yet. I will investigate further and will get back to this thread if I have a solution.

By the way: I had same php-mbstring dependency issue when trying to install v1.6 also. Couldn’t do it either. That also confirms that issues are probably on my Satellite + RHEL 7 setup.

It does indeed work with CentOS 7.9, but it does not with RHEL 7.9. It has dependency issues, i am wondering if anyone could confirm that this indeed works for RHEL 7.9. php-mbstring is the package that is providing issues and errors out.

Can you have a look at this post.

It is Oracle Linux but i think it is the same problem with the PHP packages and also version confusion.
Today i don’t want to install a PHP 5.4
