RHEL not supported anymore?

[Jens Köhler]

Hey guys,

 

I wanted to add a new RHEL 8 client to my Bareos 23 server, but it seems there are only the EL repos left for Rocky and others.

Did you drop the free repo access for Redhat installations or am I missing something?

I tried the EL8 repo, but it says "nothing provides libjansson.so.4(libjansson.so.4)(64bit) needed by bareos-filedaemon-23.0.1~pre57.8e89bfe0a-40.el8.x86_64" although the package jansson is installed (jansson.x86_64 2.11-3.el8 @rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms).

 

Best regards

Hi Jens,

I have a RedHat 8 server running without any problems.

[root@xxx-serv]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.9 (Ootpa)


[bareos]
name=Backup Archiving Recovery Open Sourced (EL_8)
baseurl=https://download.bareos.org/current/EL_8


[root@xxx-serv lib64]# ls -la libjansson*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 29. Nov 2021 libjansson.so.4 ->
libjansson.so.4.14.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 58896 29. Nov 2021 libjansson.so.4.14.0
[root@xxx-serv lib64]# rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libjansson.so.4
jansson-2.14-1.el8.x86_64

Hi,

you can see I have version 2.14-3, this is the last version you can install.
Jens has also the "old" version you referred to -> possible a problem

The EL repos are for RHEL and all its clones (including CentOS Stream btw.)

That shoudn't happen, as we automatically test each of the packages for
every build before it is published.

I also just tried to install bareos-filedaemon in a fresh RHEL 8
container it installs just fine. The jansson dependency is satisfied
with jansson-2.14-1.el8.x86_64 from rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
Even if I try with a RHEL 8.4 and install jansson 2.11-3.el8 the install
will just upgrade to a recent jansson.

Do you have any "interesting" repo configuration? Is the machine maybe
pinned to some ancient RHEL version before 8.6 (which was released in
May 2022)?

Best Regards,
Andreas
