SOLVED EA4 Update error with libssh2-devel

[ramorse]

When I try to run EA4 I get an error:

Update Error:

Error: Package: ea-libcurl-7.63.0-1.1.1.cpanel.x86_64 (EA4)
Requires: libssh2-devel

So I try to install it:

yum install libssh2-devel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, universal-hooks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* EA4: 104.219.172.10
* cpanel-addons-production-feed: 104.219.172.10
No package libssh2-devel available.
Error: Nothing to do
===

What to do now?

Hi @ramorse

Are you currently running cPanel w/ CentOS or CloudLinux?

 

[ramorse]

Since I posted this, I realized I have an inactive license of CloudLinux running on this server. That's not good, and is probably what is preventing my updates. I either need to remove that or pay for the license.

Hi @ramorse

You're right, but what's most important, are you using the cPanel Repo or is the CL one still present? You can view your enabled repos by running

yum repolist

Can you interpret this? Any recommendations?

Hi @ramorse

1. this shows you using both CloudLinux and EA4 repos.
2. From Why there are Exclamation mark ( ! ) in front of repository id's when running yum on clients registered with Red Hat Satellite 6? - Red Hat Customer Portal

• As per yum Man page yum repolist output's first column will start with a '!' if the repo. has metadata that is expired.
• This has been purposefully set to be expired, so it re-downloads the repomd.xml file (which is very small) so that the repo is always be up to date.

 

[ramorse]

Thanks. So, what do you recommend to clean this up?

Hi @ramorse

To resolve the issue with the repolist I'd suggest following the instructions in the link I provided. I'd then uninstall CL if you're no longer using it Uninstalling CloudLinux

Once that's complete let us know if you're still having an issue.

 

[ramorse]

Sorry. Reading that article in the link you provided, it's unclear what, exactly to delete. I am in
/var/cache/yum/x86_64/7

And I see all these subdirectories and files in the screenshot. Do I remove all that?

 

[ramorse]

Or, in /var/cache/yum type rm -Rf x86_64 which would delete the x86_64 directory and everything in it?

 

[cPanelLauren]

Hi @ramorse

You'd just remove /var/cache/yum or mv it. It's just a cache dir and will be recreated next time yum is run.

 

[ramorse]

Thanks. This is resolved now.
