Fatal error when trying to restart services: multiple versions of nscd installed

veronicabend · May 26, 2016

Today when I go to WHM >> Restart Services no matter which service it is, I get a red sign saying

"A fatal error occured while processing this directive"

When I click show it shows:

Multiple versions of the nscd are installed: 2.12-1.166.el6_7.7
2.12-1.192.el6 at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/SysPkgs/YUM.pm line 422.

Please tell me how I can resolve this.

WHM version is 56.0 (build 21).

Thanks.

Edit:
- I used this ok on tuesday so I'm thinking cpanel must have updated since then
- I noticed the same issue on two different servers so far.
- I also get the same red sign and error if I go to Service Configuration >> Service Manager

The hosting company has fixed this by reinstalling nscd.

cPanelMichael · Jun 1, 2016

Hello,

I'm happy to see the issue was resolved after removing the duplicate nscd RPM. I suggest running "yum update" on your system to verify the duplicate RPM is not coming from a custom YUM repo. You can use this command after running "yum update" to verify only one nscd RPM is installed:

Code:

rpm -qa|grep nscd

Thank you.

Abhijit Banik · Jun 25, 2016

Same error I found and

After running the given code

rpm -qa|grep nscd

I found below result.

nscd-2.12-1.192.el6.x86_64
nscd-2.12-1.166.el6_7.7.x86_64

Then Next what have to do?

cPanelMichael · Jul 4, 2016

Hello,

Verify your operating system and architecture with the following commands:

Code:

cat /etc/redhat-release
arch

Also, use the "yum info" command on each package to see additional information. EX:

Code:

yum info  nscd-2.12-1.192.el6.x86_64

Then, delete the duplicate RPM that doesn't match your OS version, YUM repo, or architecture with a command such as:

Code:

rpm -e --nodeps nscd-2.12-1.192.el6.x86_64

Thank you.

Still a couple of files...

cPanelMichael · Nov 1, 2016

You can use the "yum info" command to see which YUM Repo the package is coming from so you can then exclude it from that Repo. EX:

Code:

yum info nscd-2.12-1.166.el6_7.7.x86_64
yum info nscd-2.12-1.192.el6.x86_64

Let us know the output.

Thanks!

This often happens when a YUM transaction fails to complete. Try running the following command to see if it allows YUM to finish the transaction, and erase the older RPM:

Code:
