SOLVED /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rpmup fails during upcp

[Glendon Turner]

I recently (last few weeks) have been receiving a email as follows about litespeed licence. This somehow has started automatically and I never requested litespeed and don't know what to do about fixing whatever is wrong.
Can someone help, I have been searching here and on google without success so far.

I have the update_log.txt file is needed.

The cPanel & WHM update process failed for the following reason:

Hello @Glendon Turner,

The error message quoted above is what's preventing the cPanel update from succeeding. Can you execute this command manually to verify if there are any issues with the RPM update process on your system?

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rpmup

Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I ran the command and have pasted the section where it fails below. I have tried running it with the '--skip-broken' option and it still fails at the same place.
It seems that mosquitto is the culprit, it there a way to prevent it from trying to update this item?

I have added mosquitto* to the exclude line in /etc/yum.conf and ran it again. It has now passed where the error occurred and is downloading updates. I will post what outcome I get when it finishes.

Hello @Glendon Turner,

I'm glad to see you were able to find the culprit.

If you'd like to resume YUM updates for the mosquitto RPM in the future, it looks you'll need to install the libwebsockets package dependency from the CentOS EPEL repo (e.g. yum install libwebsockets). Keep in mind assistance with this third-party package or the YUM repo it comes from falls outside our scope of support.

Thank you.

 

[Glendon Turner]

Thank you for your helpful advice.
Today I have not received any error messages and we don't use libwebsockets for mqtt.

I appreciate and understand that this falls outside your support scope but your advice helped me to locate where the problem was and it seems to be working now.
Thank you

Any help or tip will be really appreciated. I have this issue in several cpanel installations.
Thanks
