I miss copied the title, damnit. The title should have been:

Hi starko

 

Is Zabbix installed from Zabbix repo or Debian repo?

Can you please list the repositories you have and where is Zabbix installed from?

egrep -v '^#|^ *$' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

 

Thanks,
Kristiāns
