| Description |
|
The zabbix-{server,proxy}-* fail to install on Red Hat Universal Base Image 8 and 9 systems due to the applications depending on libOpenIPMI.so and libOpenIPMIposix.so libraries, which are not provided by any package in the package manager repositories enabled by default. This has made the packages unusable on systems based on these images. An example excerpt of attempting to install zabbix-{server,proxy}-pgsql 6.4 packages on UBI9: [root@fb72629ed1d6 ~]# dnf install -y zabbix-{server,proxy}-pgsql
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

Error:
Problem 1: cannot install the best candidate for the job
- nothing provides libOpenIPMI.so.0()(64bit) needed by zabbix-server-pgsql-6.4.13-release1.el9.x86_64 from zabbix
- nothing provides libOpenIPMIposix.so.0()(64bit) needed by zabbix-server-pgsql-6.4.13-release1.el9.x86_64 from zabbix
Problem 2: cannot install the best candidate for the job
- nothing provides libOpenIPMI.so.0()(64bit) needed by zabbix-proxy-pgsql-6.4.13-release1.el9.x86_64 from zabbix
- nothing provides libOpenIPMIposix.so.0()(64bit) needed by zabbix-proxy-pgsql-6.4.13-release1.el9.x86_64 from zabbix
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

So, the libraries are provided by the OpenIPMI-libs package, which is not available in the ubi repositories, and is instead provided by the redhat-#-for-[arch]-appstream-rpms repository. Access to this repository is curated via subscriptions, which in the case of ubi containers, get propagated by mounting repository configuration and secrets directories of the RHEL host into the container file-system namespace. This is described more in detail here and a user discussion here. This is also how the RHEL Zabbix container images are bootstrapped, as seen here. I ran into this with containers running on a Fedora 39 host, which obviously does not have subscriptions to these repositories. A thank you goes out to dotneft for pointing this out. As the packages are labeled as intended for RHEL systems (not RHEL compliant environments), I would consider this to be a user error. Should I CLOSE this as WON'T FIX? |

Note - https://developers.redhat.com/articles/ubi-faq #34 - you can request packages to be added. I requested two recently and both where processed within a day. Notably it was added to ubi 9 repo and not 8. |
