Hello,

I am using a Rocky Linux 8 box, with the OpenLogic repo configured to download packages from http://olcentgbl.trafficmanager.net/openlogic/8/openlogic/x86_64/RPMS/

Doing an "yum update WALinuxAgent", I get the following error:

Error:
Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package WALinuxAgent-2.5.0.2-1_ol001.el8.noarch

  • nothing provides WALinuxAgent-udev = 2.7.3.0-1_ol001.el8 needed by WALinuxAgent-2.7.3.0-1_ol001.el8.noarch
    (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

So it looks that there is no WALinuxAgent-udev version 2.7.3.0-1_ol001.el8 available at http://olcentgbl.trafficmanager.net/openlogic/8/openlogic/x86_64/RPMS/, and this leads to the WALinuxAgent package not being updated to the latest version....

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you,

Hello,
as I was trying to solve an issue with intense logging by waagent to /var/lib/waagent/events/ on one of our CentOS VMs (CentOS Stream release 8). Because of that I tried to update the WALinuxAgent to the latest version and got the same error:

Hello ,
I was trying to update Waagent to higher version in CentOS 8 or AlmaLinux 8 machine , I am facing below dependency error , Is this package available in Openlogic repository (WALinuxAgent-udev )

So it seems the dependency is broken for WALinuxAgent version 2.7.3.0-1_ol001.el8 in the OpenLogic repository, since the corrsponding WALinuxAgent-udev package is missing.

So as a temporary workaround, I have disabled the OpenLogic repo as below:

sudo dnf config-manager --set-disable openlogic

You can find out the openlogic repo name in your box by running sudo dnf repolist

In my case, the output looks like below:

[root@test-box ~]# dnf repolist
repo id repo name
openlogic OpenLogic packages for x86_64

The OpenLogic repository is used strictly for the distribution of the WALinuxAgent software... So I believed it was a good idea to use it in order to get the latest version of the WALinuxAgent, without waiting for the operating system to provide an updated package... But as of today, is not that good idea anymore...

Therefore it is better to rely completely on the operating system version of the WALinuxAgent, which seems are better tested....

The WALinuxAgent-udev package version 2.7.3.0-1_ol001.el8 is now available in the repo, and I was able to update the WALinuxAgent package to latest version.
