Description Nathan Coulson 2022-01-04 07:51:10 UTC

Description of problem:

On Centos 9 Steram, Unable to install nagios due to missing dependency mailx (Looks like Centos 9 Stream switched to s-nail)

Also on AlmaLinux 8, I replaced mailx with s-nail, but due to nagios depending directly on mailx (vs /usr/bin/mail), I was unable to uninstall mailx afterwards even though s-nail provides /usr/bin/mail.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Nagios-4.4.6-6.el9.x86_64 on Centos9 Stream

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install nagios
2.
3.

Actual results:
Error: 
 Problem: package nagios-devel-4.4.6-6.el9.x86_64 requires nagios = 4.4.6-6.el9, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides mailx needed by nagios-4.4.6-6.el9.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

BUILDIT: Non zero exit status - here comes the build.log!


Expected results:
Expected to successfully install
