Comment 1 Guido Aulisi 2022-04-27 15:55:16 UTC 
libdbi is unmaintained, so nagios-plugins-dbi has been removed from fc36 and epel9.

See bug2039711

Please add --allowerasing to update to fc36
Comment 2 Łukasz Posadowski 2022-04-27 18:45:03 UTC 
Thank You. I have no intention to use nagios-plugins-dbi, it was just in the way. Does RPM have anything to mitigate that and enable smooth transition fo F36? Like dummy package nagios-plugins-abandoned, which could replace all of unmaintained, or just unwanted for any reason, plugins from previous Fedora releases?
Comment 3 Stephen John Smoogen 2022-04-27 19:11:44 UTC 
The nagios-plugins rpm needs to have an `obsoletes: nagios-plugins-dbi` tag which says that package is now obsolete.
