Expected results: All collectd-* packages should be updated.
Second problem is that the configuration of 5.8 demands plugin nut per entry in /etc/collectd.d/nut.conf So is does not only break upgrading but also a fresh install of collectd. ......... I installed collectd for the first time and got the following error when starting the service: Jan 07 12:53:20 niva collectd[4659]: plugin_load: Could not find plugin "nut" in /usr/lib64/collectd Jan 07 12:53:20 niva systemd[1]: collectd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Jan 07 12:53:20 niva systemd[1]: Failed to start Collectd statistics daemon. Investigating the error I found that collectd package delivered file /etc/collectd.d/nut.conf with directive to load the nut plugin -> LoadPlugin nut # rpm -qf collectd.d/nut.conf collectd-5.8.0-2.fc26.x86_64 My try to fix the problem by installing the nut plugin resulted in downgrade (as to be expected when the plugin is not existent for version 5.8..) # dnf install collectd-nut Last metadata expiration check: 0:52:07 ago on Sun 07 Jan 2018 12:06:42 PM CET.
