Transaction test error: Package conflict on yum update

[CAISC]

Hi,

We are having Cloudlinux 8 server with DA (ver: 1.645) running perfectly over last 1 year.
recently yum update started showing -
Error: Transaction test error:

Not sure why all of sudden this conflict error has started, server packages were updated same way since last 1 year never such error came.
Any suggestion from forum members will be helpful to fix this. I think post updating to DA ver 1.645 this issue has started.

Thanks

I'm seeing the same issue when trying to install Imunify360 on a CloudLinux 8 machine:

[2022-12-13 02:57:50] Error: Transaction test error:
[2022-12-13 02:57:50]   file /usr/share/man/man1/pp.1.gz from install of nss-tools-3.79.0-10.el8_6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package perl-PAR-Packer-1.052-2.el8.x86_64

I don't have nss-tools on AlmaLinux 8, but I have it on CentOS 7. What if you try and remove nss-tools then?

To test and see whether it will try to remove other packages run

yum remove nss-tools

answer 'N' when you will be asked for a confirmation.

It won't remove it, it will fail to install. My workaround for now (it's a test machine) was to remove perl-PAR-Packer and proceed with the installation:

dnf remove perl-PAR-Packer-1.052-2.el8.x86_64 --noautoremove

I also asked CloudLinux about this, this was their answer:

We are aware of the issue, and for now the solution would indeed be removing perl-PAR-Packer-1.052-2.el8.x86_64 since that package is an unknown for us third-party package installed from the epel repository.

Thanks we already done with this. and we can install imunify
