Hi,
In trying to upgrade my CentOS 7 system (VPS) to AlmaLinux 8 via the Elevate project. My first attempts failed however. Apparently it stumbles over some conflict with proftpd and exim.
From leapp-upgrade.log:
I don't use any ftp services so I have disabled them in DA. It is not listed when I run
However it is still installed:
Does this mean it was installed outside DA?
Doing
I'm getting a similar error when I try to remove da_exim (which also appeared to be a bottleneck for the upgrade process.
What would this mean? As far as I know both exim and proftpd where installed by DA. How can can I uninstall da_exim and proftpd?
Thanks,
Theo
In trying to upgrade my CentOS 7 system (VPS) to AlmaLinux 8 via the Elevate project. My first attempts failed however. Apparently it stumbles over some conflict with proftpd and exim.
From leapp-upgrade.log:
Error: Transaction test error:
file /etc/proftpd.conf from install of proftpd-1.3.6e-7.el8.x86_64 conflicts with file from package proftpd-standalone-1.3.5-1.x86_64

Cannot calculate, check, test, or perform the upgrade transaction.
I don't use any ftp services so I have disabled them in DA. It is not listed when I run
./build list_removals
. If I nevertheless run ./build remove_proftpd
I get this:Disabling proftpd in services.status
Failed to stop proftpd.service: Unit proftpd.service not loaded.
Disabling proftpd in systemd...

ProFTPd has been successfully removed
However it is still installed:
yum list installed | grep proftpd
proftpd.x86_64 1.3.5-1 installed

Does this mean it was installed outside DA?
Doing
yum remove proftpd
fails partly. proftpd.x86_64 0:1.3.5-1 gets removed, but the removal of proftpd-standalone.x86_64 0:1.3.5-1 fails:error reading information on service proftpd: No such file or directory
