Unable to install Networker-Client 8.2 on CentOS 7/Oracle EL 7

I have it on my Test server and had no issues installation it. is it complaining about the dependencies ? What is the error that you get.

Hi,

I am not able to install the networker client version 7.6.4 on CentOS 7, I get an error message;

Transaction check error:

  file /opt from install of lgtoclnt-7.6.4-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-18.el7.x86_64

Can you tell me if CentOS 7 is supported for this version?

Cheers,

Rowan

Ok thanks.  After reading up on similar problems with CentOS 7, it seems that if an rpm tries to make ownership changes to /opt it will be denied.

The fix seems to be to recompile the rpm after removing the lines;

./rpmrebuild.sh -pe /tmp/networker/linux_x86_64/lgtoclnt-7.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm

%dir %attr(0775, root, root) "/opt"

Unfortunately, this failed for me, and it looks like I need either the source rpm or the spec file for it?

I have one question - in title you say 8.2 and later on you speak of NW client 7.  Why?

Further, CentOS 7 is not officially supported according to official compatibility matrix.  Most likely this will change with 8.2SP1, but that's just uneducated guess.  Now, one use already noted he/she runs this setup with 8.2 already.  NW8.x and 7.x is big difference so you should try 8.2.  Check also A5 node for CentOS on online compatibility guide.  On the other hand, EL is usually linked to its sister distribution of RedHat (RHEL) 7 is supported by 8.2.

Hi, sorry for the confusion, I piggy-backed another person's thread, as I too had a problem with CentOS 7.  I have now downloaded and installed the NetWorker 8.1 SP2 for Linux for x64, and it is installed fine on CentOS 7.

Thanks for your help.
