packages update error AlmaLinux 8

In a fresh VPS with Almalinux8

I have tried to do:

dnf -update


Error:

Any idea?

Hi,

Try to do this commands in SSH:
sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf update

if the error is still there, you can try to update anyway:
sudo dnf update --allowerasing

same problem

Check:
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/

See if you have duplicated repos there or show here

The issue appears to be with amavis package.

How did you install AlmaLinux? Starburst's guide for AlmaLinux 9 is almost the same for 8 -- substitute 8 for 9 where appropriate. Did you install the EPEL and ELrepo repositories? Do you have all the prerequisites (including perl modules)?

You can't have any services installed before installing CWP.

So if Apache is working 'out of the box', you are installing AlmaLinux 9.4 LAMP.
That won't work.

Reimage with the bare AlmaLinux 9.4 (DVD)

Setup your networking, hostname, timzone.

Then:

Code: [Select]

dnf install dnf-plugins-core

Code: [Select]

dnf install elrepo-release epel-release -y

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/crb enable

Code: [Select]

dnf --refresh update

Code: [Select]

dnf install nano wget ipset ebtables iptables uuid uuid-devel libuuid-devel m4 pcre pcre-devel zlib-devel perl-DBD-MySQL perl-IPC-Cmd perl-Pod-Html perl-Sys-Hostname perl-libwww-perl.noarch perl-LWP-Protocol-https.noarch perl-GDGraph libtool s-nail htop sysstat python3-perf ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel -y

Code: [Select]

dnf --refresh update

Code: [Select]

dnf install clamav* clamd

Code: [Select]

dnf clean all

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/local/src

Code: [Select]

wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-el9-latest

Code: [Select]

sh cwp-el9-latest

Code: [Select]

dnf install spamassassin amavis
