[SOLVED] upgrade from 6.0.3 to 6.0.6: sysstat install failing

[ssatre]

Did a search and found numerous references to the missing sysstat plugin. Bear with me, I'm not a RedHat guru by any stretch.

RHEL 5 32-bit
Zimbra 6.0.3

Get the standard "sysstat is missing" message. Tried to install:

[root@zimbra ~]# yum install sysstat
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
Error: failed to retrieve repodata/primary.xml.gz from rhel-i386-server-5
error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error
[root@zimbra ~]#

Am I missing some other pre-sysstat dependency?

That's not a problem with sysstat or Zimbra, it's a problem with your access to RHN - the repository server is most likely inaccessible. You can try running the following:

yum clean all

Try the install of sysstat again, if that doesn't work I'd suggest contacting Red Hat or one of their support forums to see if there is actually a problem with their servers.

Ah, thank you! That seems to have done the trick; sysstat has been installed. I'll try the upgrade again this afternoon and see how it goes!

Edited to add: upgrade ran flawlessly last night, so now we're up to 6.0.6 and it's shiny and neat. Thanks again for the tip!
