Try to install snapd but giving `conflicting requests` error - redhat

I am trying to install snapd but giving this error.
Operating System - Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.6 (Ootpa)
Error:
Problem: package snapd-2.57.6-2.el8.x86_64 requires snapd-selinux = 2.57.6-2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides selinux-policy >= 3.14.3-108.el8 needed by snapd-selinux-2.57.6-2.el8.noarch

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

I have the same problem. There's a long discussion about this here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/trouble-installing-snapd-on-rhel-8/13140/2. It looks like the only way to do it, if you can install all the necessary build tools, is to build from sources, as one of the posts there suggests.(I couldn't do it on my system because it's having subscription management issues.)
I also tried using CR repository, as suggested in the instructions for CentOS here: https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snap-on-centos, but that didn't work for me, either (I guess it's really just for CentOS and not RHEL).
UPDATE:
I finally found a solution (where there's a will...)! I manually installed all the requirements, one by one, that weren't available in the epel-release repo. My process was the following:
wget https://rpmfind.net/linux/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/rpm-4.14.3-19.el8.x86_64.rpm
wget https://rpmfind.net/linux/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/rpm-libs-4.14.3-19.el8.x86_64.rpm

sudo yum install snapd -y
sudo yum update snapd -y
It's conceivable that on your system something else will be missing. If you run into an error telling you that nothing provides package XYZ, you can find it here: https://centos.pkgs.org/8-stream/centos-baseos-x86_64/ and simply sudo yum install directly from the binary package URL; e.g.:
That's exactly what my process was, and here's what I have now:
$ cat /etc/redhat-release (base)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.2 (Ootpa)
$ snap --version (base)
snap 2.57.6-2.el8
snapd 2.52.1
series 16
rhel 8.2
kernel 4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64

legacy-install-failure error for sentence piece in jac

We recently had to reset our virtual environment, and thus had to reinstall jaseci_ai_kit via pip install jaseci_ai_kit. This commands runs fine for everyone in our group with a windows computer, but those of us with a mac receive a "legacy-install-failure" error for a package called sentencepiece. We were having trouble debugging this error ourselves (and sadly can't use any intent transitions until we do)
For linux you solve it by using this command
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y upgrade
sudo apt -y install --no-install-recommends git g++ build-essential pkg-config cmake

Why is installing PostGIS 3 on RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 impossible?

I am attempting to install the latest PostGIS 3.0.x on CentOS 8, with no luck.
I don't think anyone is running PostGIS on RHEL 8 or CentOS 8, I can't understand why not. It does not seem possible to install.
I have successfully installed Postgres 12.0 by disabling the RHEL AppStream
Steps I took installing postgres 12 on CentOS 8:
1)
#dnf install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
2)
#dnf --disablerepo AppStream install postgresql12
#dnf --disablerepo AppStream install postgresql12-server
I am attempting now to install PostGIS.
#dnf list --available | grep postgis30
I see that postgis30_96 is the latest offered (as listed below):
postgis30_96.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-client.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-client-debuginfo.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-debuginfo.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-devel.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-docs.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-gui.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-gui-debuginfo.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-utils.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
When I try to install with the following command:
#dnf install postgis30_96
I get these errors:
Last metadata expiration check: 1:22:58 ago on Tue 15 Oct 2019 08:25:10 PM UTC.
Error:
Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
- nothing provides hdf5 needed by postgis30_96-3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8.x86_64
- nothing provides xerces-c needed by postgis30_96-3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
I look for xerces-c, and nothing is returned:
#dnf list --available | grep xerces-c
Where do I get xerces-c to install?
I look to see if hdf5 is available to install (dependency)
#dnf list --available | grep hdf5
and nothing is returned. How do I satisfy these dependencies, so that PostGIS will install?
I goto the hdf5 website, download the source and it's a BIG FAT MESS. The build/install instructions do not work - the code is out of sync with the install instructions.
I check the hdf5 website and find another set of build/install instructions, and they too are out of sync with the latest code base. I don't know which way is up with this project, if it's a zombie project out there on the web, seemingly alive, but nobody's home.
How do I get hdf5 easily onto my system and xerces-c so that nothing existing gets mucked up? I would prefer to install these through any somewhat sanctioned CentOS 8 package repo using dnf.
I can't log this issue on the PostGIS ticket tracking system. Logging a ticket there requires an OSGEO ID, and when I request a 'mantra' to get started, nothing is returned, no response,
OSGEO is yet another zombie project, nobody's home. https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/osgeo_userid/
Please respond only if you have actually done this yourself on a CentOS 8 machine or VM, while I appreciate suggestions, pointers or imaginations from others, it pollutes r/postgis reddit with misinformation, non-working solutions, and not only wastes my time with dead ends, but also the time of others.
Someone else inevitably comes along with the same problems and is misguided with these those that are well-intentioned, but provide incorrect or incomplete information.
I had the same problem and finally found the solution. I need postgis25 for postgresql10, so I typed this command
dnf --enablerepo=PowerTools install postgis25_10
The PowerTools repo has the packages from codeready-developer repo, from Redhat CodeReady Studio. It contains a lot of useful tools.
Cannot enable PowerTools for RHEL 8
https://access.redhat.com/discussions/5417621
Remarks: PowerTools is a CentOS repository. On RHEL 8 we have the CodeReady Builder repository!
I am now able to install PostGIS-3 for PostgreSQL-12 on RHEL-8.
Solution:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
dnf install postgis30_12
Summing up the previous answers, these are the commands needed to install PostGIS-3 on CentOS-8:
dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
dnf -qy module disable postgresql
yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
dnf --enablerepo=PowerTools install postgresql12-server postgresql12-contrib postgis30_12
Many of the answers were helpful. To sum up the steps I had to take and errors in the instructions at https://people.planetpostgresql.org/devrim/index.php?/archives/107-Installing-PostGIS-3.1-and-PostgreSQL-13-on-CentOS-8.html
As mentioned by Marcelo, for RHEL use code-ready, not powertools.
As mentioned in this thread, don't mix packages. Run dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
to get the pgdg repo before installing postgres. Then run dnf -qy module disable postgresql if needed then install postgres like sudo dnf install -y postgresql13-server
The command to install epel-repo listed here may not work. Try sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
Get the name of the latest postgis release with this command. sudo dnf list --available | grep postgis3 As mentioned by Nick, the second two digits are your postgres version.
Install postgis sudo dnf -y install postgis3x_xx I repeat, the second two digits are your postgres version.
So, in summary, to install postgres and postgis on my rhel8 sytstem, I ran these commands in this order.
sudo dnf -qy module disable postgresql
sudo dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install -y postgresql13-server
sudo /usr/pgsql-13/bin/postgresql-13-setup initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql-13
sudo systemctl start postgresql-13
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
sudo dnf -y install postgis31_13
The postgis30_96 packages are for Postgres 9.6. You need postgis30_12 for Postgres 12.
These packages are definitely in the repo, so if your dnf list isn't seeing them, it may be an instance of a known issue in which "yum/dnf refuse to find/install many packages from PGDG repository on RHEL8".
As a workaround, the Postgres Yum Howto recommends this installation procedure:
dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
dnf -qy module disable postgresql
dnf install postgresql11-server postgresql11-contrib
Percona Postgresql 13 And Postgis 3.0
https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-repo-config/index.html
dnf remove postgresql
sudo dnf install https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo percona-release setup ppg-13
You can refer here:
https://www.percona.com/doc/postgresql/LATEST/installing.html#using-the-rpm-format
sudo dnf module disable postgresql
sudo dnf install percona-postgresql13-server
sudo dnf install percona-pg_repack13
sudo dnf install percona-pgaudit
sudo dnf install percona-pgbackrest
sudo dnf install percona-patroni
sudo dnf install percona-pg-stat-monitor13
sudo dnf install percona-postgresql13-contrib
/usr/pgsql-13/bin/postgresql-13-setup initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql-13
PostGIS
dnf -y config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
dnf install -y postgis30_13 postgis30_13-client
What helped me in CentOS container (as a root):
yum -y install dnf-plugins-core && yum config-manager --set-enabled powertools
Installing dnf-plugins-core and enabling powertools.

Installing PostgreSQL Client v10 on AWS Amazon Linux (EC2) AMI

I have successfully launched new AWS RDS PostgreSQL v10 instance and need to install PostgreSQL v10 client on Amazon Linux EC2 instance.
I have tried to install it with yum, but it cant find the package for v10:
[ec2-user#ip-X-X-X-X ~]$ sudo yum install -y postgresql10
Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper
amzn-main | 2.1 kB 00:00:00
amzn-updates | 2.5 kB 00:00:00
No package postgresql110 available.
Error: Nothing to do
Previously I managed to install PostgreSQL client v9.5 with:
[ec2-user#ip-X-X-X-X ~]$ sudo yum install -y postgresql95
I guess I need to add Postgres yum repository, as mentioned in https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/. But what Platform should I choose for Amazon Linux? Red Hat?
You can try to run the following command on your Linux server:
sudo amazon-linux-extras install postgresql10
Packages/Repos which is designed to work of RedHat will work on Amazon Linux also, Amazon Linux is a minimal-install version of RHEL. You may run into compatibility issues if you select old version of Amazon Linux (Amazon linux 1) for the below steps, otherwise it should work fine in the latest version Amazon Linux 2.
Check Amazon Linux version
[ec2-user ~]$ cat /etc/system-release
Amazon Linux release 2.0 (2017.12) LTS Release Candidate
Install RHEL 7 yum repo for PostgreSQL
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo yum install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/10/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat10-10-2.noarch.rpm
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo sed -i "s/rhel-\$releasever-\$basearch/rhel-latest-x86_64/g" "/etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-10-redhat.repo"
Install PostgreSQL Client v10
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo yum install -y postgresql10
[ec2-user ~]$ psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 10.3
Read more about Amazon Linux 2
Note! Amazon Linux 2 provides additional package installation through Amazon Linux Extras Repository (amazon-linux-extras) ((client only)). Since postgresql10 is not yet available, adding extra yum repo is the only solution per today.

those who see
Error: Package: pgdg-redhat-repo-42.0-4.noarch
(/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch)
Requires: /etc/redhat-release
may still install step by step all dependencies and the server with:
yum install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/10/redhat/rhel-latest-x86_64/postgresql10-libs-10.7-2PGDG.rhel7.x86_64.rpm
yum install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/10/redhat/rhel-latest-x86_64/postgresql10-10.7-2PGDG.rhel7.x86_64.rpm
yum install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/10/redhat/rhel-latest-x86_64/postgresql10-server-10.7-2PGDG.rhel7.x86_64.rpm
Since none of the previous answers worked for me, I'm adding a solution that let me install the postgresql10 client. We're using VERSION="2018.03" of Amazon Linux AMI in our pipelines.
Building from source:
Note: The link below points to postgresql 10.4, you may want to check for newer subversions
sudo yum install -y gcc readline-devel zlib-devel
wget https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v10.4/postgresql-10.4.tar.gz
tar -xf postgresql-10.4.tar.gz
cd postgresql-10.4
./configure
make -C src/bin
sudo make -C src/bin install
make -C src/include
sudo make -C src/include install
make -C src/interfaces
sudo make -C src/interfaces install
make -C doc
sudo make -C doc install
The new package should be installed with all its executables in here: /usr/local/pgsql/bin
Now, keep in mind that commands psql, pg_dump etc. still point to the old version of the psql client. You can run with the full executable paths (/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql) or prepend the new directory at the beginning of your $PATH so that the system will look it up first:
Edit ~/.bash_profile adding this at the end:
export PATH="/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH"
Then run:
source ~/.bash_profile
Now everything should be ready:
[ec2-user#ip-xx-x-x-xxx ~]$ psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 10.4
Adapting Haneef Mohammed's answer for Amazon Linux 1 (tested on 2018.03):
Go to the Postgres repositories page and grab the URL for 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64'. Install the PG repos and amend the entries, replacing '$releasever' with '6.9' (or newer?):
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo yum install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/10/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-redhat10-10-2.noarch.rpm
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo sed -i "s/rhel-\$releasever-\$basearch/rhel-6.9-x86_64/g" "/etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-10-redhat.repo"
Second part is the same:
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo yum install -y postgresql10
[ec2-user ~]$ psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 10.3
PGDG repo is no longer available for Amazon Linux. So you can use amazon repo.
amazon-linux-extras install postgresql10 vim epel -y
Or follow this article
https://installvirtual.com/install-postgresql-10-on-amazon-ec2/
As of May 25th, 2019, the following direct RPM installation worked for me on Amazon Linux 1 2018.03 (latest Beanstalk platform version) to install PostgreSQL Client 10.7:
sudo rpm -ivh --force https://yum.postgresql.org/testing/10/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/postgresql10-libs-10.7-2PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh --force https://yum.postgresql.org/testing/10/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/postgresql10-10.7-2PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
PSql10.7 installation (08/20/2019)
Remove all of the older version Psql client and perform the below steps:
wget https://yum.postgresql.org/10/redhat/rhel-6.9-x86_64/postgresql10-libs-10.7-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
wget https://yum.postgresql.org/10/redhat/rhel-6.9-x86_64/postgresql10-10.7-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh postgresql10-libs-10.7-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh postgresql10-10.7-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
This my 2019 solution:
Just do
sudo amazon-linux-extras install postgresql9.6
You should not have to download it from any outside source, since it is already given to you by default from Amazon, all you have to do is install it.
The other solutions didnt work for me and I spent a good amount time banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why.
And surprisingly even though you install psql9.6 you get version 10.
The following works for psql v11 on Amazon Linux (v1)
wget https://yum.postgresql.org/11/redhat/rhel-6.9-x86_64/postgresql11-libs-11.8-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
wget https://yum.postgresql.org/11/redhat/rhel-6.9-x86_64/postgresql11-11.8-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum clean all
sudo rpm -ivh postgresql11-libs-11.8-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh postgresql11-11.8-1PGDG.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
The way I resolved the issue was by running
yum clean all
before
yum install -y postgresql10
on Amazon Linux
for v11 on Amazon Linux 2 I had to do
yum -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/11/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos11-11-2.noarch.rpm
sed -i "s/rhel-\$releasever-\$basearch/rhel-7-x86_64/g" "/etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-11-centos.repo"

Remove grafana from ubuntu 17.10

I'm trying to un-install grafana 4.6.3 from Ubuntu 17.10, but is not possible. So far i have tried
sudo apt-get remove grafana , sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove grafana
and says Unable to locate package grafana.
Also tried to install it again from ubuntu software in order to unistall it properly but then pops me up an error message says: Unable to install grafana snap "graphana" is already installed. I installed it first time from ubuntu software.
What can i do to un-install it?
Have you tried dpkg?
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <packagename>
If apt won't remove it try using dpkg.
You could also try and clean up your apt utility.
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/<package_name.deb>
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Using Kivy on Eclipse Indigo, Ubuntu 10.04 & Python 2.7

I would like to use Kivy on Eclipse Indigo on Ubuntu 10.04. I understand that python 2.7 is required (2.6 is the default on 10.04) and have python 2.7 installed as well. I've done lots of research but not found an answer. Can I do this and if so how? I don't want to upgrade ubuntu nor Eclipse since this would probably destabilise existing developments.
Kivy and Eclipse are not related, and Eclipse is not necessary for running or editing Kivy programs. I can help to answer the Kivy part of your question, and will leave Eclipse to others.
Since Ubuntu 10.04 is out of support, it's hard to tell which required system packages are not available. This will probably be the most tedious part of the process. For Kivy on Ubuntu 12.04 you need:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential mercurial git python2.7 python-dev ccache ffmpeg libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev libportmidi-dev libswscale-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev zlib1g-dev unzip
Some of those packages will have different versions on Ubuntu 10.04. Hopefully they are all available in some form.
Next you need to bootstrap an up-to-date Python setuptools environment:
sudo apt-get remove --purge -y python-virtualenv python-pip python-setuptools
wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo python2.7
rm -f setuptools*.zip
sudo easy_install-2.7 -U pip
Now you can install an up-to-date Cython:
sudo apt-get remove --purge -y cython
sudo pip2.7 install -U cython
Next you can install an up-to-date NumPy, which is required for PyGame:
sudo apt-get remove --purge -y python-numpy
sudo pip2.7 install -U numpy
Now you can install an up-to-date PyGame:
sudo apt-get remove --purge -y python-pygame
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
cd pygame
python2.7 setup.py build
sudo python2.7 setup.py install
cd ..
sudo rm -rf pygame
Now that all of the dependencies are met, you can install an up-to-date Kivy:
sudo apt-get remove --purge -y python-kivy
sudo pip install -U kivy
