Upgrade Zabbix 5.4.0 to 5.4.7

[brhunt]

Hello,

I have not been able to upgrade my Zabbix 5.4.0 server to a later version (5.4.7 for example).

I am on Ubuntu server 20.04 and using packages.

I follow the instructions for intra-version upgrades but no joy.

What am I missing? Can I not upgrade via packages?

Thanks.

zabbix.list has sources for 6.0 but you have 6.4?

[tim.mooney]

You absolutely should be able to upgrade from 5.4.0 to 5.4.7 via packages. Since you're staying within the 5.4 series and just upgrading the "micro" version, it should be an easy and painless process.

Can you provide the link to the instructions that you have been following as well as what the output is that you've been getting when you try the process?

Tim,

Thanks for the response. Here are the steps that I took and the responses I received:

If you have changed the repository, please update the repository information first.

# apt update

[brhunt]

Atsushi,

Thanks for the response. I rand apt update, then reran the apt install commands. Same result, unable to locate.

[Atsushi]

Is your environment connected to the Internet and can use the apt command?

[brhunt]

Atsushi, yes on Internet, and yes on apt.

[rthonpm]

Any difference if you just run apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade?

rthonpm, I ran those commands and a number of things upgraded. I then tried to rerun the zabbix upgrades, same errors. Says that it cannot locate the packages.

[rthonpm]

Something doesn't seem right because you shouldn't have to run any of those scripts on their own: just running the regular upgrade command should do that for you. Do the Zabbix repos show in /etc/apt/sources.list.d? If you already have the agent or server installed what is the output of
systemctl status zabbix-server
systemctl status zabbix-agent

Have you also checked to make sure that apt isn't broken in some way? It's been awhile since I've used Ubuntu or Debian regularly, but apt was always good for breaking or causing errors.

rthonpm,

First, no files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Next, I reran the wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.4/u...u20.04_all.deb and dpkg -i zabbix-release_5.4-1+ubuntu20.04_all.deb commands.
Then I ran apt-get update. Then apt-get install --only-upgrade zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-agent with the following results:

I must be doing something wrong?

[brhunt]

All,

I have finally been able to get Zabbix upgraded to 5.4.7.

When initially trying to do the upgrade, I didn't understand which exact steps needed to be executed from the instructions. One of the steps I ran was: rm -Rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbix.list, which deleted the zabbix.list file. I assumed that it would be recreated in a later step. It was not.

When rthonpm asked me what was in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory, I found nothing. This triggered me to look at another Zabbix server with the same setup and I saw the zabbix.list file.

I copied the file from the second server to the first, ran apt upgrade and that worked perfectly!

Thanks to all who gave guidance.

Not for me. I have /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbix.list.

In this file I have this lines:

steps:
1. wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.0/d...bian11_all.deb
2. dpkg -i zabbix-release_latest+debian11_all.deb
3. apt update
4. apt install --only-upgrade "zabbix*"
