Upgrade Failure: Need help

[TecDragon]

Trying to upgrade my proxies from 6.0.6 to 6.2

Ubuntu 20.04

following the instructions found here

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../debian_ubuntu

Which are a bit vague when it comes to proxies so also looking at the instructions found here

https://bestmonitoringtools.com/upgr...r_Zabbix-Agent

Basically doing the following as sudo user

1. service zabbix-proxy stop
2. rm -Rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbix.list
3. wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.2/u...20.04_all.deb
4. dpkg -i zabbix-release_6.2-1+ubuntu20.04_all.deb
5. apt-get update

Everything seems to work to this point, it fails starting at step 6.

Then tried all of the following commands
6. apt-get install --only-upgrade zabbix-proxy-mysql
a. This one did something appeared to upgrade mysql

7. apt install -y --only-upgrade zabbix-proxy
a. ERROR - unable to locate package zabbix-proxy

8. sudo apt install --only-upgrade 'zabbix-server.*'
a. ERROR - Couldn't find any package by glob 'zabbix-proxy.*'

I can still restart the service
9. service zabbix-proxy start

But it still shows - Zabbix_Proxy (Zabbix) 6.0.6


What am I doing wrong? Please and thank you!

Hi!
Probably, it's because the older Let's Encrypt root CA expired and software linked against older versions of OpenSSL or GnuTLS don't realize that there's a separate trust chain that is still valid.
Try to update ca-certificates for your system:

sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates

Also, can you show us output of these:

apt update
dpkg -l zabbix\*
apt upgrade

In step 4 of the directions supplied here
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../debian_ubuntu

It states to:

4 Update repository configuration package
To proceed with the update your current repository package has to be uninstalled.
# rm -Rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbix.list

That doesn't seem to be enough, in the instructions found here
https://bestmonitoringtools.com/upgr...r_Zabbix-Agent

It states to

dpkg --purge zabbix-release

After doing that command and then re-running through the steps from
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../debian_ubuntu

I was able to run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and it worked.

Final process was
1. sudo service zabbix-proxy stop
2. sudo dpkg --purge zabbix-release
3. sudo wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.2/u...u20.04_all.deb
4. sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_6.2-1+ubuntu20.04_all.deb
5. sudo apt-get update
6. sudo apt-get upgrade
7. reboot

Thanks for your replies!
