Debian 12 - Agent 2 Installation

[stevefxp]

Hello all,

I have two Debian 12 servers that I am trying to add to Zabbix, using the Agent2 install. When I run the dpkg command I am seeing the following:

dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'zabbix-agent2-plugin-postgresql' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'zabbix-agent2-plugin-mssql' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'zabbix-agent2-plugin-ember-plus' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'zabbix-agent2-plugin-mongodb' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

Is this an error, as I do not see this on my Ubuntu servers, or can I skip this?

Thanks,
Steve

You haven't mentioned your Zabbix version.
After downloading, are you trying to install the Zabbix release package from the official repositories?

dpkg -i zabbix-release_7.0-2+debian12_all.deb

Or have you already done so?

Yes I am downloading from the official repos. I am installing v7 agents across the board and Debian is v12.

Did you remove the previous release package before installing the new one?
This should list all of your repositories:

$ sudo grep -Erh '^deb ' /etc/apt/sources.list*

In my Debian 12 setup, the official release package added only these two active entries.

deb [arch=all] https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix-tools/debian-ubuntu bookworm main
deb https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/raspbian bookworm main

The packages quoted in the warning message refer to the Agent's plugins, but they do not exist in the repository.
I think that an older version of the Agent used these plugins, but they are no longer needed.

I guess that is just a warning.
