"zabbix_get" not available in "zabbix-proxy-pgsql" package

[s0r1n]

Let's suppose zabbix_get is not installed:

$ zabbix_get -s <hostname> - k"system.uptime"

Der Befehl 'zabbix_get' wurde nicht gefunden, kann aber installiert werden mit:

sudo apt install zabbix-proxy-mysql # version 1:4.0.17+dfsg-1, or
sudo apt install zabbix-proxy-pgsql # version 1:4.0.17+dfsg-1
sudo apt install zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 # version 1:4.0.17+dfsg-1
sudo apt install zabbix-server-mysql # version 1:4.0.17+dfsg-1
sudo apt install zabbix-server-pgsql # version 1:4.0.17+dfsg-1

but this message is false and confusing because zabbix-proxy-pgsql is already installed and zabbix_get is missing:

$ sudo apt-get install zabbix-proxy-pgsql
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
zabbix-proxy-pgsql ist schon die neueste Version (1:4.0.29-1+focal).

I think that zabbix_get command is included in another package called zabbix-get.

[s0r1n]

This is correct there is a package called zabbix-get which contains the zabbix_get command.

But when zabbix_get isn't installed, the indication to install it thru zabbix-proxy-mysql or zabbix-proxy-pgsql or zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 or zabbix-server-mysql or zabbix-server-pgsql is erroneous and confusing and it should be changed.

The OS or package you are using is probably outputting the message. It seems that you are not using the official Zabbix package, so ask the maintainer of the OS or package you are using to fix it.

[s0r1n]

Which are the official Zabbix packages? The packages I use are downloaded from repo.zabbix.com

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbix.list
deb [ arch=amd64 ] http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.0/ubuntu/ focal main

[dimir]

These are official.

The presented output comes from "command-not-found" package in Ubuntu (at least). Maybe it can be improved somehow, I don't know.

And anyway, I think the zabbix_get has pretty no dependency so you could just copy it over.
