zabbix upgrade to 7

[tonyxjoseph]

I am trying to upgrade from version 6.4 to 7 using the instructions from https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../debian_ubuntu
getting the message zabbix-frontend-php is already the newest version

root@zabbix:/# apt-get install --only-upgrade zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-agent Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done zabbix-agent is already the newest version (1:7.0.0-1+ubuntu20.04). zabbix-frontend-php is already the newest version (1:6.4.2-1+ubuntu20.04). zabbix-server-mysql is already the newest version (1:6.4.2-1+ubuntu20.04).

Something in your repo list still points to 6.4 repos...

I got totally same issue when I was trying to upgrade v7 on Debian 11. Does someone have any recomendation?

zabbix-agent is already the newest version (1:7.0.0-1+debian11).
zabbix-frontend-php is already the newest version (1:6.4.8-2+debian11).
zabbix-server-mysql is already the newest version (1:6.4.8-2+debian11).

Hi!,
I have the same problem but I think I updated the repo list correctly:


So I took a look in the package-file (https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/u...amd64/Packages) and saw that there is no zabbix-server-pgsql package there.
I'm no expert on how packages and repositorys work but when I take the package-file of the jammy-release(https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/u...amd64/Packages) I can find an entry for the zabbix-server-pgsql package.

Could that be the problem?

I'm seeing the same thing for zabbix-server-mysql. The package is absent from the repos for xenial, bionic, and focal. Did someone screw up, or is Zabbix silently dropping support for Ubuntu systems older than 22.04?

Go to https://www.zabbix.com/download and see which components are available for your old operating systems.

Note that since Zabbix has many external dependencies, you cannot expect years-old operating systems to be supported in all possible Zabbix components.

Wow. I was poring over the Zabbix documentation for literal hours over the past few days trying to find any indication that Zabbix was dropping support for older Ubuntu versions. Nothing in the Requirements page, or Upgrade Procedure, or in the "Breaking changes" section of the notes for 7.0. I would've saved a lot of time had I known that information lived somewhere other than the official documentation.

Is this an indicator that Zabbix Server on Ubuntu 20.04 is no more? Is there any possibility of them releasing a compatible version in the future? If not, it would've been nice to have some kind of advance notice.

Looks like happen with Debian 11 packages.
Updated to Debian 12 and updated to Zabbix 7.0 without problems.

It didn't work for me. I 'm having an issue upgrade libodbc2 and apt --fix-broken install' doesn't fix it. Do you have any recomendation?

zabbix-apache-conf is already the newest version (1:7.0.0-1+debian12).
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zabbix-server-mysql : Depends: libodbc2 (>= 2.3.1) but it is not going to be inst alled
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Based on google search:

https://phoenixnap.com/kb/fix-sub-process-usr-bin-dpkg-returned-error-code-1

What I would try is (after backing up all relevant Zabbix configuration files) something like this:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt purge zabbix\*
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install zabbix-server-mysql ... (whatever packages are needed)

I can confirm, these packages are missing for Ubuntu 20.04:
Server, Frontend
These are still available:
- Proxy
- Agent
- Agent 2
- Java Gateway
- Web Service

I suppose 20.04 is just too old to run v7... Even being LTS version, it may not have latest versions for required packages, thus .. you cannot run server or frontend on it as it seems. You can still use it for proxy, java GW or web services. And agent is also available.
