Zabbix Agent and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Install issues - Missing Repo

[thebunnyman]

Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on a few of our production servers. It appears that packages are missing from the Ubuntu Repository.

I have folllowed the official zabbix documentation; b. Install Zabbix repository

# wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.2/r...u24.04_all.deb
# dpkg -i zabbix-release_latest_7.2+ubuntu24.04_all.deb
# apt update c. Install Zabbix agent

# apt install zabbix-agent d. Start Zabbix agent process


Start Zabbix agent process and make it start at system boot.
# systemctl restart zabbix-agent
# systemctl enable zabbix-agent

but specifically for Ubuntu 24.04 I cannot get passed B.3 apt update.

I've installed Zabbix on hundreds of servers and workstations before.

Also checked https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?s...s=zabbix-agent for noble (24.04) and the only package that shows up is: Package pcp-export-zabbix-agent

• noble (24.04LTS) (utils): Module for exporting PCP metrics to Zabbix agent [universe] 6.2.0-1.1build4: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x

Which isn't right.

I do the same for Jammy; Package zabbix-agent

• jammy (22.04LTS) (net): network monitoring solution - agent [universe] 1:5.0.17+dfsg-1: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x

And that is correct -

I try the same steps for jammy (apt get install zabbix-agent) and it works fine. Issue is most of my systems have been recently updated to noble and zabbix was working at one time for noble. Does anyone know why Zabbix removed their packages from the Ubuntu repos? Right now i'll most likely need to compile for source.

I promise i'm not crazy.
