If the answer is yes, you had better stop reading this and figure out your issue on your own (by reading the apt docs...hint...hint) What OS/version is this? ----------------------------- If the OS is Debian Lenny (This may/may not work in Ubuntu): ----------------------------- Fist find which nagios packages are installed. Install apt-show-versions. I recommend using aptitude has it has greater package dependency handling abilities and saftey guards. [15:27:28 root@jenna:~]# aptitude install apt-show-versions </blockquote><div> </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Second, invoke apt-show-versions and parse the output using grep. [15:29:28 root@jenna:~]# apt-show-versions | grep nagios nagios-images/lenny uptodate 0.4 nagios-nrpe-plugin/lenny uptodate 2.12-1 nagios-plugins/lenny uptodate 1.4.12-5 nagios-plugins-basic/lenny uptodate 1.4.12-5 nagios-plugins-standard/lenny uptodate 1.4.12-5 nagios3/lenny uptodate 3.0.6-4~lenny2 nagios3-common/lenny uptodate 3.0.6-4~lenny2 nagios3-doc/lenny uptodate 3.0.6-4~lenny2 [15:29:33 root@jenna:~]# </blockquote><div>root@ubuntu:~# apt-show-versions | grep nagios nagios-plugins-standard/dapper uptodate 1.4.2-5ubuntu3.1 nagios-plugins-basic/dapper uptodate 1.4.2-5ubuntu3.1 nagios-common/dapper uptodate 2:1.3-cvs.20050402-8ubuntu8 nagios-plugins/dapper uptodate 1.4.2-5ubuntu3.1 </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> The first string is the package name to use as an argument to `aptitude remove --purge`. I recommend you start from scratch and remove ALL nagios packages to help quell confusion. If I wanted to only remove the nagios core package(s) (and purge configuration files) I would invoke aptitude like this: [15:29:33 root@jenna:~]# aptitude remove --purge nagios3 nagios3-common </blockquote><div> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "nagios3" Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "nagios3-common" . . 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 324 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> If I wanted to save the configuration files, I would omit the --purge switch. If, you are like me and are short tempered, you can invoke aptitude with more than one task. Such as the following. [15:29:33 root@jenna:~]# aptitude remove --purge nagios3 nagios3-common nagios2+ This command will remove (and purge) nagios3 and nagios3-common. Then it will install nagios2 thuns accomplishing a downgrade. Obviously, this command isn't what you want, but I decided to show it for informational purposes. hope this helps.
