Re: Error running ocsinventory-agent

Check you don't have any file provided by a previous "manual" installation.

Also check that all your perl module are from EPEL or base (not from rpmforge)

rpm -qa perl\* | sort

Laptop:  Fedora 38 + rpmfusion + remi (SCL only)
x86_64 builder: Fedora 39 + rpmfusion + remi-test
aarch64 builder: RHEL 9 with EPEL
Hosting Server: CentOS 8 Stream with EPEL, rpmfusion, remi

Re: Error running ocsinventory-agent

Thank you Remi,
I did have some perl files from a "manual" installation. Tracing back from the path in the error message it took me to s site_perl directory, that had several nested folders that ended with a Ocsinventory directory. I deleted all of those directories, and ran

# ocsinventory-agent -f -s localhost

The command completed with any messages and the computer was updated with all the new info from the server in ocsreports.
Thank you,
Andrew
