Resolved Inconsistencies were detected in the system's package manager database

Server operating system version

Almalinux 8.9

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.59 Update #2

Hi,
this error message has already been answered many times for Debian, but my system is Almalinux 8.9 .
So I can't just type dpkg --audit and find out... And I failed to find such a clean command with dnf.

There are 53 system packages to upgrade, but they are the most important : grub, MariaDB, glibc... So I am not sure about the right method.

What should I do with these updates ?
Could someone point me to a log file where I could find the inconsistency reported by Plesk ?

Best regards,
-Mato

Maybe you could start with
# package-cleanup --problems

Thank you, will try this !

Hi, it says :
Problem: problem with installed package mariadb-gssapi-server-3:10.3.39-1.module_el8.8.0+3609+204d4ab0.x86_64
- nothing provides mariadb-server(x86-64) = 3:10.3.39-1.module_el8.8.0+3609+204d4ab0 needed by mariadb-gssapi-server-3:10.3.39-1.module_el8.8.0+3609+204d4ab0.x86_64 from @System
There is no mention of the other 52 packages.
I remember using the new tool earlier this year to upgrade the MariaDB server from v10.3 to v10.5.
It went without any issue. Could this be related anyhow?

FYI, the tool I'm referring to is the one described here : Question - Try our new tool to upgrade your old MariaDB server from Plesk UI

Hi, I still have the problem presented above.
As already said, I upgraded to MariaDB 10.5 without problem, but it seems that one of the previous 10.3 package is still here and stops any update because it has unmet depdendancies.
Is the package mariadb-gssapi-server.x86_64, which seems to have no 10.5 version.
Is it safe to remove it ?

I removed the offending packet (which only exists for Active Directoy/Kerberos authentication) and all upgrades went smoothly.
Conclusion : the MariaDB script should remove the mariadb-gssapi-server.x86_64 packet automatically when upgrading from 10.3 to 10.5.
