grafana being installed from main repo?

Post by andrewm659 » 2020/06/15 18:21:38

I am getting to run updates on some of my home systems and noticed that grafana was being installed w/o me having a repo for it on the systems...Did I miss something?

from your post, it's coming from the AppStream repo - that you do seem to have.

Actually, this might be interesting.

When you run dnf upgrade, it's supposed to only update things that are already installed, but sometimes it will install something that wasn't already installed? I don't have a solid test case for this, but seem to remember it happening.

Question 1
Was grafana already installed, or did it suddenly install without you asking for it?

Question 2
I thought grafana only existed in RHEL8.2 and CentOS 8.2?

The log you posted doesn't seem to include the command, just the output?

Apparently, it's worse than that (and I'm not loving it either).

This morning I ran updates, and got 8.2 - which seems to have re-installed subscription-manager that I had removed from 8.1. I'm not happy with this new policy.

If CentOS 8.2 has arrrived, that explains why grafana has suddenly appeared.

But, o/s updates should mean updates to things that are installed, I don't think new features should be added. e.g. you don't want something to start unexpectedly on a production server.

I'm currently on CentOS 8.1 and I see one installed package related to subscription manager

Code: Select all

subscription-manager-initial-setup-addon.x86_64
This is showing as "available", but not installed

Code: Select all

subscription-manager.x86_64
But I thought this was only for RHEL, what does it do in CentOS?

Didn't expect all the responses. But glad I'm not the only one. Has anyone found anything out yet? I have only upgraded random test servers to 8.2.

Also, I do not have grafana installed anywhere but on 1 server. Prometheus node_exporter is installed on all my servers. I have tried to reach out to people on twitter or some form of social media but no response.

So did anything come about because of this? This is REALLY messing with my actual Grafana installation on CentOS 8.
