Filezilla on CentOS 9

[Pyrrus_psychiatrist]

Hi guys

Im doing a project for school using FTPs, and im using CentOS Stream 9, but i can-t install Filezilla.

i use:
sudo dnf install filezilla
get:
No match for argument: filezilla

I look into numerous websites, but didn´t find anything.
Can somebody help me? Thnks.

CentOS has never shipped filezilla but it is usually available in the EPEL repo. However, since CentOS Stream 9 is a beta of a beta operating system, there may not be an EPEL 9 to install it from. I'd suggest googleing for CentOS Stream 9 and EPEL and see if there is a pre-release version of it available.

There is EPEL for EL9: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org ... available/
To enable: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#_el9
Alas, the amount of content is still low. For example, no "filezilla".

IMHO, CentOS Stream 9 is ok for getting ready for RHEL 9.
For example, to somewhat prepare config management for it. To answer: What will have to be adapted?
But, not for "work".

On CentOS Stream 9 seeing this error when I run filezilla:
filezilla: error while loading shared libraries: libnettle.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I forced a filezilla re-install and still not working.

You're trying to install the wrong version of filezilla intedned for an older version of CentOS. El9 ships libnettle.so.8 to 6.

The filezilla package is in EPEL, so yum install epel-release then yum install filezilla

[craig88]

I reinstalled epel-release then ran
yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="epel" reinstall filezilla
but still get the error

[TrevorH]

RHEL 9 and Rocky 9 both ship libnettle.so.8 so the only explanation I can think of is that you have installed the wrong version of the epel-release package and are picking up a filezilla intended for an older version. If you run rpm -q epel-release if you see epel-release-8 or 7 then you have the wrong epel installed. Remove it and reinstall it - the correct copy is already in the extras repo.

[craig88]

It says: epel-release-9-4.el9.noarch
Does Filezilla install libnettle or just expects it to be there - maybe some other package installed the wrong libnettle?

Can you show output of:

Code: Select all

which filezilla
dnf list filezilla epel-release
dnf rq --requires filezilla | grep libnettle
dnf provides */libnettle.so\*
