E: The package hp-health needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

in dpkg -l it is listed as
pFR hp-health 8.2.5.47-11

So I seem not to be able to get the debian repository inline. Problem is I cannot install anything anymore.

Re: hp-health package broken

ok, I just move all hp-health.* out of the /var/lib/dpkg directory.

now at least apt-get works again.

Is there an ftp repository of the hp lenny packages that can be added to the sources.list?

Re: hp-health package broken

better late than never, I got hp-repo work with debian squeeze like this:

 

apt-get update

apt-get install gawk

vi /etc/apt/sources.list - add following line:

deb http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/ natty current/non-free

 

save and run update:

 

apt-get update

 

apt-get install <package here>

 

cpqacuxe
hp-health
hpsmh
hp-smh-templates
hp-snmp-agents
hpacucli
hponcfg

 

It was missing gawk, for some strange reason it started to work after installing it.

Re: hp-health package broken

Hi All,

 

I know this is kind of an old thread but I'm encoutering a similar issue today on wheezy on a DL140 G2 server.

 

Wanting to solve a system issue which has nothing to do with HP tools I decided to install hponcfg so as to configure ilo.

I didn't do my due diligence on the tools (http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/project/mcp/) but it turns out that hponcfg and hp-health wont install on a DL140 G2 wheezy box and have the side effect of breaking the package manager in the same way the gawk install described above did.

 

I have followed the instructions found here http://www.m1au.com/fixing-broken-hp-health-on-ubuntu-10-04/ and have also remove the init scripts but feel this might just not have cleaned everything.

 

Any suggestions? txs in advance..
