Package conflict errors with ea-nginx on CloudLinux

Generally, in Cloudlinux servers with ea-nginx, yum or cPanel updates tend to fail with the error:

# yum update

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, universal-hooks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* cpanel-addons-production-feed: 184.94.196.93
* cpanel-plugins: 184.94.196.93

Error: ea-modsec30 conflicts with 2:ea-apache24-mod_security2-2.9.3-4.el7.cloudlinux.x86_64
Error: ea-apache24-mod_security2 conflicts with 1:ea-modsec30-3.0.4-6.el7.cloudlinux.x86_64

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem.

In addition, the installation of ea-nginx on a server with ModSecurity2 packages fails with the same error.

On Cloudlinux servers since we already have packages for ModSecurity2, trying to install ea-nginx or run a yum update/cPanel update fails.

Because, as a part of ea-nginx dependencies, some of the ModSecurity3 packages will also attempt to install.

This causes a conflict between the packages belonging to ModSecuirty2 and Modsecurity3, which in turn causes yum and UPCP to fail.

To confirm that ea-modsec30* packages are being pulled because they are among the dependencies of ea-nginx, we run the following command:

# repoquery -R —resolve —recursive ea-nginx | grep -Ei sec

ea-modsec30
ea-modsec30-connector-nginx

 

Solution

CloudLinux has come up with a patch to this issue that is currently in beta testing:

To fix systems that experience this error currently, we update EA packages to the beta branch:

# yum update ea-* –enablerepo=cl-ea4-testing

To install ea-nginx on affected systems using the beta repository, we install it:
