Upgrade to cPanel v11.110.0.52 fails with "Sysup: Needed system packages were not installed: boost169-program-options"

Symptoms

When reviewing your nightly upgrade logs or trying to upgrade directly to cPanel v11.110.0.52 you may see the following error reported:

CONFIG_TEXT: Sysup: Needed system packages were not installed: boost169-program-options

Cause

With the release of cPanel v110.0.52, a change was made to have cPanel rely upon the upstream-provided boost libraries, and mark cpanel-boost* packages as obsolete. With this change, the above error can be seen if the package repository is not available for these packages.

Resolution

If you are seeing the above error, you can resolve this by making sure that the EPEL repository is installed and active:

# yum install epel-release
