How to ensure all EasyApache 4 packages are installed from the same repository on RHEL based systems

Introduction

After installing or removing an EasyApache 4 repository, such as CloudLinux or Imunify360, it may be necessary to replace the packages from the old repository with the packages provided by the current repository. EasyApache 4 packages installed from more than one EasyApache 4 repository or having multiple EasyApache 4 repositories enabled will eventually lead to package dependency issues.

Procedure

1. Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
2. Disable the repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/ that you do not intend to use.
   Please note that you can disable a repository by changing the enabled=1 line to enabled=0.
3. Use the distro-sync option of yum/dnf to replace the packages from the disabled repos with packages from the enabled repos.
   • CentOS 7 CloudLinux 6/7

     yum distro-sync ea-*

   • CloudLinux 8/9, AlmaLinux 8/9, Rocky Linux 8/9

     dnf distro-sync ea-*

4. Review the output to ensure the packages will be uninstalled from the incorrect repos and installed from the correct repo.
5. Enter "y" to proceed if everything looks correct.
