Upgrade to v56 fails with cpanel-perl conflict

I can't resist. From the moment I saw the announcement to 522, I saw this coming, though I was hoping it wouldn't happen. I just tried to update a server:

So what's the recommended path to get this running now?

Hello :) Have you made any specific changes related to Perl on this system? Also, please post the output from the following command:
cat /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions
Thank you.

No, this has been a fresh installation a few weeks ago with no system changes.


# cat /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions

Could you open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look? You can post the ticket number here so we can update this thread with the outcome. Thank you.

Ok, I opened a support request with the ID 7528903.

To update, the issue was the result of duplicate RPMs installed on the system. The following command addressed the issue:
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/autorepair fix_duplicate_cpanel_rpms
You mentioned this in your earlier post:

Did you install cPanel from an image, or using the instructions from our documentation on a fresh installation of CentOS? Thank you.
