python3-nftables error when updating

For weeks now I've been getting the same error when cPanel updates. Here is the relevant log info:

[2024-01-02 21:53:14 -0600] [/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/update-packages] Error:

I checked my /etc/yum.conf and it does not look like python3-nftables is configured to be excluded.

exclude=bind-chroot dovecot* exim* filesystem p0f php* proftpd* pure-ftpd*

I also hadn't changed any exclude configurations when suddenly this error started happening.

Hey there! Can you let me know the operating system you're using? Once I know that I can do some additional testing on my end.

I'm not 100% sure this is the answer you're looking for, but I'm using cPanel with almalinux 8.

Thanks for the additional details. If you check the /etc/yum.conf file you'll likely find that the package is listed in the exclude line. If not, it may be in the repo directly, which you can check with this command:

grep exclude /etc/yum.repos.d/*

Remove the package from either exclude area you find and that should resolve the issue.

It took me a bit to figure out how to do this, but for whatever reason nftables was indeed excluded in the repo directory, and I think I was able to remove that. The error has stopped reporting anyway. So thank you for the help!

I'm glad that's all it was!
