file /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf from install of fontconfig-2.5.93-7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package fontconfig-2.4.1-7.el5.i386

While installing Centreon on RHEL 5.8 server, this message was displayed :

file /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf from install of fontconfig-2.5.93-7.x86_64 conflicts w ith file from package fontconfig-2.4.1-7.el5.i386

On 64 bit-based system, yum may install 32 bit and 64 bit rpm packages for a given software. This is one of its features.  In that case, an upgrade was available for the fontconfig package in Centreon repositories. Their version was earlier than the one installed on the system. The 32 bit version of this rpm has been removed to solve the rpm dependency problem. Just issue the following command as root :

root@localhost:~# yum remove fontconfig-2.4.1-6.el5.i386

Then, type the following commands to install centreon :

root@localhost:~#yum clean all && yum update && yum install centreon

ERROR: Received noSuchName(2) error-status at error-index 1.

Sometimes, after restarting all the Centreon-related services (Mysqld, Centcore, Centstorage, ndo2db, Nagios, Apache), you may have a long listing of error messages in the UNKNOWN status such as :

ERROR: Received noSuchName(2) error-status at error-index 1.

ERROR: Received noSuchName(2) error-status at error-index 4.

It concerns all the information monitored through SNMP. One solution to wipe them out of your Centreon dashboard is to stop all the Centreon-related services. Then, delete all the files contained in /var/lib./centreon/centplugins/:

root@localhost:~# rm -rf /var/lib/centreon/centplugins/*

Then restart Centreon and everything should be nice again.
