I am having a few problems. I just purchased a 2.0ghz Cpanel box the other day and am trying to upgrade everything to latest version. Anyway I was using apt-get. First I did this:

# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
exim: Depends: libcrypto.so.0 but it is not installable
Depends: libssl.so.0 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
exim fetchmail mutt redhat-lsb squirrelmail
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 removed and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 12.5MB disk space will be freed.

So now after doing this and upgrading everyting it appears it has removed some things that are needed as it said:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
exim fetchmail mutt redhat-lsb squirrelmail

Why did it remove exim? How do I get that back? Why is it not included in the package list to begin with so that it would be installed?

Can someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong, or if exim is supposed to be gone now? Thanks.

I don't think you want to be using apt-get with cpanel. The offical message is vague at best but you should be using up2date.

No that is incorrect. The latest servers do not work with up2date do to an abuse problem with the RHN network which will produce something like this error when ran:

This error is triggered when your system makes too many connections to Red Hat Network. This error can not be triggered under a normal use of the Red Hat Network service as configured by default on Red Hat Linux. The Red Hat Network services for this system will remain disabled until you will reduce the RHN network traffic from your system to acceptable limits. Please log into RHN and visit https://rhn.redhat.com/help/contact.pxt to contact technical support if you think you have received this message in error.

Please read this post which tells the Cpanel Redhat Enterprise customers to use the apt-get:

Anyway I did what is described on that post and this is where I had the problems as I described in my first post.

I'm fairly certain that since that was posted there has been a solution posted as well -- I thought I've read posts from people successfully using up2date on RHE here.

Anyway, the few things listed it is removing you most likely do NOT want to run apt-get or up2date's RPM version of, anyway, so it's safe to ignore. RHE runs older software with backported fixes, which won't necessarily work the best with cpanel.
