Thanks for the suggestion, Davide. However, I had tried that script before (used the one for CentOS, as that OS is pretty close to RHEL), and I get the following errors. (I tried it again just now, same result):
First, SHA1 checksums don’t work on this RHEL 9 server, as they don’t with many modern OSes, as they’ve been deemed insecure. So, I get: warning: Signature not supported. Hash algorithm SHA1 not available. error: /tmp/Bacula-4096-Distribution-Verification-key.asc: key 1 import failed. As a work around, I downloaded the .asc file to my local Windows machine, which can still do SHA1, and used the resulting hash in the URL in the script, commenting out the hash creation parts. After doing that and running the script again, I get: Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'Bacula-Community': - Status code: 404 for https://www.bacula.org/packages/bf417a80d9108b58a8a3fc8b78110f9f5b181ae1/rpms/11.0.5/el7/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 94.103.98.87) Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'Bacula-Community': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried As you can see, the url looks correct, but the needed xml file doesn’t seem to be hosted anywhere anymore, as no mirrors had it. Is there another way to get that file? Thanks.

Hi, Just thinking loud … If Bacula rpm package installation guide is not accurate or has issues, can we do a PR or send a patch to developers ?

I have a RHEL 9 server which came with Bacula Community 11.0.1, but I was having so much trouble getting it working, I decided to try to update it. Trying a yum upgrade didn’t work, so I (foolishly) uninstalled it, removing the repo, thinking it should be no problem to download v13 or v15 repo and install from that. I’ve followed instructions from the https://www.bacula.org/whitepapers/CommunityInstallationGuide.pdf, however, it’s not working, I get: Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'Bacula-Community': Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'Bacula-Community': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried I’ve also tried installing manually by downloading and unpacking bacula-15.0.2.tar.gz, then using ./configure and make, etc, but that was a real nightmare, one problem after another to work out, and never could get it working. Is there any way to get the repo for Bacula and install it like any other program with a good ol’ “yum install” command?
