Hey Darren, Thanks for your reply. I have rebuilt my server to a patched RedHat 9.5 VM, created an repo for Kea, which includes the 2.6.2 RPM's for isc-kea-common, isc-kea-ctrl-agent, isc-kea-dhcp4, isc-kea-doc, and isc-kea-hooks.
When running the install I am getting told that "nothing provides" libboost_system.so.1.66.0 and liblog4cplus-1.2.so.5. I get this error for all four of the app RPM's I am trying to install. In a short search I was able to install libboost_system via the boost-system RPM, which is 1.75.0-8.el9. When retrying the install I am getting the same error. Are you specific to the 1.66 so library? Or am I still missing something?
