Hi, Scott!
By any chance, are you installing el8 packages on el9?
I can see in Cloudsmith that the el9 isc-kea-common 2.6.2 package
depends on libboost_system.so.1.75.0.

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?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
I suggest you have a look at using the ISC Cloudsmith repository for
install with "yum" or "dnf".
- See here:
https://cloudsmith.io/~isc/repos/kea-2-6/setup/#formats-rpm
- and here: https://kb.isc.org/docs/isc-kea-packages
- Please note that it will be unlikely that you can "upgrade" from 2.4
and will rather require a fresh install unless the source of 2.4 was
also Cloudsmith.
Having this repository installed will make it easy for you to update
to new point releases. Additionally, when upgrading beyond 2.6.2 (to
3.0.0, for example), it will be a simple matter of installing the new
repository and executing `dnf upgrade`.
As far as things to be aware of when upgrading from 2.4 to 2.6, there
are a few sources of information.
- Here:
https://kb.isc.org/docs/changes-to-be-aware-of-when-migrating-to-kea-2-6-0
- and here:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/wikis/Release-Notes/release-notes-2.6.0
- and 2.6.1:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/wikis/Release-Notes/release-notes-2.6.1
- and finally 2.6.2:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/wikis/Release-Notes/release-notes-2.6.2
As for your question about whether HA will function with one server on
2.4 and one on 2.6, the answer is: it might. 2.6 has a new failover
mode (hub and spoke) and some new messaging that is introduced. The
unknown messages will be ignored by the server that doesn't understand
them (2.4) but this could potentially cause some problems for the
server sending them (2.6). If the 2.6 server is your standby (in a
hot-standby relationship), and no failover events occur, you'll
probably be ok. It is best to not let this situation persist for
long.
Also note that if you are using database storage at all, Kea will
refuse to start if the database schema is not updated. See here:
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.1/arm/admin.html#upgrading-a-mysql-database-from-an-earlier-version-of-kea
(MySQL) or here:
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.1/arm/admin.html#upgrading-a-postgresql-database-from-an-earlier-version-of-kea
(PostgreSQL).
Thank you,
Darren Ankney
