Problems with installation of FRED, including unmet dependencies

by ZISPA DNS Admin

Hi We manage the .co.zw 2LD registry for Zimbabwe and are interested in migrating to use the FRED registry management system. We first installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) from scratch, with basic utilities + sshd server package only, and then followed the instructions for installation of FRED binaries at: https://fred.nic.cz/documentation/html/AdminManual/Installation/BinsUbuntu.… The first problem we found was with this command: # sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net:80 --recv-keys 0x1C0200016A9AC5C6 The above keyserver has closed down so the site could not be found. We then used keyserver.ubuntu.com instead, ie: # sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0x1C0200016A9AC5C6 That was successful, with response: gpg: key 6A9AC5C6: public key "CZ.NIC Release Automatic Signing Key <archive-sign-key(a)nic.cz>" imported We then continued with the instructions until the following command: # sudo apt-get update The response was: GPG error: http://archive.nic.cz/ubuntu xenial Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E6DD3CAC7844804C W: The repository 'http://archive.nic.cz/ubuntu xenial Release' is not signed. We therefore requested the missing key (not in original notes): # apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E6DD3CAC7844804C That was successful, with response: gpg: requesting key 7844804C from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: key C11F5931: public key "CZ.NIC Release Automatic Signing Key <archive-sign-key(a)nic.cz>" imported We continued with the instructions until we came to installing the FRED package itself: # sudo apt-get --assume-yes install fred The response was: The following packages have unmet dependencies: fred : Depends: fred-pyfred but it is not going to be installed Depends: fred-rsifd but it is not going to be installed Depends: nagios-pyfred-genzone-plugin but it is not going to be installed Depends: pyfred-filemanager but it is not going to be installed Depends: pyfred-genzone but it is not going to be installed Depends: python-pyfred but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. We then tried with aptitude instead, ie: # sudo aptitude install fred The failed response was: The following packages have unmet dependencies: python-pyfred : Depends: python-pygresql (>= 1:5.0) but it is not going to be installed. bind9-host : Depends: libbind9-140 (= 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-8ubuntu1.16) but 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-8ubuntu1.19 is to be installed.

However aptitude could not fix the problem. We removed the bind9-host and dnsutils packages, then ran "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade", then reinstalled them and tried the aptitude install again. This time it just reported: The following packages have unmet dependencies: python-pyfred : Depends: python-pygresql (>= 1:5.0) but it is not going to be installed. fred-pyfred : Depends: python-pygresql (>= 1:5.0) but it is not going to be installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) fred [Not Installed] 2) fred-pyfred [Not Installed] 3) fred-rsifd [Not Installed] 4) nagios-pyfred-genzone-plugin [Not Installed] 5) pyfred-filemanager [Not Installed] 6) pyfred-genzone [Not Installed] 7) python-pyfred [Not Installed] Leave the following dependencies unresolved: 8) pyfred-filemanager recommends fred-pyfred 9) pyfred-genzone recommends fred-pyfred Accept this solution?

Re: Request for information on use of FRED for registry management

I do remember Rob very well in the fidonet days and I have heard of you but I cannot put a face to your name, all the same good to hear from you. It is good to hear the apparently good story of your running .co.zw that you tell here below. We at Malawi .mw used to do what you are doing manually with the registry over six years ago before we fully automated to FRED, It was a growing mamoth task to do like this manually. You just have to automate better. Here below are my suggestions. I have seen your posts on FRED installation on Ubunthu. At .mw we did not choose Ubuntu, we started with fedora and now use CentOs as our FRED platform, we find it much more stable and we have gained considerable experience on this. I expect that if you move to CentOs 8 then you will find installing FRED much smoother and I can help better. I got considerable assistance from Jaromir of .cz as copied above, its possible that you can do the same if you send him mail personally rather that through the mailing list. In many cases in the past, I have received assistance from the fred-users mailing list BUT I am not sure why you have not received any assistnce either from .cz ccTLD or from FRED developers on the mailing list. I would also recommend you to attend an ICANN meeting where you can interact more interactively with other FRED users and FRED developers so as to get on the spot answers to your issues. ICANN76 is the next one in March 2023. You can then check to see who at .cz or on fred-users list will be there and arrange a meeting. I am also copying this to Jan Horak who runs one of our registrars on .mw, you may also find it useful to get in touch with him regarding FRED and registrars. We find FRED to be very good at .mw but it is a large well organised platform and where you are now is very much at the beginning, there will be many more issues for you to deal with as you make it operational. Using the mailing list alone may not work in full. If you can get past the installation phase such as on Centos8 then the documentation now available on FRED might get you through the rest. Let me know if this helps.

how to list domains about to expire on FRED - pending delete ?

by Dr Paulos Nyirenda

We at .mw domains have recently received a few inquiries on whethere we could list all domains that are about to expire. This is coming from registrars and potential registrants. We see that .cz does offer a service like this, for example at: https://www.expireddomains.net/tld/cz/ showing domains pending delete. How can we list all domains at the registry pending delete across all registrars ? How can we do the same for all domains pending expiry ? Thank you in advance for your help.
