Important Upgrade and Installation Notice for 7.2.x
HP Vertica Users,
In our 7.2.0 release we added a new package dependency that we want to make sure you are fully aware of and doesn't slow down your install/upgrade process. Before installing or upgrading, please make sure that dialog is installed on all of your machines. dialog is required for interactivity with Administration Tools.
Use the following script to install the dialog package on each of your hosts:
#!/bin/bash
#HOST_LIST="192.0.2.0 192.0.2.1 192.0.2.2"
HOST_LIST="zz30 zz31 zz32 zz33"
for iHost in $HOST_LIST
do
echo "Installing on host $iHost"
ssh -tt $iHost "sudo yum install -y dialog "
#ssh -tt $iHost "sudo apt-get install -y dialog "
echo "Status = $?"
done
If you have any questions please let us know.
Thanks!

Hi Adrian_Oprea_1,
When I logged into the community edition download page I was able to download the 7.2.0 packages without any problems. Are you still not seeing the 7.2.0 packages on the community edition page?
Please let me know if this is still causing you issues.

Hello sKwa,
Thanks for your report about the package "quality standards". I'm intrested in learning more about how you conducted this evaluation, and in understanding the specific issues you've referenced. To start with, can you please tell me which files in the .deb package are associated with the problems you listed in your previous post?

Hi!
Im too pendantic, i just checked a package with lintian.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lintian
Lintian is a helper tool used in conjunction with dpkg, the Debian package management system. It checks Debian software packages for common inconsistencies and errors. As of Mar. 16th 2012, the latest version complies to Debian standards version 3.9.3.
As I wrote - not a big deal.
How about letting us know this new version will render existing backups obsolete? Also, that a new directory structure will be used?
