Now, upon attempting to force reinstall packages using admintools, get this error:
[[email protected] packages]$ admintools -t install_package -d DATABASE -p PASSWORD --package all --force-reinstall
Usage: install_package [options]
install_package: error: no such option: --force-reinstall
[[email protected] packages]$
I was referring to documentation here:
https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.2.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/InstallationGuide/InstallingVertica/UpgradingandReinstallingPackages.htm
Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling a particular package 'approximate' but get an error as below:
[[email protected] packages]$ admintools -t uninstall_package -d DATABASE -p PASSWORD --package approximate
WARNING: Current version of package approximate is not installed, attempting to uninstall it anyways
Uninstalling package approximate
...Success!
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[[email protected] packages]$ admintools -t install_package -d PASSWORD -p PASSWORD --package approximate
Installing package approximate...
Failed to install package approximate
[[email protected] packages]$
This machine has an active internet connection. Am I missing something?

Hi,
Can you verify which version of Vertica you are using? The "--force-reinstall" option was introduced in Vertica 7.2.2.
See:
https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.2.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/NewFeatures/7.2/7.2.2/usingadmintoolsForceReinstallOption.htm
As far as the "Failed to install package approximate" error, can you take a peak at the /opt/vertica/log/adminTools.log file? There should be an indication of what went wrong in there!
