I’m following the directions and running into an issue on the Centos 8 LEMP tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-centos-8
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
After running the following command (sudo dnf install php-fpm php-mysqlnd) I receive the error
Running transaction Preparing : 1/1 Installing : php-fpm-7.4.8-2.el8.remi.x86_64 1/1 Error unpacking rpm package php-fpm-7.4.8-2.el8.remi.x86_64 Verifying : php-fpm-7.4.8-2.el8.remi.x86_64 1/1

Hi @chipsterz,
Have you tried doing a System Upgrade beforehand? You can check for whether software updates are available with the following command:
sudo dnf check-update
You can do a minimal software update with the following command:
sudo dnf upgrade-minimal
After that check if the issue is still going to be experienced.

Hello,
Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. You were both correct.
Updating was important to fix the error.
Hello there,
In addition to what has already been mentioned, I wanted to point out that CentOS Linux 8 has reached End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021.
I would strongly recommend planning either migration to another OS like Debian or Ubuntu, or upgrading to CentOS Stream.
I personally believe that the safest way to do this is to follow these steps here:
- Spin up a new Droplet with the desired OS
- Install the necessary services (webserver, sql server, etc.)
- After that using
rsyncfor example copy over your files and migrate your databases - Then test your website and server fully to make sure that everything is working as expected
- Finally, change your DNS to point to the new Droplet
