upgraded.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>But on same environment, I can download Nagios3’s
source code , compile and run without problem. To keep our production server
stable, we normally prefer to avoid upgrading too many packages. So can you
explain why we need upgrade so many packages for Nagios3.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
