Checking the installed RPM files installed on the Automation VA shows non-standard packages. In this case the nmap-ncat package:

1. SSH to appliance
2. yum list installed | grep nmap

Environment

Aria Automation 8.x

Cause

Non-standard packages like nmap cause dependency clashes at upgrade time, as installed libraries change.

Resolution

1. Find this package:
   yum list installed | grep PATTERN

2. Remove the package:
   yum remove nmap 
   or
   yum remove pkgname-from-search
