Custom Software Source Creation Fails

Creating a custom or version custom software source might fail if you include packages that aren't in the base vendor software sources used to create the custom source.

Review job error logs

To identify the reason for the custom software source failure, review the error logs for the job.

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Observability & Management. Under OS Management Hub, click Jobs.
  2. Under List scope, select the compartment associated with the job.
  3. Click the Completed jobs tab.
  4. Under Filters, select the following:
    • Status: Failed
    • Type: Create software source or Update software source
  5. Click the name of the job.
  6. Under Resources, click Error messages.

Unsupported packages included

Some packages don't exist in any of the vendor software sources and can't be included in a custom software source. Don't include any of the following packages in a custom software source:

  • gpg-pubkey
  • unified-monitoring-agent
  • wlp-agent

Missing vendor software sources

The custom software source must contain all vendor software sources needed for the packages that you include. Verify that you've selected all necessary vendor software sources when creating the custom or version software source.

If you're unsure which vendor software source a package requires, you can search for the package and identify the software source.
