Get "elasticesearch conflicts with elasticsearch-oss-0:6.6.1-1.noarch" during upgrade

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Dears, I am new to ELK and just take over from another colleague.

I need to upgrade current Elasticsearch 6.2.3 to 6.6.1, and because of license limitation, have to use the opensource version. As the guide https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/rpm.html, I stopped the service, and then run rpm command to install, but got errors:
[root@vagrant-elk-6 tmp]# rpm --install elasticsearch-oss-6.6.1.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
** elasticsearch conflicts with elasticsearch-oss-0:6.6.1-1.noarch**

I did some google search but can not find any clue, could you please help throw me some light? Thanks a lot!

The current installed Elasticsearch:
[root@vagrant-elk-6 tmp]# curl -X GET "localhost:9200"
{
"name" : "A88CHvn",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"cluster_uuid" : "YHA62fqkQiCd4g2IV32_OQ",
"version" : {
"number" : "6.2.4",
"build_hash" : "ccec39f",
"build_date" : "2018-04-12T20:37:28.497551Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "7.2.1",
"minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0",
"minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Java installed:
[root@vagrant-elk-6 tmp]# java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_191"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_191-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.191-b12, mixed mode)

Which limitation is that?

What does rpm -qi|grep -i elasticsearch show?

You will likely need to remove that existing package and then install the one you want.

I had tried to run rpm -U to upgrade, resulted with same error.

To remove existing package with rpm -e, are the existing data and configuration files still there? need to keep the data and config, but upgrade the Elasticsearch version only....

thanks!

I think that is the way it works, it will only remove the config and data if you use the purge option.

But I would check the documentation for rpm to be sure.

@warkolm, Thanks very much for your kind and quick help!
I did rpm -e, and then rpm -i, it seems working. I can still see the data in Kibana.
One thing is that it will delete /etc/elasticsearch and keep a copy of elasticsearch.yml.rpmsave, but jvm.options and log4j2.properties are deleted, probably because I did not change them.

Thanks again!
