Hey guys,

I'm having trouble updating SPlunk from version 8.1.0 to version 8.2. When running the command "rpm -i --replacepkgs splunk-8.2.2.1-ae6821b7c64b-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm", it displays several alerts as below: How

this alert occurs for several files.

file /opt/splunk/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/pcss/version-5-and-earlier/admin_lite.pcss from install of splunk-8.2.2.1-ae6821b7c64b.x86_64 conflicts with file from package splunk-8.1.0.1-24fd52428b5a.x86_64

should I go about resolving the problem?

IMO, the best way to upgrade is to download the tarball for the new version and expand it into /Opt.

If you need to use rpm then specify the -U option.
