Zabbix packages dropped from Noble at last minute

Asked by Reed

Zabbix packages were in noble-proposed and noble release from 2023-11-25, up until 2024-04-14 when they were removed, and now appears that it will be completely excluded from the release, which seems awfully arbitrary and user unfriendly for an LTS release.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zabbix/+publishinghistory

Guessing theres no chance that it gets added back at this point?

Ubuntu package search shows 3 packages in the Universe repository.

Unfortunately, the packages in that search are not packages *of* zabbix, but rather external libraries *for* zabbix.
You can see the full list of packages in question here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zabbix

You can also see the packages from that source for focal, jammy, mantic, and oracular here, substituting the appropriate dist: https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/oracular/zabbix

But not noble: https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/noble/zabbix

I understand that the zabbix source packages are in the universe component, but just like with all previous LTS releases, and interim releases, the packages exist. They may not get maintained outside of ESM, but they exist. But for this LTS release, they do not exist.

At the time when Ubuntu noble wash published, there way no version of zabbix that correctly worked on noble (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1064715 )

Meanwhile there is a new version in preparation for Ubuntu 24.10 oracular.

It may be possible to manually install the zabbix packages for oracular on noble.
Another option is creating a PPA.

Can you help with this problem?
