3.17. Problem: Trying to upgrade Ambari Server on SLES produces error

In some cases attempting to upgrade hdp_mon_nagios_addons and hdp_mon_ganglia_addons as part of the Ambari Server upgrade on SLES produces the following error for Nagios. The Ganglia error is almost exactly the same, and the solution is the same:

Refreshing service 'susecloud'.
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
There is an update candidate for 'hdp_mon_nagios_addons', but it is from different vendor.
     Use 'zypper install hdp_mon_nagios_addons-1.2.3.6-1.noarch' to install this candidate.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.

The following workarounds should take care of the issue:

Problem: cannot install both hdp_mon_nagios_addons-1.2.2.5-1.noarch and 
     hdp_mon_nagios_addons-1.2.3.6-1.noarch
 Solution 1: install hdp_mon_nagios_addons-1.2.3.6-1.noarch (with vendor change)
