ea-modsec30 package conflicts ea-apache24-mod_security2

Issue

yum (dnf) shows the errors below during the update process:

--> Processing Dependency: ea-modsec30 for package: 3:ea-nginx-1.23.3-7.el7.cloudlinux.x86_64
[...]
Error: ea-apache24-mod_security2 conflicts with 1:ea-modsec30-3.0.8-1.el7.cloudlinux.1.x86_64
Error: ea-modsec30 conflicts with 2:ea-apache24-mod_security2-2.9.7-1.el7.cloudlinux.x86_64

Environment

• CloudLinux OS 7/8
• cPanel
• ea-nginx < 1.23.4-1

Solution

1. Update ea-nginx to 1.23.4-1 or higher
2. If still required, remove ea-apache24-mod_security2 

yum remove ea-apache24-mod_security2

Cause

The new ea-nginx version requires ea-modsec30 a package which conflicts ea-apache24-mod_security2 that's installed on the server. It's inherited from the cPanel's package dependencies.
