https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24748 Bug ID: 24748 Summary: Workaround to enable installation of 19.11 on Debian 9 is missing from install docs Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 19.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P5 - low Component: Documentation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: dwight.tuinstra@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org This bug relates to these installation documents: - https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Preparing_your_system - https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian Since installation on Debian 10 is currently discouraged, I attempted a koha install on a fresh instance of Debian 9, 64-bit (i686) architecture. The problem occurs at the "Install Koha" step (https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Install_Koha). The command "apt-get install koha-common" fails with the following error message: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: koha-common : Depends: libnet-oauth2-authorizationserver-perl but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. This is a known problem, mentioned in bug 23128 (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23128). The workaround that is suggested there is to enable Debian 9 backports, as follows: 1) Create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stretch-backports.list with this line: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main 2) Run apt-get update Running "apt-get install koha-common" will then work. This workaround should be incorporated into the "Koha on Debian" document. Without it, installation fails. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
