            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

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.
