I'm having trouble getting postgresql to install on
a fresh woody installation. Postrgresql installed for me with no problem on
another machine back in September, but this time it's not cooperating. Here's
what happens:
root@host# apt-get -t unstable install
postgresql
Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... 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. Since you only requested a single operation it is
extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet
dependencies:
postgresql: Depends: libkrb5-17-heimdal (>= 0.4e-23) but it is not going to be installed Depends: postgresql-client but it is not going to be installed Depends: libpq3 (>= 7.3.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages Note that the packages listed are available, so I
don't see why apt-get doesn't just list them as dependencies to be
installed.
root@lab2:/etc/apt# feta available
libpq3
Package Available Installed ================================================================================ libpq3 7.3.1-5 root@lab2:/etc/apt# feta available libkrb5-17-heimdal Package Available Installed ================================================================================ libkrb5-17-heimdal 0.4e-23 root@lab2:/etc/apt# feta available postgresql-client Package Available Installed ================================================================================ I found a bug report similar to this issue at the
following link, but the comment made by the package maintainer in resolving the
bug indicates that the problem is with the user's failure to resolve the
dependency him/herself (see below). But it's not clear to me how to resolve the
dependency, or why apt-get doesn't do it automatically as usual. So I'm asking
here to see what should be done.
Thanks,
