[campcaster-support] ubuntu install issues - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Hi,

I am having problems installing campcaster. I first installed Ubuntu
8.10 and had problems and when I was unable to resolve them it seemed
that it might be better to use 8.04 since the LTS is (I think)
intended to be the base for Campcaster. So I reformatted the HD and
downloaded and installed 8.04. Then I used the wiki cheat sheet at:

http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/wiki/CheatSheet

to open the repository and tried to install. The result is:

cism@cisk-campcaster:~$ sudo apt-get install campcaster-libs
campcaster-station campcaster-studio
[sudo] password for cism:
Reading package lists... Done

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 resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
campcaster-station: Depends: libboost-date-time1.33.1 but it is not
installable
Depends: libicu34 but it is not installable
Depends: libicu34 but it is not installable or
libicu36 but it is not installable
campcaster-studio: Depends: libboost-date-time1.33.1 but it is not
installable
Depends: libicu34 but it is not installable
Depends: libicu34 but it is not installable or
libicu36 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
cism@cisk-campcaster:~$

So now I am back in the position of not knowing how to complete the
install. Campcaster seems as if it would be the perfect solution for
our community radio station, but only if I can actually get it up and
running. Does anyone have ideas about where to go from here?

My guess is you added
deb http://code.campware.org/ubuntu dapper main
to your software sources. Since you are using Ubuntu 8.04 "hardy",
you need to add this instead:
deb http://code.campware.org/ubuntu hardy main

I have updated the Cheat Sheet to make it clearer.

Thanks very much, I'll try that.

Well, I have tried it and there are no apparent dependency errors and the
packages download. I then get a text-graphics box telling me that there is a
postgresQL issue, apparently related to a conflict between the required
version (8.3) and an installed version (8.2). I've looked and there is
apparently no postgres installed on this machine.

When I try to do any update for any package I get an error from the package
manager saying I need to manually run "dpkg --configure -a" I've done that
and it takes me into the postgresQL version conflict text box.

Is this a known issue? or do you have another suggestion?

Dave

I haven't seen this problem before, so I can only give generic advice.

To get your system back to a good state -- go through with the
configure tool [accept default settings], then remove Campcaster (sudo
apt-get remove campcaster-libs campcaster-station campcaster-studio),
remove all packages installed as dependencies for Campcaster (sudo
apt-get autoremove), remove postgresql-8.2 [are you sure it is not
installed? how did you check? what does "dpkg --list postgres\*"
say?], and make sure "dpkg --audit" and "sudo apt-get -f install" do
not show any problems.

After this, if everything looks good, you can try installing Campcaster again.

I hope this helps,

Ferenc

As it happens, the generic advice was perfect. I seem to have interrupted the
first install on this machine which left the install half completed. The
dpkg --audit command, when pursued, allowed me to get all the way through and
now localhost/campcaster takes me to a login screen. Thank you so much. If
ever you are in Canada you absolutely have a claim on a free beer (or even
several!) from me.

A lot of the difficulty was that my experience in Linux has been mostly in
Fedora (for my workstation) and Centos (for servers) and so I have little
experience using dpkg.
