Kolab 16 on Ubuntu 16 - installation quirks
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

The documentation says to use aptitude -y install kolab while aptitude is not installed by default on a clean Ubuntu system. So, the doc should ask for checking this or just propose to install aptitude with apt-get install aptitude.

Instead, I tried to install kolab with apt-get install kolab but it failed with dependency issue on kolab-webadmin.

When using aptitude way it works. It may make sense to note in documentation that when installing postfix it asks some questions. Leaving default choices should be ok.

Sorry, I was too fast. It installed only postfix and stopped. It also fails on kolab-webadmin.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kolab-webadmin : Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package.

                  Depends: php5 which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package.

                  Depends: php5-mysql which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package.

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     kolab [Not Installed]                              
2)     kolab-webadmin [Not Installed]

So, is it supposed to work at all?

apt-get install kolab works with Winterfell repository. I think it is misleading to have instructions for Kolab 16 at https://docs.kolab.org/installation-guide/index.html. So, we should fix the packages or remove that part of documentation.
