Hey All,
I've run into a problem recently with Virtualmin GPL with regards to failed dependency. Everything was working dandy until the other day I went to add phpt5-gd support. Here is the error bellow.
root@mm20-TEMP:/home/******# apt-get install php5-gd Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: apache2-mpm-prefork: Depends: apache2.2-common (= 2.2.8-12vm.ubuntu0.14) but.2.8-10vm is to be installed php5-gd: Depends: libt1-5 but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify aolution). root@mm20-TEMP:/home/******#
So when I run the apt-get -f install I'm still given an error

I'm not really sure how to go about correcting this with out breaking the system. I've had to create a clone from our production to test. We have also purchased Pro but I'm holding off on inputting the keys until I can get this error fixed. This is also preventing us from doing anything with apt.
Any ideas?

Hrm, do you require the apache2-doc package?
If not, I'd suggest removing that, then trying to install apache2.2-common again.
It sounds like there's something conflicting about those two.

Hi Eric,
No, I don't need the doc package. So I removed it still ran into the same issue. I did a little more digging and what got my attention this time was the line:
trying to overwrite `/var/www', which is also in package apache2-doc dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing:
So I went and checked /var/www...we don't use /var for any website content so I never thought to check, but for some reason /var/www/ was symlinked to /hosted..../hosted didn't exist. So I created the dir re-ran apt and all was well again. I don't know why I didn't notice this until now...but oh well
I now have apt back and working the way it should and the php5-gd libs installed.
