cloudmin installation error: bind9utils on ubuntu 8.04 not available

Submitted by wessel on Sun, 01/24/2010 - 03:07

cloudmin does not want to install on my 8.04 ubuntu amd64 release (with the downloaded debian/ubuntu installer script from my account page)

It gives a dependency problem on bind9utils which is not a package in hardy.

"Package bind9utils is not available, but is referred to by another package."

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

What is in your /etc/apt/sources.list file? It sounds like it may be missing a few entries, since bind9utils is a core package.

Are you sure it's core in hardy?

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bind9utils&searchon=names&sec...

does not mention hardy

This is my apt source list (the ^deb lines)

Hmm, I was wrong .. that package really doesn't exist on Ubuntu 8.04.

Try editing the cloudmin-debian-install.sh and removing bind9utils from line 141.

I will make the same change to the install script available for download..

Did that, and arrived at the next error, managed to fix that myself. But fyi:

The installer script does a

apt-key add /tmp/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin /tmp/RPM-GPG-KEY-webmin

put apt-key does not accept multiple keys (at lease my one doesn't (8.04)) so only the first one is added.

This leads to the following warnings:

and the following fatal installation error:

I did the import manually:

apt-key add /tmp/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin
apt-key add /tmp/RPM-GPG-KEY-webmin

and ran the installer again, now the installation succeeded!

Jeuh, on to importing my openvz servers.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks - I will fix the installer to handle this case too.
