Hi,
I want to install samba. But some of the packages that it depends on need perlapi-5.8.7 to be installed which is a virtual package. But I can't install perlapi-5.8.7 . How can i solve this?

It sounds like you've been playing around with mixed sources. Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list file here?

Also, is this box an LDAP server for your network? Samba itself I don't think depends on perlapi...

I want to run a samba server in this machine.
I am not sure what happenned before because the administrator was another person. But I found /etc/apt/sources.list mixed with stable and etch entries. Now it is all etch.

/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free

# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib

Certainly someone was playing around with mixed sources...

I would say that if you don't need LDAP, I'd try letting it do it's thing.

Or try installing samba without recommended packages, aptitude install --without-recommends samba.

So is it time to do the update/upgrade dance before going back to your "real" problem?

Is this a production machine? If not, I'd be tempted to let it try the solution (removing 4 packages and then downgrading 2 others). Or first try aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade.

The first package libldap (btw, version 2.4-2 is in lenny, not Etch, so your buddy must have also installed some of this stuff from testing) has to do with directory services, the 2nd is a PostgresSQL library, the 3rd has to do with samba and will probably get replaced anyway, the 4th allows direct interaction from PHP scripts to Postgres, gnupg is key signing (encryption), and libaprutil1 is the apache portable runtime utility library.

So if any of those look important to your machine, you may try handling them one by one. Otherwise, I'd just go for it (but again, I'm not responsible for anything more than my home network)...

brgsousa · 11-13-2008, 03:09 PM

Lots and lots of packages were from lenny. This was causing lots of dependencies problems. So i changed /etc/apt/sources;list for lenny. Now everythnig is fine.
Thanks for the help
