.deb dependency problem (zabbix-agent)
Hi all,
I installed the zabbix agent (zabbix.com) on my VPS = Debian 6 with $ apt-get install zabbix-agent but this does not work on my other VPS = Debian 7 as mentioned here:
Quote:
...we all decided to remove Zabbix from "wheezy" but keep uploading new versions to the "testing" branch.
|
So I got the .deb file from here:
Code:
$:/tmp# ls
zabbix-agent_2.2.0+dfsg-6_amd64.deb
$:/tmp# dpkg -i zabbix-agent_2.2.0+dfsg-6_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package zabbix-agent.
(Reading database ... 55048 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking zabbix-agent (from zabbix-agent_2.2.0+dfsg-6_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of zabbix-agent:
zabbix-agent depends on libc6 (>= 2.17); however:
Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.13-38.
dpkg: error processing zabbix-agent (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
zabbix-agent
$
So this seems to tell me that my installed package of libc6 (2.13-38) is out of date and needs to be updated but when I try to update it I get "libc6 is already the newest" =
Code:

libc6 is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zabbix-agent : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17) but 2.13-38 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
$ apt-get -f install
