Kopano-server-packages on new empty Ubuntu 18.04 not installing

ldb1619

Pulling my hair out to try to get supported final version of kopano installed on a new Ubuntu 18.04 machine.

First there seems to be a kopano version available in the universe repo, which is standard in the sources.list file in Ubuntu 18.04.
Uncommenting resolved that.
But after putting in a kopano.list i get:

root@kopano-test:~# apt-get install kopano-server-packages
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

 kopano-server-packages : Depends: kopano-search (= 8.6.7.0-0+16.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
root@kopano-test:~#

I also tried to download a tar with all the deb-files, but there I see different versions of the same program:

-rw-r--r-- 1 25122 users    12376 Aug 14 14:40 kopano-server-packages_8.6.7.0-0+16.1_all.deb

Seems to me that that is not intentional, or is it??

How to proceed?

@ldb1619 what is the output if you run apt install kopano-search?

Could having me uncomment the universe repos of Ubuntu 18.04 be of importance?

Maybe yes, xapian-tools and catdoc both seem to be in universe.

How to solve?

Just reenable the universe repos. You probably did a apt install kopano which the package manager tried to fulfil with the Ubuntu packages, instead you should have done apt install kopano-server-packages.

Since our packages generally have higher versions there should be no problem in having universe enabled anyways.

Must have been the weekend…
In the meantime I installed, had to set root pw on mysql (this way:

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-root-mysql-password-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
).
First start of kopano says no database kopano present, but looking into mysql it was there, restarting kopano-server seems to be ok now.

Going further configuring, thanks so far.

yes, in the default logging the server only logs that he could not find the database, with a higher logging you would have seen that he then proceeds to create the database and tables.

Hai, try the following.

apt-cache policy kopano-server kopano-search

And post the outpot.

if you use a local repo ( file repo ) ,
try this :

deb [trusted=yes]   …

but lets start with the policy info.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xapian-tools
Ok, i can explain the problem here is.

The Ubuntu packages (same for the Debian packages) have some other packages then the kopona repo ( and community packages ).
Due to the differences here you have this.

You might need to set a preferences file also for the kopano packages and give the version you preffered a higher pinning.

That is a good example.
