Problems with libsasl under Ubuntu 7.04

[tobbe]

Hello!

I have problems installing Scalix under Ubuntu 7.04.

Before installation of scalix I installed the following packages:

Code: Select all

aptitude install apache2 libapache2-mod-jk gawk krb5-config krb5-doc krb5-user libkadm55 libkrb53 libglib2.0-0 libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 libxml2 sgml-base xml-core postgresql libsasl2-modules libsasl2-gssapi-mit sendmail elinks w3m sun-java5-jre libssl0.9.7 libstdc++5 wget

Then I tried to install scalix

The error messages reads as follows:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i scalix-server_11.0.4.10790_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package scalix-server.
(Reading database ... 91850 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking scalix-server (from scalix-server_11.0.4.10790_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of scalix-server:

  Package libsasl2 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing scalix-server (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 scalix-server

I tried to verify the installation of my libsas:

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep libsasl
ii  libsasl2-2                       2.1.22.dfsg1-8ubuntu2                  Authentication abstraction library
ii  libsasl2-gssapi-mit              2.1.22.dfsg1-8ubuntu2                  Pluggable Authentication Modules for SASL (G
ii  libsasl2-modules                 2.1.22.dfsg1-8ubuntu2                  Pluggable Authentication Modules for SASL
ii  libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit      2.1.22.dfsg1-8ubuntu2                  Pluggable Authentication Modules for SASL (G

Seems to be allright for me.

Has anyone encountered this kind of problem?
Any hints for debugging?

Hi there,

same here, seems that Scalix-Server wants libsasl2 while Gutsy comes with libsasl2-2. And then there are other Packages that do want 2-2.

Is there a way to install Scalix with libsasl2-2 please?

Hi,

libsasl2 does not seem to exist any more within the recent debian derivates (and debian testing / unstable); it is replaced by libsasl2-2.

Quick and dirty solution:

Go to /var/lib/dpkg, open status and replace libsasl2 in the 'scalix-server' section with libsasl2-2 and reconfigure the scalix-server package.

Worked for me.

Cheers
Stephan

Hi there,

As the solution stated above did not work for me, I went on searching for a solution...
The idea of creating a kind of fake (compatibility) package to fulfill the libsals2 depency.

See this thread on the Ubuntu forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659400

I'm trying to install Saclix 11.0.2 on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsys Gibbon btw.

Hope this might help someone else too.
