I am trying to install icinga2 on PI-3. I have the following set-up:

  • Raspberry Pi 3 Ubuntu
  • Ubuntu Server Standard 16.04
  • icinga2

I execute the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:formorer/icinga
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install icinga2`

I get the following error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
icinga2 : Depends: icinga2-bin (= 2.4.1-2ubuntu1) but it is not going to 
be installed
Depends: icinga2-common (= 2.4.1-2ubuntu1) but >2.4.10-1~ppa1~xenial1 
is to be installed
Recommends: icinga2-doc but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.`

I am fairly new to linux/ubuntu and I am not even 100% sure what the error means or how to resolve it

Thanks for any help on this

Alexis

  • Hey, for broken packages run sudo apt install -f and then try installing dependencies separately, does the error persist?

  • @PauliusŠukys thanks for the response. I did as suggested. sudo apt install -f sudo apt-get install icinga2-common This installed fine but when i try to install the second dependency i get the following error sudo apt-get install icinga2-bin Some packages could not be installed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: icinga2-bin : Depends: icinga2-common (= 2.4.1-2ubuntu1) but 2.4.10-1~ppa1~xenial1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages
