I'm trying to install Gearman on a clean out of the box 10.04 server using the following commands:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gearman-job-server libgearman2 libgearman-dev uuid-dev php5-dev
sudo pecl install channel://pecl.php.net/gearman-0.7.0

I've added the following to my /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gearman-developers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

But I get the following error after I run the apt-get install:

Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
uuid-dev is already the newest version.
php5-dev is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gearman-job-server: Depends: libdrizzle1 (>= 2010.10.01) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:

It seems I was able to install libdrizzle with the following instructions:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:drizzle-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdrizzle1

After this I was able to install Gearman, however, I was unable to install the PECL module. The module seems to be no longer supported. I was able to install it like this:

wget http://pecl.php.net/get/gearman-0.7.0.tgz
tar -xvfz gearman-0.7.0.tgz
cd gearman-0.7.0
./configure
make
sudo make install

It would appear that the PPA for gearman-job-server is a little broken. I'd suggest reporting this as a bug here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/gearmand/+filebug

That said, there is a working version of gearman-job-server in lucid, v0.10. Its a little older and doesn't have libdrizzle support, so persistence will have to be through other means, but it should work.

I installed that one built I'm unable to build PHP support for it. I might open that up under a new question. – Luke May 1 '11 at 6:30

Try to change the server from your packages.

1) Click Alt + F2 and paste this gksu software-properties-gtk

2) Then hit enter.

3) Choose another server:

Sorry. I'm not sure what this is supposed to do. Could you elaborate? Thanks. – Luke May 1 '11 at 3:22
Sometimes I could fix this issue by changing the server of the packages. I've edited the answer. – desgua May 1 '11 at 4:38
