Hi, I tried to install ISPConfig on Debian 9 "Stretch", and it works fine ! However, I need php 5.x, and it seems very difficult to install on Deb9 ? As a solution, I decided to use Debian 8 "Jessie" instead. I followed the guide https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/perfect-server-debian-8-jessie-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3, but I get stuck in installation of Bind9 and dnsutils: root@webhotel:/opt/certbot# apt-get install bind9 dnsutils Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done dnsutils 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: bind9 : Depends: libbind9-90 (= 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13) but 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u14 is to be installed Depends: libdns100 (= 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13) but 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u14 is to be installed Depends: libisc95 (= 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13) but 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u14 is to be installed Depends: libisccc90 (= 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13) but 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u14 is to be installed Depends: libisccfg90 (= 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13) but 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u14 is to be installed Depends: liblwres90 (= 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13) but 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u14 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Google seems not to have an answer. I have used this guide before, at that time with no problems at all ? What can I do to get past this ?
Maybe just temporary situation where package repository is not in sync. It looks like a package requires a newer version that is available. This should not happen on Debian stable or oldstable distribution. Try running apt-get update and then try again. If this does not help, change the package repository the host is using, in /etc/apt/sources.list. If still not successful, try again tomorrow and hope the stuff is in sync completely.
Drat, actually the bind9 requires an older version of those dependencies that is available. Still, same repairs apply. Also, now I notice the line about held packages. Check with Code: # dpkg --get-selections | grep 'hold$' To repair those holds, see https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#review-actions
run Code: apt-get install libisc95=1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13 libisccc90=1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13 libisccfg90=1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13 liblwres90=1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13 libdns100=1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13 libdns100-90=1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u13 Before install bind9 problem solved!
Also as a side note if you have issues with hhvm asking for public key use: Code: wget -O - http://dl.hhvm.com/conf/hhvm.gpg.key | apt-key add - to solve hhvm issues!
