I followed "How To Install Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) On Ubuntu" here (thanx for providing this howto!). Everything goes great until halfway step 3. After I answer 'yes' to 'The system will be modified. Continue?' I get this error : Code: Installing packages zimbra-core......zimbra-core_4.5.3_GA_733.DEBIAN3.1_i386.deb...FAILED ###ERROR### zimbra-core_4.5.3_GA_733.DEBIAN3.1_i386.deb installation failed Installation cancelled I downloaded the most recent Debian package from the Zimbra Sourceforge page (not corrupted). The setup is a standard clean Debian Sarge install, with correct MX-record. I don't know where to go from this error, I couln't find a solution on the Zimbra forums or here. Did anyone succeed installing Zimbra on Debian Sarge? Any thoughts on how I can solve this?
What's the output of Code: uname -a ? Did you try to install Zimbra as root? What happens if you try to install zimbra-core_4.5.3_GA_733.DEBIAN3.1_i386.deb manually? Code: dpkg -i zimbra-core_4.5.3_GA_733.DEBIAN3.1_i386.deb

I just tried to install an earlier version of the zimbra debian install (zcs-4.5.2_GA_699.DEBIAN3.1.tgz) but this resulted in the same installation error : Code: zimbra-core......zimbra-core_4.5.2_GA_699.DEBIAN3.1_i386.deb...FAILED ###ERROR### zimbra-core_4.5.2_GA_699.DEBIAN3.1_i386.deb installation failed In reply to your uname -a question.. could zimbra not be compatible with the i686 architecture?
It is. I wanted to see if maybe you have a x86_64 system... Can you delete the Zimbra directory: Code: rm -fr /opt/zimbra and try the installation again from the beginning?
I deleted the Zimbra directory and tried both the ./install.sh and dpkg -i zimbra-core_4.5.3_GA_733.DEBIAN3.1_i386.deb. The first still asks if I want to upgrade (both yes and no finally end up in the same error as before). Do I need to remove more files? The second give me this error now: Code: h1199365:/usr/src/zcs/packages# dpkg -i zimbra-core_4.5.2_GA_699.DEBIAN3.1_i386.deb (Reading database ... 35362 files and directories currently installed.)

Ok, no disk space problem then. But I see you don't have any swap. What are the output of Code: top and Code: cat /proc/meminfo ?

Can the error while installing a .deb be due to insufficient free mem? BTW: isn't there a logfile with information on the error?
Memory seems to be fine. Maybe Zimbra has a problem with your virtual server, as this error message suggests: But I don't know why...
