I am stuck on step 18, Install Jailkit. I double checked my sources.list. Matches the earlier step. Nothing wrong there. The error message follows: Code: apt-get install build-essential Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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: build-essential : Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Is there another repository where I can get build essential? I'd skip it but the tutorial indicates there would be problems later on if I did.
That was my first response that it didn't work. Code: @ubuntu:~# apt-get install g++ Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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: g++ : Depends: g++-4.5 (>= 4.5.2-1~) but it is not going to be installed Depends: gcc-4.5 (>= 4.5.2-1~) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Thanks for the quick response, Till. Here's what happened: Code: @ubuntu:~# apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install build-essential Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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: build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or libc-dev Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I'd rather not chase down all the dependencies because that seems like a lost cause. Different repository perhaps?

Looks ok. Did you previously modify the file and mix other repositories in, or has the file always been like this?
I know. Looks okay to me as well. That is the maddening part. The only time I modified this file was when the tutorial called for it. I believe that was just uncommenting a few lines. My previous experience in server setup is with the Rackspace cloud. Well I have several sites humming along on it, I cannot do e-mail on the cloud. Such is the motivation for having the server in my house. I suppose I can start from scratch.
