Neal and Matt, To clarify, I got my own Virtual Machine(VM) which I use to test software before installing the software in the server. I had never have any show stoppers installing any version of FOSSology in my VM. Version 1.0 is currently installed and running. The server is the one that had always had issues with libextractor. Both are running Ubuntu 8.04.
I checked and 3 extractor packages were already installed: libextractor-dev, libextractor-plugins and libextractor1c2a, all with version 0.5.18a-2. I went ahead and did a apt-get for the plugins to check if there was a newer version but I already had the latest version. I can see that libextractor is installed in /usr/lib. Is there any way to completely ignore the pkgmetagetta agent in the installation and execution of version 1.0? Or do I have to go back to version 0.9? Thanks in advance.

It looks like these dependencies are missing. (First "FATAL" line.) If you run by hand '/usr/local/lib/fossology/agents/pkgmetagetta -i', you should see the same error. > >I commented out the pkgmetagetta line and ran *fossology-scheduler -t* > >and didn't got any errors.

By commenting out the line, you introduced an inconsistency. I'm guessing that you have at least one server and one agent system. If you comment it out on one system, then you must comment it out the exact same way on every system. Otherwise, the systems are inconsistent. > >If I add the pkgmetagetta line back in *Scheduler.conf* then the error > >is the following: > > > > *FATAL: Scheduler error: Unable to access license cache > >'/var/local/lib/fossology/agents/License.bsam'* > >* FATAL: Inconsistent agent(s) detected.* Because pkgmetageta -i failed to run, the install aborted. Further down the install (after running the -i), the install code creates the License.bsam file. Since the install failed, you are missing this file. > >That seems to indicate that the installation didn't finished.

Install the pkgmetageta dependencies (libextractor) and you should be able to re-run the install successfully. If you want, you can install libextractor first, then run 'pkgmetageta -i' manually. If all dependencies load, then it should complete without any problems. (You must be in group 'fossy' to run it.) -Neal
