Hey everyone. I’m hitting an interesting issue. When I install nxlog on ubuntu 12.04, everything installs perfectly.
dpkg-deb -f <nxlog.deb> Depends this lists the dependencies dpkg -i <nxlog.deb> fails as expected. missing dependencies. apt-get install -fy finds and installs the missing dependencies dpkg -i <nxlog.deb> bam. everything installs perfectly. now here’s ubuntu 14.04 root@mynameisinigomontoya:~# dpkg-deb -f nxlog-ce_2.8.1248_amd64.ubuntu.deb Depends libapr1 (>= 1.4.2), libc6 (>= 2.14), libcap2 (>= 2.10), libdbi1 (>= 0.8.4), libexpat1 (>= 1.95.8), libpcre3 (>= 8.10), libperl5.14 (>= 5.14.2), libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), adduser, openssl, lsb-base root@mynameisinigomontoya:~# dpkg -i nxlog-ce_2.8.1248_amd64.ubuntu.deb Selecting previously unselected package nxlog-ce.

Removing nxlog-ce (2.8.1248) ... root@mynameisinigomontoya:~# this repeats ad nauseam. I am reluctant to manually install dependencies as I have seen it blow up servers before when trying to apt-get install software later. From my experience, apt-get installing software after manually adding dependencies leads to apt-get suggesting you apt-get install -f to resolve issues and I have found that apt-get tends to uninstall loads of important software and break servers. I can’t risk that. Please help me find a solution. Ubuntu 12 is EOL and 14.04 is new overlord. I can’t use nxlog on my new systems and I’m kind of fucked. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
