Let PacketFence do it. Once you have installed PacketFence run the web based configurator http://ip-of-your-packetfence-box:3000/configurator Hope that helps Mark -----Original Message----- From: Robin Kipp [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 19 September 2012 21:06 To: [email protected] Subject: [PacketFence-users] Dependency issues when trying to install Packetfence on Debian Squeeze Hello everyone, I'm new to this list and in fact have just subscribed here, as I just heard about Packetfence and would like to use it as a network security system! Since I'm a Debian user, I added the repository for Packetfence to my sources.list.d directory, ran aptitude update and then attempted to install with aptitude install packetfence. Well, unfortunately that doesn't seem to be possible for some reason, as I'm getting the following results: The following NEW packages will be installed: apache2{a} apache2-mpm-prefork{ab} apache2-mpm-worker{ab} apache2-utils{a} apache2.2-bin{a} apache2.2-common{a} libaio1{a} libapache2-mod-php5{a} libapache2-mod-proxy-html{a} libapr1{a} libaprutil1{a} libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3{a} libaprutil1-ldap{a} libdaq0{a} libdbd-mysql-perl{a} libdbi-perl{a} libdumbnet1{a} libencode-locale-perl{a} libfile-listing-perl{a} libfont-afm-perl{a} libhtml-form-perl{a} libhtml-format-perl{a} libhtml-parser-perl{a} libhtml-tagset-perl{a} libhtml-template-perl{a} libhtml-tree-perl{a} libhttp-cookies-perl{a} libhttp-daemon-perl{a} libhttp-date-perl{a} libhttp-message-perl{a} libhttp-negotiate-perl{a} libio-socket-ip-perl{a} libio-socket-ssl-perl{a} liblwp-mediatypes-perl{a} liblwp-protocol-https-perl{a} libmailtools-perl{a} libmysqlclient18{a} libnet-daemon-perl{a} libnet-http-perl{a} libnet-ssleay-perl{a} libonig2{a} libpcap0.8{a} libplrpc-perl{a} libprelude2{a} libqdbm14{a} libsocket-perl{a} libtimedate-perl{a} liburi-perl{a} libwww-perl{a} libwww-robotrules-perl{a} mysql-client-5.5{a} mysql-common{a} mysql-server{a} mysql-server-5.5{a} mysql-server-core-5.5{a} oinkmaster{a} openssl-blacklist{a} openssl-blacklist-extra{a} packetfence{b} php-log{a} php-pear{a} php5-cli{a} php5-common{a} php5-gd{a} php5-mysql{a} snort{a} snort-common{a} snort-common-libraries{a} snort-rules-default{a} 0 packages upgraded, 69 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

PreDepends: freeradius-krb5 but it is not going to be installed. apache2-mpm-worker : Conflicts: apache2-mpm which is a virtual package. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-mpm-prefork [Not Installed] 2) libapache2-mod-php5 [Not Installed] 3) packetfence [Not Installed] Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] Of course, accepting this would mean I'd end up with pretty much nothing at all, as pretty much none of the dependencies would be met. Is there any easy way of resolving this, or is the version from the repository unusable? Also, when I install this on a machine with multiple ethernet ports, do I need to setup things like DHCP, NAT, etc. manually, or should I leave the system as "plain" as possible and configure these things using Packetfence? Thanks a lot for any info on these things!
