Public bug reported: On a fresh Ubuntu 17.10 install (with updated packages or not) the CouchDB package from the official Ubuntu repos does not work. The CouchDB service fails to start, and continues to fail to start after restarting the service or restarting the computer. CouchDB also cannot be executed from the command line, resulting in an error. I have reported this to the official CouchDB GitHub, and the developers state that Ubuntu 17.10 is now shipping a version of Erlang that CouchDB doesn't support. The outputted error from attempting to run CouchDB from the command line, as well as the dialogue from the CouchDB developers, can be found here: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/910
