Have I borked my system?

Post by rog »

I'll try to keep this short.

I'm trying to install OwnCloud, and I was installing the dependencies, listed here:

http://owncloud.org/support/setup-and-i ... ux-server/

which are apache2 php5 php5-sqlite php5-json php5-gd

I didn't attempt to install apache2 or php5, but the other three I did. It didn't install php5-json, telling me it installed, I think, php5-common instead. And it told me that I now had this long list of things that were no longer needed, and to run apt-get autoremove to remove them. So I did, and now I can't seem to install anything. I tried to install some of the soft dependencies, and it wouldn't let me install any of them. So I tried to decompress the owncloud package, which was a bz2 file, and had to install bzip2 to do so, and it gave me the following output:

Code: Select all

root@b3:/home/roger# apt-get install bzip2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mediatomb-daemon : Depends: mediatomb-common (>= 0.12.0~svn2018-6ex2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
root@b3:/home/roger#
It's giving me that note about mediatomb-daemon for everything I've tried to install.

So, have I fundamentally screwed something up? Should I reinstall the system? Or is this fixable?

B2 or B3? Just wondering why you still have media tomb installed. Have you done what the error message says and tried to run

Code: Select all

apt-get -f install

Actually, mediatomb is one of the packages that were removed. I have not tried the -f option...I'm always a little leery of doing that, especially since the system is telling me to do it, no matter what I try to install. Eventually, that's going to lead to disaster.

edit: It's a B3, 2TB wifi.
