epoptes-client_0.5.7-1_all.deb, unable to install it

Asked by franziski

I'm tryng to install 0.5.7-1 version due to problem with LDAP users.

I'm using Debian 7 which install instead 0.5.6-1 instead so I try to install newer version with dpkg.

The installation of epoptes_0.5.7-1_all.deb works ok without trouble using a well known method to install a deb and fix the dep.:

sudo dpkg -i epoptes_0.5.7-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

But the installation of epoptes-client_0.5.7-1_all.deb there is nothing to do:

sudo ltsp-chroot -m -a i386 dpkg -i /tmp/epoptes-client_0.5.7-1_all.deb
sudo ltsp-chroot -m -a i386 apt-get -f install

The command "apt-get -f install" instead t fix dep. removes the previous. installed package!

Then I tried to use gdebi:

sudo ltsp-chroot -m gdebi /tmp/epoptes-client_0.5.7-1_all.deb

Now the dependecies are fixed (it install and config required pkgs) but at the end of whole process it says:

...
 epoptes-client dipende da python:any.
..
Si sono verificati degli errori nell'elaborazione:
 epoptes-client

Instead python is installed in chrooted fat client os. Then I launch:

sudo ltsp-chroot -m -a i386 apt-get -f install

but again it removes epoptes-client

Here it is 'dpkg --get-selections | grep python" launched within the chroot:

dpkg --get-selections | grep python

Just add the ppa to your sources, as specified in the installation page:

It says: for previous versions of Debian 7

Yes I wrote this in that page:
"You don't need to add the epoptes repository to your sources if you're using Debian 7.0 (Wheezy)"

You don't "need" to, but you "can" add that PPA.
And if you do, you get the newer epoptes versions, like 0.5.7, which is what you want.

Alternatively, if for some reason you don't like PPAs, you can file a bug report in Debian and request a wheezy backport for epoptes 0.5.7.

I'd prefer a less invasive method. Is it possible use apt pinning instead?

Of course, but that's outside of the scope of epoptes support.
If you don't know how to do apt pinning, ask the debian support channels.

Prefers stay with default 0.5.6-1 version
