Afaik python-software-properties is not contained in the Ubuntu installer .iso files. You have to download it from a repository server and install it manually.

If your server does not have internet access, the installer cannot automatically resolve dependencies.
You might have to try installing python-software-properties, and if this fails with a missing dependency, you have to download and install the dependent package(s) first, and so on, maybe in several rounds.

By the way, if your server does not have internet connection, how do you make sure to keep the software up-to-date to fight critical vulnerabilities (like heartbleed, shellshock ... )?

And it seems that saltstack.com does not provide software for Ubuntu 15.04. If instructions and software for 14.04 do not work on 15.04, you have to ask saltstack.com how to proceed.

Thanks Manfred,

I did not find "python-software-properties" in the internet ( eg. ttps://pypi.python.org/).
I have installed software-properties-common as got suggestion from internet. but still has issue for salt installation successfully.

Also can you plz provide info "who can i prepare local repository in Ubuntu 15.04 / 14/04.

I sent mail to saltstack ('<email address hidden>') to get help, but got no reply so far.
Note: I am manually downloading the pkg and then copying the pkg in my subject server, as the server does not have internet connection and there is no provision to connect the server with internet.

For testing purpose could you plz suggest what Ubuntu OS version can I use to install saltstack and check all it's feature.

My purpose is to have handson knowledge on Saltstack on ubuntu OS.

Plz help

You will not find the Ubuntu python-software-properties package on pypi, but on the Ubuntu repository servers, e.g. http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid-updates/all/python-software-properties/download

Saltstack is not provided in Ubuntu, but by its own maintainer. I recommend you try saltstack support; maybe http://saltstack.com/community/ helps answering your questions.

Can you help with this problem?
