Foreman installer: dependency problem on Ubuntu 20.04

Support
1

Problem:
foreman-installer ist not installable under ubuntu 20.04.
INstallation fails because of unmet dependencies of ruby-kafo

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 foreman-installer : Depends: ruby-kafo (>= 4.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
                     Depends: ruby-kafo (< 5.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

sudo apt install ruby-kafo

Any suggestions?

Tnhank you!

Right now Ubuntu 20.04 is not supported. There are some packages because an effort was started, but the contributor left the project.

The blocker (can’t find the bug right now) was that we need to be compatible with a newer version of highline (2.0 IIRC). That requires a development effort and AFAIK nobody is working on that right now.

That’s a shame, becuase I had no alternative to updating the server I had foreman running on to 20.04.

Thank you for the info!

Hi there, I am having same issue here with Ubuntu 20.04, but trying with foreman 3.5…
Any hint?
Or would you suggest me to use CentOS?

5

@ogghi it’s generally better to start a new topic after 2 years :wink:

But installing 3.5 on 20.04 works for me. Can you post the exact error message you’re getting and the output of apt policy?

Your system is Ubuntu Focal (20.04), but your source point at Foreman 2.4 (not 3.5! only plugins are configured for 3.5) for Bionic (18.04). Same for Puppet, you have Bionic not Focal sources. That can’t work :wink:

There is no such file in the installer of 3.5 as we dropped that plugin.

  1. which version of the installer package do you have (apt policy foreman-installer)
  2. did you edit the installer answers file by hand by any chance?

Edit: also, it’d be nice to have your output readable, not wrapped in Ansible :wink:

Hi, sure:

foreman-installer:
  Installed: 3.5.1-1+ubuntu2004

The installation is done with Ansible on our end, I just got the task to update the current from 2.4 to newer version.
That’s why I might be on the struggle bus I think!

Here is a long output of our /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/foreman-answers.yaml
