1.4.4 install fails - add-apt-repository: command not found

Sebastian Roth

@sanga-collins: Give this monster of a command a try: apt-get --dry-run -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=1 -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 install software-properties-common

As well try dpkg --configure -a to see if there is still some package left unconfigured. Plus, run apt-cache showpkg software-properties-common so we see the package dependencies.

Post the full outputs again. Hopefully we can figure out what would be causing the removal of apt on your system.

@sebastian-roth said in 1.4.4 install fails - add-apt-repository: command not found:

apt-get --dry-run -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=1 -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 install software-properties-common

Here is what I got when executing the commands you provided (good to know apt has a dry run feature

apt-get --dry-run -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=1 -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 install software-properties-common

@sanga-collins Maybe it just needs a cleanup of the apt DB: apt-get clean, then try again installing the packages…

As well run apt-cache show gnupg and post results.

@Sanga-Collins What do you get from apt-get policy gnupg?

Edit: The version 2.1.15-1ubuntu6 of gnupg kind of looks like it came from ubuntu zesty (check the version numbers here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnupg). I still don’t know how this could happen. Maybe you tried upgrading to 17.04 at some stage but then went back to 16.04???

Turns out the command was apt policy gnupg. The results are below

@Sanga-Collins Sorry, my fault. Should have been apt-cache policy ... or apt policy ... works just as well.

Now we’re getting closer. It’s coming from that zentyal repository… So edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and comment (put a # hash tag in front of) that line “deb http://archive.zentyal.org/zentyal …”

apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get update
apt-get install software-properties-common

Sebastian Roth

@Sanga-Collins LOL, now that we know what’s wrong it was easy to find other people being in the same situation: https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=31231.0

From my point of view this is something Zentyal is doing wrong and they should fix it. For now you can live with disabling that repo I reckon.

Edit: And another one here: https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=30815.0
If you are keen to stay with Zentyal you can follow those instructions, download newer Yakkety package versions from launchpad and install those by hand. Very ugly and I am sure it’ll break something else very soon. Don’t go there if you don’t really know what you do.

Sanga Collins

@sebastian-roth said in 1.4.4 install fails - add-apt-repository: command not found:

apt-get install software-properties-common

I may have to go with the 2nd fix and get newer packages from Yakkety to resolve the issue. This server is our office Domain controller as well as imaging server. So breaking the Samba shares and logins will have my team up in arms come Monday morning.

So sad they let this bug slip through. My plan of upgrading all my remote servers and installing Fog has hit a major road bump.

I am going to create a VM and install the latest version of Zentyal from the ISO and see if that makes any difference.

Thank you for all your patience and invaluable assistance. Above and Beyond by far!
