Upgrade FOG 1.5.7 - Ubuntu Server 18.04 libcurl3

[Pikmin]

I’m having some issues with an upgrade, I think I narrowed it down to libcurl3 or libcurl4

The installer will install libcurl3 but curl requires libcurl4 and will fail.

I noticed a few similar topics (one about Debian 10) but didn’t really see a solution

First I tried commenting out the packages line in .fogsettings, but I got an error on one of the packages

Then I tried to change the curl3 to curl4 in packages section of the .fogsettings

Obviously I didn’t work this out on my own
@Sebastian-Roth provided the crucial hint here:

https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/261

It still failed on the following packages

* Installing package: libapache2-mod-php7.1...................Failed! (Will try later)
* Installing package: php7.1-curl.............................Failed! (Will try later)

php is set to 7.1 in fogsettings

I ran these two and it was fine (not sure if I should’ve used php7.2 instead?)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
apt install php7.1-curl libapache2-mod-php7.1

Thanks everyone

Just as a question what installer did you use for 18.04.3

When installing Ubuntu Server make sure to use the ISO that ends in “18.04.3-server-amd64” NOT the ISO that they automatically offer up which ends in “18.04.3-live-server-amd64” That ISO doesn’t contain some of the standard repos.
Here’s the link if anyone needs it:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04.3/release/ubuntu-18.04.3-server-amd64.iso
You CAN use the live iso but then you need to make sure to add universe & multiverse

@astrugatch

It was an upgrade from 16.04, both universe and multiverse are enabled in sources. Good to know
Thanks
