The following packages have unmet dependencies

Hi, when I run the wizard for external access, Letsencrypt bug:

Thansk for your response.

You need to fix that dependency problem. Please share the info of your system sudo ncp-report

With the new image file : NextCloudPi_RPi_Berryboot_01-13-19.img
The problem is resolved
Thanks for your response.
Hi

I have this problem too. using the nextcloud pi image for raspberry pi

feel like at some point the installer removed certbot and installed letsencrypt and the dependency issues started.

I delete the image and I download the last image (january 2019) and I install him without errors

After a little more investigation on the dependencies it looks like the version of some of the python dependencies are a little newer than the package manager is calling for. I will send ncp-report when I figure out how to copy it out of nano. My cert is going to expire so Iā€™m hoping to get this figured out.

yeah you are going to have to solve the dependency situation. Maybe ask in the certbot forums, or try apt-get upgrade first or similar.

Thx I thought about apt upgrade but it didnā€™t look like that was going to update any of the packages that are causing the issue. I will try that and also hit up the forums. If I figure it out I will post solution here for others who might have the issue.

I run NCP on an OdroidHC2 for quite some time now with no issues at all. Since one of the latest NCP updates (auto-update confgured), I have the same issue and letsencrypt cannot renew the certificate

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:
python-dev : Depends: libpython-dev (= 2.7.13-2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python2.7-dev (&gt;= 2.7.13-1~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Unfortuantely I donā€™t know how to resolve this. ā€œapt-get upgradeā€ didnā€™t do the job. If anyone can help me I would be very grateful!

You could try:

apt-get -f install

i already did without success.
Also with apt-get upgrade & apt-get update no successā€¦ :frowning:

Do you have backups?
If so, could just do a fresh install and upgrade, then restore config and data.
Had something similar on a rpi3B+ and thats what I ended up doing.

surely this would be an option and might be worthwhileā€¦ I had hoped I could avoid this.
No other ideas?
Just came accross someone stating re-installing with aptitude instead of apt-get might solve, as this was ā€œmore intelligentā€ā€¦ unfortunately I would not be sure which packages to re-install with the error messages givenā€¦

Edit: There is another entry I had missed mentioning:
python set to manually installed.
Maybe this is the reason? Can I correct that soomehow (without freshly installing the entire thing)?

I have just tried with re-insalling python and libpython-dev with aptitude and this solved the issues, as it allowed to explicitely downgrade to 2.7.13-2 while 2.7.15 was already installed partlyā€¦ now all is on same version and works fine.

Thanks I will try this

aptitude to the rescue! thatā€™s right didnā€™t think about that but itā€™s not the first time it is better than apt at fixing this kind of stuff

thanks for sharing

confirming that this worked for me also. Thanks tjohs and thanks nachoparker.

Thanks for sharing! :sunglasses:
I had no idea aptitude could fix this.
