I've been attempting to install OpenLDAP on Ubuntu, but I keep receiving a dependency error whenever I try to install it.
The console output is:
dpkg: error processing package libapache2-mpm-itk (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of apache2-mpm-itk:
apache2-mpm-itk depends on libapache2-mpm-itk; however:
Package libapache2-mpm-itk is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing package apache2-mpm-itk (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
libapache2-mpm-itk
apache2-mpm-itk
I tried running the code below to fix these errors:
sudo apt-get -f
But I received the error:
E: Command line option 'f' [from -f] is not known.
I have also tried to use the alternative --fix-broken, but I get the same error. Has anyone ever experience this and know a way around this?
First you'll have to resolve the problem with libapache2-mpm-itk
. There isn't enough info in what you posted above to see why it's failing to install, but a quick workaround would be to just remove it:
sudo apt-get purge libapache2-mpm-itk apache2-mpm-itk
After that you should be able to install other packages again.
-f
has to be used with an action, for example: sudo apt-get -f install
(you don't need to provide any packages names when doing this.)
