[nightlight]

Hi I'd like to install pilight 8 on a Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian Lite Stretch (2017-09-07 image), I experience dependency issues.

Code:

Kernel version:
root@pi2akosone:~# uname -a
Linux pi2akosone 4.9.59-v7+ #1047 SMP Sun Oct 29 12:19:23 GMT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

I don't want nightlies, just stable, so here's what my sources list looks like:

Code:

root@pi2akosone:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pilight.list
deb http://apt.pilight.org/ stable main

After a successful "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade", I check what version would be installed from the stable repo:

Code:

root@pi2akosone:~# apt-cache policy pilight
pilight:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 8.0.1
  Version table:
     8.0.1 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     8.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     7.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     6.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     5.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     4.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     3.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     2.1 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     2.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     1.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages

Okay, version 8.0.1 would be perfect for me, so I try to install it:

Code:

root@pi2akosone:~# apt-get install pilight

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Seems like it needs pilight-webgui as a dependency, but why can't it install it together? Anyway, I checked if there's pilight-webgui in the repo (and what version):

Code:

root@pi2akosone:~# apt-cache policy pilight-webgui
pilight-webgui:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 8.0
  Version table:
     8.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     7.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     6.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages
     5.0 500
        500 http://apt.pilight.org stable/main armhf Packages

Okay, pilight-webgui 8.0 should be fine, so I tried to install pilight-webgui to resolve dependency issue, but I ran into a dependency of pilight.

Code:

root@pi2akosone:~# apt-get install pilight-webgui

I've tried the same process while the nightly repo was added in the sources list, but didn't help, same outcome.

Can you please advise?

What happens if you do

Code:

sudo apt-get install pilight pilight-webgui

i.e. try to install both packages at the same time?

---

Well, nvm, just tried installing pilight 8.0 myself and I can report that it's currently impossible

The problem probably lies in the clusterfuck that is dependency versions for the pilight and pilight-webgui packages. pilight-webgui depends on some pilight >= 8.0.1-3-blablabla, but only pilight=8.0.1 is available, and thus apt-get refuses to go about installing anything pilight related.

@curlymo plz fix

Hello, I experience the same issue with 8.0 install, I have tested a temporary fix with the lower vesrion install command:

Code:

apt-get install pilight=6.0 pilight-webgui=6.0

then afterwards

Code:

apt-get upgrade

blocks on the same issue --> no upgrade to 8

[curlymo]

Should be fixed.

Works again, thanks!

[nightlight]

I can also confirm it works, thanks @pilino1234 for testing and @curlymo for fixing the issue!
