  4. Unable to locate package - installation on Ubuntu 16.04

Unable to locate package - installation on Ubuntu 16.04

Added by Scott Prock over 7 years ago

Hello,

I’m unable to install OpenProject onto my dedicated server.

I got the following after step three ( https://www.openproject.org/download-and-installation/ )

Reading package lists... Done E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found. N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed? E: Failed to fetch https://dl.packager.io/srv/deb/opf/openproject-ce/stable/7/ubuntu/dists/16.04/InRelease E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

With the above, it’s understandable when trying

apt-get install openproject

I get an error back - unable to locate package openproject

My next question … should OpenProject be installed on a clean server? I’m trying to install it on a new server installation but it has the LiteSpeed server installed and I have three newly configured vhosts setup.

I’m also running MariaDB

Thank you for any and all suggestions … Scott

Hi Scott,

you posted the solution to your error yourself in your message:

E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?

You can’t use the package source without apt-transport-https present. Install it with apt-get install apt-transport-https.

Best,
Oliver

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and I can’t get it installed. I am following the instructions above, including making sure that apt-transport-https is installed and working, but I am still getting the same result:

When I execute:
sudo apt-get install openproject

I receive:
E: Unable to locate package openproject

RE: Unable to locate package - installation on Ubuntu 16.04 - Added by Oliver Günther almost 7 years ago

Hi Tamir,

1. Is it possible you’re on a 32bit Ubuntu that we don’t support ? Please check with lscpu.

oliver@ubuntu ~ $ lscpu | grep Architecture
Architecture:        x86_64

2. can you check whether apt shows any versions for OpenProject with apt-cache show openproject ?

Best,
Oliver

RE: Unable to locate package - installation on Ubuntu 16.04 - Added by Olavo Alexandrino about 5 years ago

I have just found this after having posted a case with the same issue.

https://community.openproject.com/topics/11912

But, it appears to me that no one has updated the "Install OpenProject with DEB/RPM packages" web page.

https://docs.openproject.org/installation-and-operations/installation/packaged/#ubuntu-1804

is anyone in the community able to help?
