I just tried to install IspCP on a new server, but getting this error while installating the needed Debian packages:

Code:

# apt-get install `cat ./debian-packages-etch` 

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... Done

bash is already the newest version.

bzip2 is already the newest version.

diff is already the newest version.

gzip is already the newest version.

iptables is already the newest version.

Package libnet-perl is a virtual package provided by:

  perl-modules 5.8.8-7etch1

You should explicitly select one to install.

E: Package libnet-perl has no installation candidate

Any ideas? I installed IspCP in the past on 3 different servers and never had this problem before.

Please post your sources.list!
Did you:

Code:

apt-get uptdate && apt-get upgrade

after you changed the sources.list ?

Could this new behavior introduced by the recent Perl security update?
http://www.debian.org/security/2007/dsa-1400

I guess replacing libnet-perl with perl-modules in debian-packages-etch should do the trick, right?

My source.list is:

Code:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free                  

deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free              

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free              

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free

and yes, I run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade Wink

I also checked in the meantime the other servers. This error appear now on all 3 servers if I try to run apt-get install libnet-perl on those machines.

perl-modules-5.8.8-7etch1 delivers libnet-perl. We have to delete it from package list; Will be done in my next commit.
However it's recommended to update a freshly installed debian via

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

before installing ispCP

This is present in Ubuntu packages list too, and annoying for some time... or since ISPcp first version...

the best is to list both (first perl-modules and then libnet-perl), that way apt shouldn't complain when libnet-apt is not a real package (since perl-modules is already listed to be installed)

That didn't work here.

Now we have a ticket... http://www.isp-control.net/ispcp/ticket/873
