On a fresh Ubuntu 32bit 12.04 LTS install on Digital Ocean - I receive the following error.

I have tried to run the installer a few times and it consistently gives the same error.

Am I doing something incorrectly? Hostname and FQDN are the same and domain is pointed correctly

I ran into the same problem. I got around this issue by installing an older version of drush first

sudo apt-get install drush=4.5-6

Then follow the instructions as posted.

Status: Active » Closed (fixed)

Also just a note that I had to run

apt-get update
sudo apt-get install drush=4.5-6
wget http://getdevshop.com/install.debian
sudo sh install.debian

Then all worked perfectly
