Experimental settings in /etc/apt/preferences break install and upgrade

It looks like a serious issue with not updated Debian repositories - probably (not sure, however, we need to test this more)

Please use something like:

_LOCAL_DEBIAN_MIRROR=ftp.us.debian.org (or any other mirror near your location) in your /root/.barracuda.cnf before running the install again. Note that you will need to run Barracuda installer directly, as the boa wrapper forces _LOCAL_DEBIAN_MIRROR=ftp.debian.org which seems to fail for some reason.

See also: http://hefring.mig5.net/bot/log/aegir/2012-05-26#T217557

I just tried this again on a fresh linode and I can't reproduce this, so they probably fixed this already.

I have just had the same problem on a fresh debian 6 (x64) install. The (auto) mirror used is ftp.de.debian.org - and it is failing because of a conflict with libssl. Switching the apt sources.list to ftp.us.debian.org fixes the problem and boa is working fine afterwards.

However, of course this is not a problem related to BOA but i wanted to let you know this problem still exists.

I have this same error message from Debian 32 bit

could get Barracuda to install and work, Octopus fails..

Same issue.

New server Debian 6, 64bit.
Change _LOCAL_DEBIAN_MIRROR=ftp.us.debian.org in /root/.barracuda.cnf
but the install says:

INFO: We will use Debian mirror ftp.debian.org

and the error remains.

Any suggestions?

We can't reproduce this issue any longer for over a month on any server we have tried.

If you are still experiencing this, please open new issue with all details as required in the bug submission guidelines, including your host (provider) name.

Exact same issue as above and before... this issue needs to remain open until it is resolved please... I've made it High priority because I'm getting no response from anyone at omega8cc and others have this issue too.

This is SOOO frustrating... debian repository updates aside, the changes to the config file are not honoured when doing the upgrade. (see below as it still uses ftp.debian.org as the mirror regardless of change to config)

I don't understand how you are "unable to reproduce this on any server" when this is the 5th time i've started again from scratch with a clean "vanilla" install of Debian Squeeze and I get the exact same results every time.

It installs B+O+A but when i use the link to my o1 instance I just get a blank page.

Please advise as I've been at this for a week now.

My host, not that it should make a rats bit of difference, is www.webhosting.bignoise.co.nz.

pro:~# 

Please open separate issue with all information required, including your host (provider) name.

NOTE: Please don't paste logs, only include as files.

I had the same problem on a local install in virtualbox debian. If you open the BARRACUDA.sh.txt in /var/backups with nano or similar and do a full search and replace of ftp.debian.org with ftp.us.debian.org and then run bash /var/backups/BARRACUDA.sh.txt it will complete with no errors.

Same issue.

New server Debian 6, 64bit.
Change _LOCAL_DEBIAN_MIRROR=ftp.us.debian.org in /root/.barracuda.cnf
but the install says:

INFO: We will use Debian mirror ftp.debian.org

and the error remains.

Any suggestions?

It was some shockingly trivial bug. We have left some experimental only settings in the /etc/apt/preferences template file - there was a Pin-Priority: 600 set for Pin: origin ftp.debian.org while it was not intended to go into stable release and caused so many weird issues, sorry :/

We have applied a hot-fix both to HEAD and stable.

Changing the issue title to match the real problem.
