I'm trying to install Nagios LS on Ubuntu 22.04 without avail. I am getting this error. Although I'm able to reach the GUI interface even though the installation says it failed.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libharfbuzz-subset0 : Depends: libharfbuzz0b (>= 5.1.0) but 2.7.4-1ubuntu3.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

INSTALLATION ERROR!

Installation step failed - exiting.
Check for error messages in the install log (install.log).

If you require assistance in resolving the issue, please include install.log

The step that failed was: 'backend'

Hello @patrickm1,

It seems you have some broken packages.

To begin with, I suggest running the following: After that, you can try manually installing the libharfbuzz0b package, check for held packages with sudo apt-mark showhold and try unholding them with sudo apt-mark unhold <package_name> and try fixing broken packages with sudo apt --fix-broken install

This is a result of a Debian package dependency change made after the product was released. We have a help document on the matter here:

I'm getting this error after running ./upgrade


cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/': Not a directory

Hi @patrickm1,

Which product are you installing? From your opening post, it sounds like you're trying to set up Nagios Log Server on a new server, but the thread title and error suggest that you're trying to install Nagios XI.

@patrickm1
Is it possible you're using the upgrade script from nagiosxi rather than Nagios Log Server? The lack of a `nagiosxi` directory suggests you may be trying to upgrade `nagioslogserver` instead.

I would run ls /usr/local to observe if I have `nagiosxi` or `nagioslogserver` and adjust accordingly.
