Hey all…

I’m trying to install chef-server on a brand-spanking new, stock install of Ubuntu 11.10 (i386), using this guide: http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Installing+Chef+Server+on+Debian+or+Ubuntu+using+Packages

I’ve performed all items successfully through the “sudo apt-get upgrade” step.

Upon trying to “sudo apt-get install chef chef-server”, I get the following error:

ubuntu@ubuntu:/etc/couchdb$ sudo apt-get install chef chef-server Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: chef : Depends: ohai (>= 0.6.0) but it is not going to be installed

    Depends: librestclient-ruby but it is not installable
    Depends: libbunny-ruby but it is not installable

           Depends: chef-expander (>= 0.10.8) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So, it appears that the packages are referring to broken dependencies…what am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.
