I can't install software package

Post by Torhuk » Sun Mar 08, 2015 7:05 pm

Hi,

I have a raspberry Pi with a debian version 7.8 system install on it.

I install openvpn but when i try to install the software package openvpn-as-2.0.12-Debian7.amd_64.deb, i have this error message :
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of openvpn-as:
openvpn-as depends on iptables.
dpkg: error processing openvpn-as (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
openvpn-as

I check, ip forwarding is active on my server (sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward return 1).

Help me please :)

a few questions/suggestions...

*this is the AS version,do you need AS or open source one?
*using dpkg does NOT resolve any package dependencies, use apt instead
*ip forwarding has nothing to do with package installation

regards,

Michael.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I start with Linux so excuse me if my questions are trivial for you :p

I prefer AS version because this is a "one click" installation.
I will try to use apt instead dpkg.

Regards.

Hi again,

I try to install the package with the commande : sudo apt-get install openvpn-as-2.0.12-Debian7.amd_64.deb
I have this error message :
root@raspberrypi:/tmp# sudo apt-get install openvpn-as-2.0.12-Debian7.amd_64.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package openvpn-as-2.0.12-Debian7.amd_64.deb
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'openvpn-as-2.0.12-Debian7.amd_64.deb'

I download my package in tmp directory.

Thanks for your help
