Hello, I have a debian based Harvest installation 1.2.2 which I want to update but during SW prerequisite installation it complains about it.
# sudo apt-get -y install unzip perl libjson-perl libwww-perl \
> libxml-parser-perl liblwp-protocol-https-perl \
> libexcel-writer-xlsx-perl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libexcel-writer-xlsx-perl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libexcel-writer-xlsx-perl' has no installation candidate
#
Are there additional sources needed?
Got it working.
Cause: I think it was caused by trying to install netapp-harvest before installing the prerequisite filesets.
The fileset for perl were downlevel but could not be updated because of the netapp-harvest program was locking it out.
Solution:
Soved it by uninstall netapp-harvest fileset. (make a backup of netapp-harvest.conf before!!!)
apt-get remove netapp-harvest
Then
sudo apt-get -y install unzip perl libjson-perl libwww-perl \
> libxml-parser-perl liblwp-protocol-https-perl \
> libexcel-writer-xlsx-perl
Then, reinstall netapp-harvest.
Hi @F_SCHUBERT,
Glad you got it working!
dpkg doesn't pull in dependencies automatically so you either need to meet them before you start, or run 'apt-get -f install' after to get dependencies resolved.
Here is an example of installing Harvest without having the pre-requisites yet and then using apt-get to install them afterwords:
