Installing on Ubuntu server 14.04: Unable to locate package passenger

[giorgi...@certhidea.it]

Hi, i'm following your guide on installing Passenger with Nginx on ubuntu server 14.04, as explained on http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Nginx.html
I've found that on oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com there is the Trusty folder so i tryed to install on ubuntu 14.04.
I've create the passenger.list file with the trusty packages request. I've no errors when i do apt-get update.
Everithing goes well till when i do
sudo apt-get install nginx-extras passenger.

Ubuntu tell me: Unable to locate package passenger !

I've made the same procedure for ubuntu 12.04 and all run wery well, without issue on findind package passenger.

What can i do to resolve this error?

thanks for your effort on make so simple install nginx+passenger for rails apps.

I found that I had to change the permissions on /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list so that everyone could read.

The instructions say:

 

  sudo chown root: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list
  sudo chmod 600 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list
  sudo apt-get update

but I had to "sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list" BEFORE "sudo apt-get update".

Once done 14.04 seems to find passenger but still cannot install:  

# apt-cache policy nginx-extras
nginx-extras:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:1.4.2-2.4.0.20~raring1
  Version table:
     1:1.4.2-2.4.0.20~raring1 0
        500 https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/apt/passenger/ raring/main amd64 Packages
     1.4.6-1ubuntu3 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages

But when I try to install I am seeing unresolved dependencies:

# sudo apt-get install nginx-extras passenger passenger-dev

.

.

.

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:
 nginx-extras : Depends: perlapi-5.14.2 but it is not installable
                Depends: libgd2-noxpm (>= 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg) but it is not installable or
                         libgd2-xpm (>= 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg) but it is not installable
                Depends: libperl5.14 (>= 5.14.2) but it is not installable
                Recommends: passenger (< 4.0.21) but 1:4.0.20-1~raring1 is to be installed
 passenger : Depends: libruby1.8 (>= 1.8.7.357-1) but it is not installable
             Depends: rubygems (>= 1.2) but it is not installable
             Recommends: passenger-doc (= 1:4.0.20-1~raring1)
             Recommends: crash-watch but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

and here is where I have been stuck for the last couple hours.

Are you making progress?

Packages for Ubuntu 14.04 are still work in progress.

We estimate maybe a week. It could take longer if we run into
unexpected problems.

Hi Christopher, did you manage to solve it? I have totally the same problem:

... 

nginx-extras : Depends: perlapi-5.14.2 but it is not installable

                Depends: libgd2-noxpm (>= 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg) but it is not installable or

                         libgd2-xpm (>= 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg) but it is not installable

                Depends: libperl5.14 (>= 5.14.2) but it is not installable

                Recommends: passenger (< 5.0.11) but 1:5.0.10-1~precise1 is to be installed

...

Thanks,

Marcell

Those messages usually indicate that you added the repository for the
wrong distribution.
