APT installation of DataBank failsdue to VersionConflict error
--------------------------------------------------------------

Key: DATAFLOW-360
URL: http://dataflow-jira.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/jira/browse/DATAFLOW-360
Project: DataFlow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: DataBank
Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Reporter: Mark Johnson
Assignee: Anusha Ranganathan


I attempted to install Databank on a clean Ubuntu server.
I added the debian repository according to the instructions at http://apt-repo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/databank/

After running {{apt-get install databank}} and going through the debconf screens, the installation crashed with the following error:

{noformat}

Anusha Ranganathan resolved DATAFLOW-360.
-----------------------------------------

Resolution: Fixed

Fixed version conflict in packages during installation.
Pushed the new debian package (version 1.0.2) to http://apt-repo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/databank/

Steps to uninstall the broken databank package and install this version:
sudo apt-get purge databank
sudo rm -r /var/lib/databank
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install databank
* It would be good to give it the same password for the database during installation. Otherwise, you will need to do this manually.
* See section III https://github.com/dataflow/RDFDatabank/blob/master/docs/Databank_VM_Installation.txt#L65 to create a database and user in mysql
* Section V point no.4 describes adding this to the ini file https://github.com/dataflow/RDFDatabank/blob/master/docs/Databank_VM_Installation.txt#L188
* Once this is done, restart Apache /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Anusha Ranganathan commented on DATAFLOW-360:
---------------------------------------------

Also, version 1.0.2 has an added feature - the properties of the manifest.rdf are represented as a hash when reading the dataset information in application/json
