Error executing action install on resource 'apt_package[postgresql-client-9.6]'

[ghost]

Hello!
When I try to install the box it returns an error due to a postgres-client dependency. Can you please help to solve it? Thank you.

Is this a new box or existing?

[ghost]

It's a new box, cloned this morning.

[josegonzalez]

Can you place the entire log output in gist.github.com and link me to it? I'll try setting it up now.

[ghost]

Yes. First there is an issue with git:

But if i vagrant ssh to the machine and apt-get install git manually, then postgres is the new issue (that I don't know how to solve). This is the link to the full log: https://gist.github.com/kifki/7fb3e9322b0d8c1c66ef3652aba2ce17

[josegonzalez]

Okay great, I see the git issue. I'll see if I can spend some time today fixing this, sound good?

Thank you so much!

Had similar problem this morning with new install.

==> default: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
==> default: postgresql-client-9.6 : Depends: libpq5 (>= 9.6.5) but 9.5.9-0ubuntu0.16.04 is to be installed
==> default: STDERR: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Since I do not have root access to install the required package manually, Just gave a shot by changing the postgresql-client version from 9.6 to 9.5 (in all recipe .rb files) fixed the issued for postgresql and proceeded.

Now an issue occured in rubygem (FFI gem) installation. Seems to be version conflict to me. Here is the full log for Ruby/FFI:
