perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["D'Angelo, Cas (Samuel)" <>]

Hi Andres,

You may want to review this page http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_small_node_details.html  which suggests the perfsonar-testpoint or perfsonar-tools bundles for low cost ARM platforms.  If these also fail, I suggest that the odriod build doesn't have the expected packages built for the platform.  You may be able to point the odroid installation at another apt repository (such as Ubuntu's arm repository), however there is likely a reason odriod didn't include these packages.... (hardware incompatible, increased load, memory requirements, etc)

Subject: [perfsonar-user] problems with light clients

 

Hello everyone, I have started a test project with light clients (odroid-XU4) to install a monitoring system in the network that I manage. However, when I try to install the perfsonar toolkit it generates the following error:

root@odroid:# apt-get install perfsonar-toolkit

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

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:

 perfsonar-toolkit : Depends: perfsonar-core but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

any suggestions?

Note1: the install is based on: https://odroid.in/ubuntu_18.04lts/ 

Note2: the installation procedure is based on: http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_debian.html

Thanks!
