Broken Hardy Packages

[Tom Hoffman]

I have Ubuntu Server Hardy (8.04.2) which came from a custom-install from the eBox Platform. When I try to install SchoolTool, I receive the following error:

root@ebox:/etc/apt# apt-get install schooltool-2009
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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  schooltool-2009: Depends: schooltool-common but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: python-schooltool but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: python-schooltool.stapp2008fall but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: python-zope.server but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Here is my sources.list:
#

rdy extras main restricted
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 8.04.2 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20090121.1)]/poo

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/schooltool-owners/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/schooltool-owners/ubuntu hardy main

Any advice on how to proceed would be great.

Please try `apt-get install schooltool-common` or similar to see what dependencies are missing.
I have seen packages refusing to install because they depend on python-central (>= 0.6.7) which is only available in hardy-updates dist, not hardy. Please try adding these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates restricted main multiverse universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates restricted main multiverse universe

And then see if you can upgrade

Thank you for your ideas. Here is the response from apt-get:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  schooltool-common: Depends: python-pastescript but it is not installable
                     Depends: python-paste but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

This is after adding the updates folder and running apt-get upgrade.

Thank you for your help!

I have found the solution to my problem -
I did not have universe selected to get packages from. Once I added that to
the sources.list everything installed.

Thank you for your help!
