Bug Description
System: Ubuntu version 14.04 on AMD-64
Steps to reproduce: $ sudo apt-get install couchdb
Expected: CouchDB version 1.6.1 installed.
Actual: Blocked because couchdb-bin can't find the virtual package erlang-abi-15.b.
Cause: The latest version of erlang-base (1:18.1) does not provide erlang-abi-15.b, on which couchdb-bin depends.
Workaround: Downgrade erlang-base to 1:17.4 by using aptitude and rejecting its first suggestion.

To post a comment you must log in.
Update: The conflict has to do with erlang-base and whether it's manually installed.
Here is a better workaround. Instead of using aptitude to downgrade erlang-base, remove all traces of couchdb and erlang, then install couchdb.
Rough sequence of steps:
* apt-get remove couchdb couchdb-bin erlang-base erlang-base-hipe erlang-solutions
* apt-get install couchdb
After doing this, erlang-base will not be installed, and a bunch of other erlang packages will be installed at version 1:16.b.3.
