Installation opennebula-fireedge on Debian 11: dependency collision libnode72 nodejs

Community Support

I want to install package opennebula-fireedge.
This package has dependencies for:
libnode72
nodejs-legacy

However libnode72 and nodejs collide, means both packages cannot coexist.

$ sudo apt-cache depends opennebula-fireedge
opennebula-fireedge
  Hängt ab von (vorher): opennebula-common-onecfg
  Hängt ab von: opennebula-common
  Hängt ab von: opennebula-provision-data
  Hängt ab von: nodejs
  Hängt ab von: libc6
  Hängt ab von: libgcc-s1
  Hängt ab von: libnode72
  Hängt ab von: libstdc++6
  Hängt ab von: libzmq5
  Kollidiert mit: opennebula
  Empfiehlt: opennebula-guacd

This is a fresh Debian 11 installation using default repos provided by Debian and OpenNebula.

$ sudo apt list --installed|grep libnode

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

I cannot install package nodejs because this would uninstall packages libnode72 .

And I would conclude that this issue is affecting anybody who’s installing opennebula-fireedge on a fresh Debian 11.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. wget -q -O- https://downloads.opennebula.io/repo/repo.key | sudo apt-key add -
  2. echo "deb https://downloads.opennebula.io/repo/6.2/Debian/11 stable opennebula" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opennebula.list
  3. sudo apt update
  4. sudo apt install opennebula-fireedge

There’s no reply to this issue…
Does this mean, this issue is unique to my environment?
I can’t believe this based on the analysis I shared (e.g. package dependencies).

I had the same problem and I solved it by skipping the installation of nodesource repository. If this repo is in your apt sources, remove it and try the installation of fireedge again. Check this for further information: Unable to install opennebula-fireedge on Ubuntu 20.04 · Issue #5435 · OpenNebula/one · GitHub

Thanks for sharing this solution.
After removing repo with this content
deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_12.x bullseye main
the issue is solved and installation of package opennebula-fireedge finish w/o problems.

This means the documentation for installing software using 3rs party repositories is driving into this error.

Please note that Debian11 does not require any third party repository. In that regard, the documentation is accurate, since nodesource repo is only required for Ubuntu18.04.
