I recently changed my home server over from a dedicated Debian box to Xenserver, and in the process virtualized a Debian machine. Originally, with SAB I never had any issue getting it installed and running. Now, I can't get it installed, let alone functioning to save my life.

This is all via SSH, mind you.

I try:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus

And get this:

Code: Select all


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package sabnzbdplus is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'sabnzbdplus' has no installation candidate

Poking around the Internet, I turn up nothing - I figure not that big of a deal, I'll just install form source.

Download the source package, satisfy all the dependencies, and now after running

Code: Select all

python SABnzbd.py

And get a terminal hanging at:

Code: Select all

I cannot access the configuration page via my web browser on my host machine (IE the one I am SSHing into the server from) nor can I get to it from a w3m browser from within an SSH terminal. The only thing w3m brings up is the standard home page of SAB, but the links go nowhere (results in "cannot find //), and I have no functionality.

What the heck? I love using SABnzbd but I can't get it installed for the life of me. Anyone have any ideas?

Any news on this?

I am running into the same issue (no installation candidate):

Running Debian Squueze:

apt.conf:

Code: Select all

APT::Default-Release "squeeze";

source.list:

# also add urls for other releases which is possible now since we set the default release to squeeze
# now we can upgrade some of the packages (i.e. transmission) to testing.

I also tried to install from different Debian version, but no succes:

Code: Select all

apt-get -t unstable install sabnzbdplus

Do I really need to repeat myself?

Sorry, thought you meant that to install sabnzbdplus you should have "contrib and non-free not enabled".

I will try the other way around tonight.
