aptitude errors setting up zoneminder

[gluppi]

Hi,

I'm new to the Raspberry PI and Raspbian.

I could successfully install the OS (latest available release on model B) via berryboot: the system is running fine.
But when I try to install zoneminder with aptitude I receive some errors (see attached screenshot).
How can I fix it?

Thanks a lot and cheers!

Screenshot appears to be missing. Did you "sudo apt-get update" (and, maybe, also "sudo apt-get upgrade") or the equivalent aptitude options. (Although I can use both apt and aptitude I tend to use their gui-based cousin synaptic which has additional capabilities when trying to find "interesting", "new" or "related" software esp. since I'm usually running Ubuntu on my netbook).

Yes, attachment was missing. I realized only now that the upload limit is only 64k. I've just uploaded the screenshot, but I had to make it smaller and I fear it is unreadable.

No, I didn't to apt get update nor upgrade because I freshly installed raspbian from the Internet and I thought it was up to date.

I'm going to update and upgrade and try again the zoneminder installation.

I would prefer synaptic, too. But when I tried to install it with aptitude, I got the same kind of errors that I got when trying to install zm.

Thanks for the moment.

Freshly installed Rasbian from the internet ?
as in you flashed the image from the Pi site ?
That is sure to be out of date.
always run an apt-get update before you install any software.

No, I didn't to apt get update nor upgrade because I freshly installed raspbian from the Internet and I thought it was up to date.

The image was up to date when it was created some months ago. Since then there have been quite a few updated programs released, but not enough to warrant building and releasing a new image.

So, you should always do an apt-get update at least if you haven't done one for a few days, and especially if you get messages about missing files.
