install keeps failing

[desynch]

alright.. so this is the first time i've posted here, so go easy on me.

anyway, pretty much what the subject says. i don't seem to know what's wrong, or what is causing it to fail while trying to install.

Checking whether the package dependencies are resolved.
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

i've ran apt-get -f install, but it just wants to remove packages from plesk. even if i tell it yes, it still fails on install. can anyone help me out?

ok, so i think i might have gotten past that finally. i went to try installing plesk 9 again via web-installer, but it said it was already installed.

it's also spit out a few more errors, so if anyone could give me a hand, that would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem

I have the same problem with a clean server install, Why will Parallels not help us?

Hi I've had the same problem, but have managed to find a way round it...

I think it was caused because I set a password for mysql on install...

To get round this I've created the following in /root/.my.cnf

[Client]
password = mymysqlpassword

then I ran

apt-get -f install

and all seems to be ok now

Hope this helps someone else!

Damn... Thanx a lot... I'm fighting since yesterday to install it !!! That's stupid :-( They could do it in a script, or at least, tell to do it :-(

Try installing it through the parallels yum repo. You can add it with:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/plesk |sh

and then

yum install "psa*"
