Updates broke Lighttpd

@Peeteris said in Updates broke Lighttpd:

sudo apt-get install lighttpd.

I did that just a few minutes ago and I don't have any issue:

   * URL rewriting
   * authentication (plain files, htpasswd, LDAP)
   * transparent content compression
   * conditional configuration
   * HTTP proxying
 and configuration is straight-forward and easy.

and this:

sudo systemctl status lighttpd
● lighttpd.service
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Did you check if you have any extra repositories added ?

Peeteris

@mitu Seems normal to me. Are there any odd one?

grep ^[^#] /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

This repository contains a libssl version that's conflicting with the one distributed by the Raspbian repos. Remove the repository and try re-installing libssl again, then check if lighttpd works.

@mitu Removed the repository.
But I can't install the necessary version:

@Peeteris You need to re-install it.

apt update
apt install --reinstall libssl1.1

@mitu :/

@Peeteris You need to learn how apt/apt-get/dpkg work. Did you run apt update before trying to re-install ? Post the output of

apt-cache policy libssl1.1

BuZz

Or use after apt update useaptitude install on lighttpd and go through the options when you get the dependency issue and choose to downgrade SSL.

Looks like I have to brush up also on some advanced apt options :).
You can try @BuZz's suggestion, but aptitude is not installed by default on a Raspbian lite.
Try forcing apt to install the Raspbian version:

sudo apt install --reinstall libssl1.1=1.1.0l-1~deb9u1

You are the best!
Both of these solutions would work out (tried 1st one without answering yes, but it would downgrade libssl and install lighttpd).
I used the @mitu one and then installed lighttpd.

Thank you for being so helpful and knowledgeable. :)
