getting Error while installing mongodb in linux

Question

   The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mongodb-org-mongos : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.1) but it is not   installable
 mongodb-org-server : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.1) but it is not installable
 mongodb-org-shell : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.1) but it is not installable
 mongodb-org-tools : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I am getting this error even i did update the repo: sudo apt-get update

also i did check if there any broken packeges with: sudo apt-get check

step i took to install mongodb in linux: 1) sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5

2) echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian wheezy/mongodb-org/3.6 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian wheezy/mongodb-org/3.6 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list

3) sudo apt-get update

4)sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

but still getting the same error. how can i solve this?

Answer 1

In my case, I'm using Linux Mint 17 -> Ubuntu 14.04 and I was installing with Ubuntu 16.04 resulting in this conflict.

Check your Ubuntu/Debian version - the wiki is a useful resource - before trying these commands.

If that doesn't solve it then run

sudo apt purge mongod* 
sudo apt purge mongodb* 
sudo apt purge mongodb-org* 

That should remove any inconsistency and then go to https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ and follow the procedure.

This resolved the issue.

I'm also getting the following error while installing MongoDB

 mongodb-org-mongos : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not 
 installable
 mongodb-org-server : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not 
 installable
 mongodb-org-shell : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not installable
 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Here is the solution for this kind of issue Use the following command

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish-security main" | sudo 
tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/impish-security.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1

Answer 3

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1

After adding libssl1.1, follow mongoDB installation manual
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/

I guess this is the problem that you are facing. enter image description here

The following packages have unmet dependencies: mongodb-org-mongos: Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not installable mongodb-org-server: Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

You can try the following steps to install mongodb in Ubuntu at any version:

 sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Now you may get the error like above screenshot. Try the following steps:

 wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1\~18.04.20_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.20_amd64.deb

Now, mongodb is ready to be installed. Run the following installation command again:

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

To check Mongodb version, run the following command:

mongod --version
