Dear Friends,
I made an attempt to install Koha on Ubuntu 14.04. I got following
messages after executing the command apt-get install koha-common.
I invite your help to interpret the message.

Hi,

I made an attempt to install Koha on Ubuntu 14.04. I got following
messages after executing the command apt-get install koha-common.
I invite your help to interpret the message.
Setting up libapache2-mpm-itk (2.4.6-01-1) ...
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Package libapache2-mpm-itk is not configured yet.

This appears to be the following bug in Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpm-itk/+bug/1286882

That bug report suggests a work-around.

Regards,

Galen

Greetings,

On another note, always check the wiki. I had already made sure the
instructions mentioned this problem in a later appendix:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Appendix_B:_Troubleshooting

Yes, it says Beta, but that was only a week or so ago. :)
