"tasksel: aptitude failed (100)" installing LAMP on Ubuntu (vagrant)

  • 772
vagrant@precise64:~$ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
tasksel: aptitude failed (100)

I'm hoping to get a LAMP server from a clean install of ubuntu. All the googles suggest tasksel, which going into a pretty ascii gui, downloads stuff, then dies with this message.

I'm guessing I should try doing it via apt-get of the individual packages but seems a fair chance somebody else is going to search for this error message and want the right answer.

  1. aptitude failed because it is out-of-date or some such. Ensure you're open to the internet and

     sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

    then try tasksel again.
