I got to the last step of setting up iRedMail following DigitalOcean's iRedMail installation tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … -12-04-x64

The issue is that after getting to the last step, I receive the above error in terminal. How do I fix this issue?

Thanks for your time.

Re: iRedMail Broken Packages Error -- Tried to Reinstall Ubuntu 3 times.

As you can see on Ubuntu web site, Ubuntu 12.04 provides package 'apache2.2-common':
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/apache2.2-common

Do you have correct apt repositories for Ubuntu in /etc/apt/sources.list?

Re: iRedMail Broken Packages Error -- Tried to Reinstall Ubuntu 3 times.

Hello Zhang and thanks for the reply. If I need to upgrade Apache but want to stay with Ubuntu 12.04, does that mean I can't use iRedMail?

Here's my sources.list:

Re: iRedMail Broken Packages Error -- Tried to Reinstall Ubuntu 3 times.

I suggest you try it this way:

*) Install iRedMail first, and test it to make sure you have all services working as expected.
*) Upgrade Apache.
