Cannot install dotnet-sdk-2.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 #1822

JerryBian · 2018-07-28T02:54:27Z

fail to install latest dotnet-sdk on Ubuntu 18.04.1

I just tried to install latest dotnet SDK 2.1 on fresh clean Ubuntu 18.04.1, well, it fails and I didn't find solution yet.

Details

I followed the official tutorial https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/get-started-with-dotnet-tutorial, under Ubuntu 18.04 section.

Any idea?

@mateti - your apt-get update output is suspicious as package.microsoft.com is not listed among the hits.

@JerryBian - do you have any preview versions installed? There was an issue with previous packages getting in the way of dependency resolution. You can check this with apt search dotnet | grep installed

JerryBian · 2018-07-31T00:49:17Z

@leecow thanks for you reply, but it seems something is still wrong.

It should not has any previous version installed, since I downloaded latest version of Ubuntu from their portal and then followed your tutorial installing dotnet SDK then, nothing else did.

Do you need anything I check for you besides above?

P.S. my Ubuntu is server version, instead of desktop(GUI), though I couldn't see what's difference might be.

leecow · 2018-07-31T22:59:19Z

So the fact that liblttng-us0 is not being presented to you is the problem. Looks like the package is probably in universe amd 64 which I don't see in your apt-get "Get" list. Here's the archive list I have on a pretty clean box with the default ubuntu repos active in /etc/apt/sources.list.

JerryBian · 2018-08-01T13:31:18Z

Thanks very much, after I enabled universe repository everything is good.

joshfree · 2018-08-01T16:22:16Z

I'm glad this resolved the problem @JerryBian

@leecow should sudo add-apt-repository universe be added to the install instructions (or as a comment) for Ubuntu 18.04?

https://fabianlee.org/2016/09/18/ubuntu-enabling-the-ubuntu-universe-repository/

leecow · 2018-08-01T16:29:46Z

@JerryBian, was Universe deliberately removed at some point? Don't think I've ever seen a default setup that didn't already include that.

@joshfree - Possibly as a general comment to the Linux Prereqs and Setup pages?

JerryBian · 2018-08-01T22:17:38Z

@leecow Actually no, I just tried reinstall Ubuntu Server 18.04.1(ubuntu-18.04.1-live-server-amd64 .iso from portal) and I didn't find any step allow me to setup repository or something like that during the installation. After installed successfully, I checked that APT source list, and universe is not there just like before.

@joshfree Exactly, I executed that command before installing dotnet SDK.

leecow · 2018-08-01T22:55:10Z

Thanks for the extra info @JerryBian - we'll note the need to look for this in Server image scenarios.

alokraj68 · 2018-10-05T12:50:25Z

Still having same issue.

dbegg35 · 2018-10-18T17:39:23Z

I'm having the same issue when trying to update to the current version from dotnet 2.1.302 on Ubuntu 18.04.1. I have "universe" repository added. I tried installing dotnet-runtime-deps-2.1 with the following result:

From what I can find, libicu55 has been removed from 18.04 and moved to libicu60

karelz · 2018-10-18T19:34:43Z

@bartonjs @wfurt can you help here please? We test Ubuntu 18.04 in our CI, so there should be a way to make it happen ...

armand1m · 2018-10-28T11:06:11Z

I manually downloaded libicu60 from this url https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libicu60/download

Installed it with dpkg -i libicu60_60etcetc.deb
then ran sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-2.1 and it worked.

SYNTAXDZ · 2018-11-02T10:47:23Z

@JerryBian , can you please try installing dotnet-runtime-deps-2.1 and dotnet-runtime-2.1 package separately and share the log here?
that worked for me, thanks

jerryno6 · 2018-11-03T03:50:51Z

thanbks @SYNTAXDZ , follow your suggestion, it said that

dotnet-runtime-deps-2.1 : Depends: libicu55 but it is not installable

after that, I installed libicu55,
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libicu55

and then install net core
sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1

Now, I had dotnet core running on Ubuntu Server 18.04.1

@thedon-chris : we are discussing this in
dotnet/core-setup#4724 (comment)

I think you should follow this.

Thanks for the information in that thread, it helped to resolve my issue. The issue appears to have happened when I upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04. My dotnet core package version was still pointing at Xenial instead of Bionic. I tried completely removing the dotnet core Xenial package and installing the Bionic version but it did not work. I ended up manually editing my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/msprod.list to point at bionic which resolved the issue.

Hello I had the same issue with dotnet-sdk-2.2.
Problem:

Unable to locate package aspnetcore-runtime-2.2
Couldn't find any package by glob 'aspnetcore-runtime-2.2'
Couldn't find any package by regex 'aspnetcore-runtime-2.2'

Solution:
Skip all instructions from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/linux-package-manager/ubuntu18-04/sdk-current

cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list.save /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.2

The command sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb is renaming microsoft-prod.list to microsoft-prod.list.save
