Question

I try to install galera on ubuntu 14.04 system. It has already got mariadb and it's working. How can I install it?

my command :

sudo apt-get install -y rsync galera-3 mariadb-galera-server

it gives error

rsync is already the newest version.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mariadb-galera-server : Depends: mariadb-galera-server-5.5 (= 5.5.46+maria-1~trusty) but it is not going to be installed

Answer 1

Try using aptitude instead of apt-get. It is more intelligent. It not only will handle downgrading conflicting packages for you, but will make a series of recommendations asking you which of many possible suggested working scenarios you would like. e.g.

sudo aptitude install rsync galera-3 mariadb-galera-server

If you don't have aptitude on your machine yet, get it with

sudo apt-get install aptitude
