Error installing on ubuntu

[#1]

Hi,

I am trying to install using the cloudera manager installer. It is failing with the following error:

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.cloudera.com/gplextras/ubuntu/precise/amd64/gplextras/dists/precise-gplextras4/Releas... Unable to find expected entry 'contrib/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

dave

I just tried installing Cloudera Manager with the same steps on a new Ubuntu 14.04 host and it worked fine. Are you able to look into the files in /var/log/cloudera-manager-installation and see what might be the problem? You can post the problematic logs here as well and we can try to assist

This is a bit baffling. I created a new Trusty VM, installed CM with
the .bin installer and it went through fine. I checked my apt
repositories and there was no mention of Wheezy. Note that Wheezy is
Debian and Trusty is Ubuntu. The .bin installer would not add the
wheezy bits to /etc/apt

Are you using an older machine/vm for this experiment? Can you check
all files under /etc/apt to see if the wheezy repositories are
present?

I found this : https://groups.google.com/a/cloudera.org/forum/#!topic/cdh-user/U2eJ8tZnPos

and changed the cloudera.list second entry by adding [arch=amd64] to make the file look like this

# packages for Cloudera Manager, Version 5, on Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64
deb [arch=amd64] http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/cm trusty-cm5 contrib
deb-src [arch=amd64] http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/cm trusty-cm5 contrib

Now there is a slight difference in the error message.

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/debian/wheezy/amd64/cdh/dists/wheezy-cdh5/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'contrib/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/universe/i18n/Translation-en Hash Sum mismatch

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Hope that helps.

Can any one help me with this error?

[#9]

Is this a fresh Ubuntu installation? I am not able to understand how a repo
for Wheezy (Debian) was added when the OS is Trusty (Ubuntu)

Are you able to track down where the wheezy repo is present and disable it?
Then try again.

[#10]

looks like i had Wheezy repo on from some earlier instal. I removed it and it worked. sort of. I am now stuck at another error much further down the line. I will hunt around for the solution or open another thread.
