I am trying to install an NFS server on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine but everytime it gives me an error like this:

david@machineA:~$ sudo apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

nfs-common is already the newest version.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 nfs-kernel-server : Depends: nfs-common (= 1:1.2.5-3ubuntu3) but 1:1.2.5-3ubuntu3.1 is to be installed

  Yeah, the required and provided package versions only differ by one minor Ubuntu patch number. Looks like something what would happen intermittently. The version number is up to 1:1.2.5-3ubuntu3.2 now btw.

  Try updating at least a 2nd time. If that doesn't/didn't help, download nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server manually in the latest version for your architecture from launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/nfs-utils and install them with dpkg -i.

Try running the following commands in this order:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

This will basically force the package cache to be updated, as well as upgrade other system utilities.

A problem you may be having is that you're specifying nfs-common, which gets the latest version. IIRC, apt will fulfill all dependencies (versions included) automagically, but forcing the install of nfs-common installs a too-new version of it.
