dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

Can you please provide your installation procedure ?
Meaning: versions of packages and order in which you're trying to install them.

I've encountered same issue when installing foreman 0.42 or 1.0rc1 on Debian 6.0.

As a workaround packages needs to be installed in following order:
  1. apt-get install puppet puppetmaster git-core
  2. apt-get install foreman-mysql
  3. apt-get install -t squeeze-backports puppet puppetmaster

Hi Deniss,
I simply followed your instruktions "Debian-Ubuntu installation by packages" on http://theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/Debian-Ubuntu_installation_by_packages .
I`ve tryed to install it on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and then appeared the dependencies errors.
Trying out your workaround above ends with dependency errors again at the end of foreman-mysql installation:
Errors were encountered while processing:
foreman
foreman-mysql
I`ve taken the stable packages repository (deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ stable main)

Try installing from testing.

Today I've re-installed newer puppet + puppetmaster (2.7+) and then foreman-mysql and dependecy error is gone.
