Missing packages - sudo, gnupg, lsb-release

[hermann-san]

Hi there,
i've just installed Consul democracy on Debian Bullseye (from Ubuntu server 20.04) and I had some issues with missing packages on Bullseye. After I've installed them, the installer continued

/etc/sudoers file missing - with deploy user entry

missing packages
sudo
apt install sudo
gnupg
apt install gnupg
lsb-release
apt-get update && apt-get install -y lsb-release && apt-get clean all

There are also a few warnings regarding Postsgresql (further down below). I haven't looked into that yet

Hi, @hermann-san 😄.

i've just installed Consul democracy on Debian Bullseye (from Ubuntu server 20.04)

I'm not sure I understand this statement 🤔. How exactly are you installing Debian (first time I hear about a Debian distribution coming without sudo 😮)? Are you installing it on Ubuntu using Docker or something like that?

[hermann-san]

Hi @javierm Javi
it's Debian (debian-11.7.0-arm64-netinst.iso) on Proxmox in a LXC Container. That's where Consul is installed.

I'm using a Ubuntu 20.04 server VM with Ansible to run the installer from.

So there are 4 issues that caused the installer to stop.

1. missing sudoers file with "deploy" user entry

2. missing sudo package

3. missing gnupg package

4. missing lsb-release package

5. postgres warnings (installer didn't stop)

So maybe the above issues are a LXC container specific things then

[javierm]

@hermann-san The postgreSQL warnings happen on every platform. The missing packages seem to be LXC container specific since they're usually installed by default.

We could change the installer to install these packages anyway. The only tricky one is the sudoers file, since currently the first thing we do is adding a user, and for that we assume that sudo is already installed 🤔.

Thanks for reporting!
