Hello!
I just tried to install ejabberd on a ubuntu server 6.06 that runs in text only mode.
As erlang seems to have dependencies to x11-common, the packet ejabberd installs x11-common.
How can I install ejabberd without the x11-common to keep text-mode-only installation status?
apt-get seems to have no command for ignoring dependencies?
Will I have to install all pakets by hand usind dpkg?
Thanks!
Use the binary installer or
Use the binary installer or compile ejabberd from source, and file a bug report to the maintainer of the Ubuntu Erlang package with the wish to split the Erlang package.

It does not depend on X11-common. X11-common is merely a dependency of a

I dont understand that - th eubuntu ejabberd package works fine, I do not have to compile it on my own.
I just wunder how to solve this x11-common dependency problem...
This means that there is a
This means that there is a package that ejabberd is recommended to be installed with that has a dependency for X11 and this way it is forced.
If you don't like it then I would recommend a manual installation, or just install X11 and change the runlevel so the server starts in text mode in any case. It is just hd space right?
