Can't install Zabbix in Ubuntu 20.10

[seanr22a]

I'm well aware of that latest official supported Ubuntu release is 20.04 but I thought I would give it a try on the latest 20.10

It seems like Zabbix depends on a old package ttf-dejavu that have been hanging around for a long time and has finally been removed in 20.10


root@gamil:~# apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-agent

Ubuntu says this package has been removed for good in 20.10 but I found the latest version of the dejavu-core and installed but it doesn't help.

Someone found a workaround ?

it's in the Universe repo

sudo add-apt-repository universe

Make sure it got added to repo and is enabled: grep ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list

apt update

Try running your Zabbix install again.
