Hello.

Have you even tried that guide the OP posted the link to?

http://www.freeside.biz/mediawiki/index.php/Freeside:4:Documentation:InstallingOnDebian9

I think it is broken, or incorrect.


First, it tells you to "Add the following apt sources to|/etc/apt/sources.list|  (for Debian 9.x "stretch"):"

Done.
Next "Run|aptitude update|."
Done.
Next "aptitude install freeside freeside-lib freeside-webui"

Output:

So no, this seem to not be true, "The Freeside Debian packages typically have the proper dependencies" in this case.

Has anyone gotten it installed using that guide?

Thanks
