How to install Mosquitto or any MQTT broker for Armbian 19.10

[Janaboy]

Dear All,

 

I have a Beelink s905 box with Armbian (Ubuntu 19.10).

I have problems to install Mosquitto as it is required a package which i don't know how to install:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mosquitto:armhf : Depends: libwebsockets8:armhf (>= 1.6.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
 

I am okay to use another type of Mqtt broker but couldn't find a solution

I am searching for hours now..

 

Somebody has any ideas?

 

Thank you in advance

Did you try to

sudo apt update -y && apt upgrade -y

before you install mosquitto?

 

For the "broken packages" try

sudo dpkg –configure -a

or

sudo apt -f install

I have tried it now, but no changes

I suspect your problem is related to the fact that Ubuntu 19.10 was End of Life on July 17, 2020.  You would likely be better off by getting on a supported ubuntu release.
