I had possibly a similar problem, except that I got more information about the installation failure each time I used sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and then zoneminder attempted to complete its installation: Then I saw the error was "no database zm". I checked apache and mysql and they were both running fine. Check mysql with mysql-admin.
So I removed zoneminder using sudo apt-get remove --purge zoneminder which cleaned up the bad install, then installation of zoneminder worked! Took a lot of time, since there was a big chmod that ran on all the old events that I had on my disk. Perhaps this helps. -- zoneminder error on install from synaptic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
