That workaround fixed the problem for me too - turns out the image I was working with already had gamin installed. Purging gamin also removed lighttpd, then re-installed lighttpd produced the following:
Setting up lighttpd (1.4.35-4ubuntu1) ... Job for lighttpd.service failed. See "systemctl status lighttpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. invoke-rc.d: initscript lighttpd, action "start" failed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453463 Title: undefined symbol: FAMNoExists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lighttpd/+bug/1453463/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
