Installation failure: Unmet dependencies for Netdata nightly on Ubuntu 24.04

Help
1

I’m experiencing an issue while trying to install Netdata using the kickstart script on Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble). The installation fails due to unmet dependencies.

Command used: wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh

Error details: The system reports a version mismatch between netdata and its plugins:

  • netdata-plugin-chartsd depends on netdata (= 2.8.0-172-nightly) but 2.8.0-167-nightly is to be installed.

  • netdata-plugin-pythond depends on netdata (= 2.8.0-172-nightly) but 2.8.0-167-nightly is to be installed.

The version mismatch occurs because the nightly build system is publishing packages with inconsistent version numbers. The plugin packages (netdata-plugin-chartsd, netdata-plugin-pythond) are being built with a newer version (172) than the core netdata package (167), causing APT dependency resolution to fail.

We advise you to install using the stable release channel instead of nightly:

wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh ``https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh
sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --stable-channel

@microvax It might have been a temporary problem, can you try again?
