I encountered a problem trying to install couchdb on my Ubuntu 14.10 (GNU/Linux 3.10.23-xxxx-std-ipv6-64 x86_64) server.

When I run apt-get install couchdb,

I've got the following mistakes : 

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
     couchdb : Depends: couchdb-bin (>= 1.6.1-0ubuntu4) 
     but it is not going     to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I followed a lot of steps found on the net to try to fix it, but nothing worked...

I hope someone will be able to find out what's going wrong...

Thanks

EDIT:

Here are the steps I have already done :

  • I tried to use Aptitude, but it installed Couchdb 1.0.1 instead of 1.6.1
  • I tried to remove completely the installation using "apt-get remove couchdb couchdb-bin erlang-base erlang-base-hipe erlang-solutions" But the result was the same.
  • The problem occurs when I add the PPA of couchdb to install the last version. If I remove the .plist, installation works, but it installs the 1.0.1 version.
  • I tried all the possible solutions to update apt-get or to clean it...

Do you think that if I update my Ubuntu 14.10 to 15 it could fix the problem ?

Updating my Ubuntu release worked (I upgraded it from 14 to 15.10 doing do-release-upgrade). Now I was able to install 1.6.0 couchdb version. Still have to look for installing the 1.6.1.
