Hello, I was installing the ERPNext on a virtual box and while i was following the instructions and when i run this:
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server-10.3
i get an error saying

Some packages could not be installed. This mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been created or been moved out of incoming.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
mariadb-server-10.3: Dependes: mariadb-client-10.3(>=1:10.3.15 + maria~xenial)but it is not going to be installed.
E: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

what should i do to fix it ?

@SaronT,

it will be better that you use simple command like

sudo apt install mariadb mariadb-server

this would be enough to install the latest version of mariadb server with all dependencies … try this… it will work…

i am still getting the same error

you could try this before the mysql…

sudo apt install build-essential -y
sudo apt install software-properties-common -y

Otherwise a manual install might be required
