After a fresh install of ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.iso, installing the 5.1.7 packages fails because python is not installed:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of foundationdb-server:
foundationdb-server depends on python (>= 2.6); however:
Package python is not installed.
Installing python now complains that there are unmet dependencies, and that I should run the command sudo apt --fix-broken install command. When I run that command, then it automatically install python27 then fdbserver.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python : PreDepends: python-minimal (= 2.7.15~rc1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python2.7 (>= 2.7.15~rc1-1~) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libpython-stdlib (= 2.7.15~rc1-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Iām not sure if having to literally type āfix broken installā as root on Ubuntu 18.4 is standard protocol or what, but I find this a bit weirdā¦ ???
Anyway, after that, fdb is running fine, but I was just wondering if 18.4 is different from previous LTS versions on that regard, and maybe the Getting starting on Linux page should be updated for 18.4?
Full install log below, run right after the installation completes.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
