Some packages could not be installed. This may 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 moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zammad : Depends: elasticsearch but it is not installable or
elasticsearch-oss but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
In the debian package there is a dependency on elasticsearch. This is very unfelxible in my opinion.
Scenario 1: You want to use an external elasticsearch node.
That’s not really that rare, is it?
Scenario 2: You want to use an alternative search engine like opensearch, which might be the better choice for future opensource projects.
What do you think?
