Depends: mongodb-org-server but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mongodb-org-mongos but it is not going to be installed

Most likely you installed mongodb-org package, not mongodb. Try to uninstall it at first

sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*

Then follow the guide exactly step-by-step
https://docs.graylog.org/en/3.0/pages/installation/os/ubuntu.html#mongodb

Have you tried to install mongodb anyway? Be sure to follow the manual exactly as written.

Hello Karlis,

Yes i am 100% sure i am already follow the steps exactly what instructed there.

Yes “mongodb” is installed. Is graylog also working with mongodb insted of mongodb-org?

9

Oh, sorry, my fault, ‘mongodb-org’ is the right package. And, I believe, you shouldn’t have ‘mongo’ installed. At least I have only ‘mongodb-org’.

10

when i am searching for the error, in one link suggest, try to install mongodb and then try mongodb-org, then i was do so. Then mongodb is installed error free. But whenever i was tried for mongodb-org same error showing as mentioned above.

11

I still believe the problem is from both mongodb and mongodb-org installed. They can’t coexist.
Try to remove all mongodb packages completely, be sure nothing left behind. This can help (only removing, do not install anything in this step):


Run ‘apt autoremove’. Reboot, to be sure.
In /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ delete all ‘mongodb*’ lists.
Install mongodb-org, using manual from Graylog docs.
If that fails, have no idea.
