Hi, I like to install zm (latest release i think) to Raspberry4 (4gb ram) with Buster.
I followed the wiki page to add what's needed to the source list.
During the installation i receive following error
************************************

I have already Apache2-PHP7 and Mariadb running

How can i resolve this problem

Thanks

I have this installed on Raspian Buster on a pi 4 and it runs very well.

Follow the Debian nstall procedures on the wiki. If you have done that and still have issues, especially with the held packages message, try running apt dist-upgrade, then apt update. This should install any held back packages and get you the latest release of Raspian. Then try reinstalling zoneminder.

If you are not comfortable with changing /etc/apt/sources.list, you should probably stick with 1.32.3 in the official Raspbian repos. More advanced users can try changing from raspbian to debian repos which have more up to date ARM packages for the RPI than the Raspbian repos. Note that I haven't actually installed 1.34 on RPI, so this is conjecture. Try at your own risk (Debian 10 & 1.34 on x86 however, does work so compatibility with arm is likely - just not guaranteed).

I cannot recommend sticking with 1.32.

We don't need to edit sources.list... just cutnpaste this into a command prompt:

sudo echo "deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.34 buster/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zmrepo.conf
wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/ar ... eyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zoneminder

Or try out the shiny new raspbian image I have put at https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com

Another option you have is to load Ubuntu on the Pi. There is an image for Ubuntu 20.04 via the Rasbian flash tool. I had ZM 1.34.10 on 20.04 the other day. 64 bit version!

Your output looks very similar to the dependency issues I was having.

These steps may help (or commenters may offer improved advice):
