I am trying to run this command to install wsgi for python Flask:



sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3


I am getting this error:

libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 is already the newest version.

I tried many solutions to stop postgres such as:



sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql stop


2.



update-rc.d postresql off


3.



chconfig postresql off


4.



netstat -ntulp|grep 5432


5.



sudo service postgresql stop


All commands showing that I am being able to stop postgresql but when I run my command again to install wsgi, it gives me the same error again!!!

  • The problem is not that postgres owns a port, it's that the postgresql-9.5 package have been left in this state: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured and at this point apt will refuse to install anything until it's fixed. Removing the postgresql-9.5 package will probably solve it.
