Hi @OCX,

There is no general issue I am aware of and our tests all pass, plus, this package has not been updated in a rather long time:)
That said, to debug it, please edit:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/kaltura-dwh.postinst
change:

#!/bin/bash -e

to read:

#!/bin/bash -ex

And then run:

# aptitude install -f

and let’s see where it fails exactly.

Thanks,

Dear Jess,

I managed to deploy dwh correctly, it was a typo misconfiguration

Thank you
