Hi,
Someone with the nickname "Nurav" pinged in #linaro-lava IRC channel last week regarding installation problem to install lava in jessie using the jessie-backports repository. The person also diligently followed up with me to check what is wrong with his/her installation on private messages. I did find sometime to do the testing today. Since, I do not know any contact details of 'Nurav' I am writing my findings here, based on lava installation I did on fresh jessie containers, hopefully the person is available in this mailing list and will see this message.
The fresh installation went fine with both jessie and also using jessie backports and LAVA production-repo. I ve put up the complete log of the installations I tried in the following files:
* Fresh installation of lava from jessie-backports - http://people.linaro.org/~senthil.kumaran/logs/lava-jessie-bp-installation.t...
* Installing 2017.5 lava from jessie to jessie-backports to production-repo - http://people.linaro.org/~senthil.kumaran/logs/lava-jessie-bp-installation-2...
HTH. Thank You.
