Hi!

You have something very unusual going on in your system, as Logstash installs just fine for me on Debian and Ubuntu.

sed: can't read /etc/logstash/logstash.yml: No such file or directory
/etc/logstash/startup.options is not a file path

These lines indicate that the package did not install any files. The files were simply not found. I don't know if it was improperly downloaded or cached, or what, but it's certainly not working.

problem was in write access for some folders running under sudo.
