Debian installation error

[Jimmy_Sand]

Hi!
I'm trying to install Logstash from online repository. Source added and key added too.
Successfully downloaded and unpacked.
When setup tries to set up logstash there many errors. I already spend 2 days for diggin it - no answers.
Any help any suggestions?

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.
