Hi! It's a known issue http://chimpler.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/installing-and-comparing-mysqlmariadb-mongodb-vertica-hive-and-impala-part-1/

Much simpler: echo 6.0.7 > /etc/debian_version /opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica echo 7.1 > /etc/debian_version That assumes you're running 7.1. I think modifying the code is a license violation, but there's something in there about running it only on approved OSes, so maybe this is too? Cheers, Ben

Hi! 1. It's isn't code - it's a config file 2. It's file of OS not Vertica's, you do nothing to Vertica code/package/files. Vertica can restrict you in support, but nothing else.
