Mintupgrade to 20 requires for downgrading packages #65

Closed 4braincells closed 8 months ago

4braincells commented 1 year ago

I am on my way to mint 21, but have 19.3 I already removed unimportant stuff like skype and teams from the repo list, but I am UNABLE to downgrade mysql as required by mintupgrade. This blocks my whole work. I need newer glibs bu cant upgrade cause mysql blocks the upgrade.

Some idea how I can trick mintupgrade before I get crazy and do a complete reinstall of the machine (which wil not be Mint then...)

Some of these make absolutely no sense, e.g. mysql, cause: /etc/monit/conf.d$ sudo apt install mysql-server Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done mysql-server is already the newest version (8.0.27-1ubuntu18.04). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

the rest might kill other apps, but they are of minor importance (jenkins, monit, apcupsd, domoticz)

Could you show me the output of apt policy and inxi -r?

Could you show me the output of apt policy and inxi -r?

didnt get noticed of this comment... :-/

carlosmintfan commented 8 months ago

Okay, I see you have many 3rd party repos which could block the upgrade. At which stage does mintupgrade fail? Int the "Phase 1: Introduction" or after the second?

carlosmintfan commented 8 months ago

Don't go crazy, I'll try to help you best ;)

4braincells commented 8 months ago

Don't go crazy, I'll try to help you best ;) I won't go crazy, I'm too old for that :-p

This "can" is from the time when it was my secondary desktop, so most of the shmodder can be deleted.

I dont care for the Microsoft/Citrix/remmina/skype/google BS on this machine, zabbix is already deleted. openhab stuff can also go ... dont know what sury is. veeam doesnt work anyway, so I maybe delete it anyway and reinstall

What has to remain untouched should be mysql, postgres, jenkins, monit, bind9.

just wonder who brought mongo to here :-D

so, except mysql, everything can be wiped.

mintupgrade check output:

!! ERROR: The following 3rd party repositories were detected. Disable them and refresh your APT cache.

carlosmintfan commented 8 months ago

Ah, I overlooked you're using the old mintupgrade tool (as required for the 19.3 > 20 upgrade, you'll get a graphical one for 20.3 > 21) But the error in the "Checking your APT packages" phase - did you get that after - bypassing the "Checking your APT repositories" phase??

carlosmintfan commented 8 months ago

As for the error with disabling the 3rd party repos, I could send you a hack tomorrow how to bypass that (if you haven't already done that). Another solution could be backing up the database files (maybe not really necessary, but to be sure), then disabling and removing the 3rd party mysql etc. repos, downgrading/removing the packages in mintsources under the Maitenance page and reinstalling everything after the upgrade…

4braincells commented 8 months ago

AFTER REMOVING mysql.list temporarily, following package problems remain:

I do not think that it makes sense to clean that mess up. So I have a tendency to make a clean installation.

Just have to decide now if it gets mint, ubuntu or naked debian.

Jeremy7701 commented 8 months ago

Suggest LMDE6 as this is Debian clothed in Cinnamon.

Suggest LMDE6 as this is Debian clothed in Cinnamon.

hm. this is an old i5 quadcore/16GB box which does its job. Despite I used it for citrix sessions with a customer, it ihas been and is mainly a build server. I had decided for Mint because of easy installation.

But see the mambojumbo I have to do to migrate 18.4 to 21 ... only because 18.4 is "incompatible" with mysql 8. I mean this is a self-made and rather superfluous dependency with no reason except to support DAUs. I need the freedom to install any package in any version and not be fined if I want to upgrade the system without reinstall

So, I have a tendency to simply use naked Debian + xfce. For the rest, APT and my remaining 4 brain cells must do the job :-D

But I am open for arguments ...

carlosmintfan commented 8 months ago

Well, that's all upstream stuff, so it shouldn't be mint that is to blame ;) Usign newer package versions from 3rd party repos of packages that exist (as older versions) in the standard debian/ubuntu repos are a typical cause for upgrade failure. It shouldn't be very hard to clean that mess up:

  1. Backup all important databases in /var/lib of the packages you're going to downgrade
  2. Disable ALL 3rd party package sources
  3. Open mintsources (the software sources tool)
  4. Go to maintenance in the sidebar
  5. Click on 'Downgrade foreign packages'
  6. Downgrade everything
  7. If that works, you can upgrade
carlosmintfan commented 8 months ago

And if you decide to upgrade, I'd recommend you to restore your 3rd party repos only after you've done all upgrade steps (to 20, to 20.3, to 21 and, if you want, to 21.3) (and appropiately change the codename 'tricia' in them to the last release you're upgrading to).
