Hi, standard upgrade on fully updated Debian Sid fails:

Is this some misconfig on my side?

Answering my own post: Debian Sid standard repositories now include incus (6.0.0-1) and thus the old zabbly repository is no longer needed. Due to some changes in repo structure it seems impossible to do a direct upgrade. Correct procedure (for me) was:

sudo apt remove incus
disable zabbly repo (sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbly-incus-stable.sources)
sudo apt update
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install incus Incus setup was apparently preserved across remove/install.

I hope this kind of workaround won't be necessary when incus hits Debianstable.

Ah yeah, mixing both the native packages and the extra repo will lead to interesting issues.

This is going to go away next month with Incus 6.1 as Debian will stick to 6.0.x, so the repo will have a higher version.

mcondarelli commented 7 months ago

I would suggest to modify the names on zabbly (e.g.: incus-live, incus-edge or something similar) to prevent confusing apt. Relying on release number to discriminate doesn't seem very robust.

antifob commented 7 months ago

I resolved this by increasing the priority of zabbly packages

# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/incus
Package: incus*
Pin: origin pkgs.zabbly.com
Pin-Priority: 999

Maybe ship such a file with packages to override the distros?

mcondarelli commented 7 months ago

Just my 2¢ IMHO having two different packages, containing similar things and having the same name is a recipe for disaster.

zabbly / incus
