Orangepi 3 LTS upgrade from Armbian 23.11.1 to 24.2.1 fails

[Timo12357]

I disabled Armbian kernel upgrades to stay at Armbian 23.11.1 until Armbian 24 stabilizes. Yesterday I unfroze the kernel upgrades to upgrade to 24.2.1. 

 

I run:
 

apt update

apt upgrade

apt dist-upgrade 

 

Apt update says All packages are up to date.

 

Quote

apt-mark showhold

 

shows nothing.

 

What did I miss?

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

Here you go:

I can't explain what you are seeing.  Are the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list correct?

Have you tried to use armbian-config to upgrade the kernel?

[Timo12357]

armbian.list:

deb http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/ bullseye main bullseye-utils bullseye-desktop

 

armbian-config says "No other kernels available"

I can't explain what you are seeing, as everything appears in order.  The only thing I'm going to suggest as a long shot, is that you are getting pointed to a mirror that for some reason isn't up to date (which shouldn't be the case).  Since I don't know where you are located in the world, you could try to update your armbian.list file to point explicitly to a different mirror (list is available here: https://github.com/armbian/mirror)

 

When I look at the mirror I get resolved to, I see the 24.2.1 packages in the bullseye repository.  I don't understand why apt isn't finding them for you.

So 24.2.1 does not require Bookworm to upgrade?

Bookworm is latest stable. You can only upgrade to unstable ... which is not recommended for production. You could upgrade kernels, but we don't provide them anymore for bullseye.

That is correct. This is the list of packages per distribution:
https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt/content.html

Bullseye only has some files, probably by mistake. It should be just empty as its not supported anymore. Change tags in armbian.list from bullseye to bookworm and update. Should be fine .... at least as far as from Armbian perspective. We can't vouch for packages that are coming from Debian repository as they might come into some conflicts between each other. This is the problem we observe on older releases and have no capacity nor wish to address.

Thank you !
