Puppet / PUP-11432 Debian package versions don't allow for clean upgrades Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2022/01/22 10:37 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Kenyon Ralph Please use Debian package versions that sort properly across Debian releases. Currently, when upgrading from Debian 10 buster to Debian 11 bullseye for example, the buster package versions are higher than the bullseye versions, which means you have to manually upgrade these packages: % apt policy puppet-agent puppetserver puppetdb puppet-agent: Installed: 7.14.0-1buster Candidate: 7.14.0-1buster Version table: *** 7.14.0-1buster 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 7.14.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.13.1-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.12.1-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.12.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.11.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.10.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.9.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages puppetserver: Installed: 7.6.0-1buster Candidate: 7.6.0-1buster Version table: *** 7.6.0-1buster 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 7.6.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet all Packages puppetdb: Installed: 7.9.0-1buster Candidate: 7.9.0-1buster Version table: *** 7.9.0-1buster 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 7.9.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet all Packages For example, replacing the codename ("bullseye") with the numerical version ("debian11") would solve the problem.

Re: Debian package versions don't allow for clean upgrades Thoughts about this morgan? Is there something that needs to be updated in vanagon or our build automation?

I understand that "me too" is not too productive kind of comments.. but we just hit the issue too after buster -> bullseye migration. Could you please adjust the package naming for future releases?

Re: Debian package versions don't allow for clean upgrades

hi,  same here, know that you can use the version NAME but after a ~.  Like mydumper for exemple Version: 0.12.7-3~buster the part after the tilde will not be an issue here.   if not you'll have dpkg: warning: downgrading puppet-agent from 6.28.0-1buster to 6.28.0-1bullseye Preparing to unpack .../220-puppet-agent_6.28.0-1bullseye_amd64.deb ... Unpacking puppet-agent (6.28.0-1bullseye) over (6.28.0-1buster) ...   best regards, Ghislain.
