unable to update to v11

[samwathegreat]

Anyone know why upgrade to v11 is being held back? When you attempt to upgrade via flightaware.com "upgrade and restart piaware", it stays on 10.2?

What platform are you running on? I have several systems running in different locations. the oldest, most reliable, and most remote happen to be running on Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) and that OS doesn't appear to be supported in by the most recent version.

I'm on Bullseye, which should be supported.

When you run apt list --upgradable, it shows the new versions!

When you manually run apt upgrade, it says some packages are being kept back...

I cancel the apt upgrade because I don't want to break it!

My primary tracker that does both ModeS and UAT is running Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie) on a Pi4 and updated fine using my console commands:

wget https://www.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/f/flightaware-apt-repository/flightaware-apt-repository_1.3_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i flightaware-apt-repository_1.3_all.deb
sudo apt update ; sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove -y

The update string is my standard update that tells it I want to update everything.

My unit is using the official piaware image. It was not installed on a base operating system. So I'm not sure how that changes things. I think I'll just wait a little longer...

We haven't completed the updates for the piaware-sdcard-image-specific packages yet, which is why you can't currently upgrade those sdcard images to 11.0. Those updates are currently being tested and shouldn't be too far away.

Having the piaware-related packages be "kept back" is normal and you should be okay to go ahead with the rest of that update for the other packages if you need to. It just means that there was e.g. a newer available version of the piaware package (11.0), but dependencies from the rest of the system meant that it can't be upgraded to the new version yet, so apt is going to keep that package at the old (10.2) version.

But there's also no compelling reason to upgrade immediately if you're on a piaware sdcard image -- 11.0 was mostly about getting the core set of packages available for trixie, so that package-based installs would work with the current Pi OS images.

Thank you very much for the explanation. This makes sense and good to know that there's no rush to get updated.
