system-user-grommunio not upgradable on Debian (12)

eryx

Heyho,

I tried to upgrade the system-user-grommunio package on my Debian 12 installation. Unfortunately it is not upgradable, because it has an dependency on the package system-group-gromoxcf, which is not available.

Is this intended? Will the system-group-gromoxcf package be available soon?

Sollte wohl wieder passen

Noticed that too :-).

It's all in one package btw, apt show system-user-gromox

Provides: system-group-groindex, system-group-grommunio, system-group-groweb, system-user-groindex, system-user-grommunio, system-user-groweb

EDIT: A way to fix it -> https://community.grommunio.com/d/1510-debian-12-package-gromox-held-back/4
Of course not like that because it was a version number increase but basically the same thing

Hmm... in the postinst is also some reference to a system-user-grommunio.conf for a systemd-sysusers call which is completly missing... /o\

so… no dice here.

I had the same issue....
Looks to me that the package dependency has been removed, but there was a reason for that dependency. Now the install script tries to create update the user with a group that is not available.

Easy to fix by reinstalling the previous version of this package.

Care to elaborate on that? I actually don't know, how to get the info on what the preveious version of that package was and how to install that one. More over, will that help resolve the issue with updating to the current one?

Now it's absolute mischmasch

@sbudach: I use aptly to maintain my own repository mirror. This makes it easy to revert to earlier versions. You might check your /var/cache/apt/archive, if you can find an older version there.

@crpb: You set this to "fixed" earlier in the thread, but the issue is still there up till now.

Thanks - I looked at the cache folder, but could only find these… probably, because I haven't updated Grommunio in a while…

Maybe someone else has still access to a package newer than the one installed on my node?

I don´t believe that there are newer packages around currently.
For me, dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/system-user-gromox_4-1_all.deb fixed the issue.
Of course, you would run in to the same hassle with your next apt upgrade. You may avoid that, if you set system-user-gromox to hold.

eryx

there is now a 9-1 version of system-user-grommunio and system-user-gromox and those now work and fix the issue.

Thanks a lot!

weini

confirmed, 9-1 solves the issue.
