/etc/debian_version is still 12.0
/etc/debian_version is still 12.0
I have updated packages many times after 12.1 release, but I still have 12.0 in debian_version file. I tried to install today printer drivers but it couldn’t get the latest libcupsimage2 2.4.2-3 library on the server although there is 2.4.2-5 already.
How to fix the version? Is it possible that it breaks cupsimage installation?
So 12.1 is out but have you upgraded any of your packages yet? The
/etc/debian_versionfile comes from thebase-filespackage. On my up to date system, it’s showing12.1in the file and the package version is12.4+deb12u1as I can see fromdpkg -l base-files.Make sure to do an
apt updateand then do anapt upgrade -sto do a dry-run to see what packages would be upgraded. I’m guessing thebase-filespackage hasn’t been updated.I've upgraded packages several times. My base-files package has version
12.4. I've tried withapt updateandapt upgrade -sand I don't have any package to upgrade. Is it possible that the version is locked somewhere?I’m not aware of a way to lock an entire system to a major.minor version with Debian, only holding individual packages. What exact version is your
base-files? The full string matters.You could check to see if anything is held with
apt-mark showhold.It is possible that the mirror you have in your sources.list file stopped syncing so to your system is looks like it has no updates. What mirror is your system pointed at?
