Package linux-libre being kept back
Dear Trisquel community,
On Trisquel 9, I usually update like this:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
But lately I get the message that linux-libre is being kept back. Why is that?
According to Synaptic, linux-libre 5.19.2 is installed and 5.19.6 in available. If I right-click the package and select properties (in Synaptic), then it says that linux-libre conflicts with linux-libre, and is dependent of linux-libre.I get the tip to choose force version, but that also comes with a warning.
Does anybody haze the same experience or tips on how to solve this?
What you're encountering is the package transition I initiated
http://www.fsfla.org/pipermail/linux-libre/2022-August/003496.html
Do this:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
You should then see the package manager prompting about the removal of the package called freesh-keyring, the installation of freesh-archive-keyring, and otherwise updating the kernel packages.
Thanks jxself!
Unfortunately this issue has returned.
Do the same thing:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
$ sudo apt update

"Could not resolve 'linux-libre.fsfla.org'"
That's the problem right there. For some reason your computer isn't able to complete a DNS lookup to get the IP address of linux-libre.fsfla.org in order to even make a connection to the server. This isn't actually a problem with the repository or packages but seems to be some sort of DNS or networking problem on your end.
