Describe your issue

In the process of migrating Yunohost from v4.4 to 11, the system requires first to update ssowat (from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2) and yunohost (from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3). Unfortunately the repository is missing and returns error 404 as illustrated in the log below.
Furthermore, if I try to force the migration, it fails, requiring first to upgrade the components.
Is there an alternative server with old yunohost packages ?

Thanks for your reply.
Just to let you know, I have modified some tools script, to skip the system upgrade and successfully upgraded to 11.

Hi!
Well done, could you post your solution here so that other users in the same situation can benefit from it?
I had the same issue 2 days ago and I would have liked to have it before I resetted my server ^^

Hi adalanerd, unfortuantely the modified script has disappeared with the upgrade. As far as I remember, I searched for the cause of the error message. It was “migration_0021_system_not_fully_up_to_date”. This is located in the file /usr/lib/moulinette/yunohost/data_migrations/0021_migrate_to_bullseye.py. I added the two failing components (ssowat and yunohost) to the lime2_hold_packages list and that’s it.
