Description of my issue

Hi,
I want to upgrade my yunohost to 11.x and Debian Bullseye.

I face what seems a familiar problem: libc6-dev : Breaks: libgcc-8-dev.
I thought this had been resolved for latest 4.4.x versions but maybe I got it wrong. There are some instructions to follow for similar issues in this forum but I’m not quite sure of what has been done or not, so I prefer directly ask for help.

Please find the logs here:

Description du problème

Bonjour,
je cherche Ă  faire la migration Bullseye et yunohost 11.x.

J’ai un problème libc6-dev : Breaks: libgcc-8-dev.
J’ai vu qu’il y a des problèmes similaires aux miens, et je pensais que la mise à jour en 4.4.2.14 devait faire l’affaire… mais apparemment non. Comme j’ai du mal à avoir de la visibilité entre ce qui a été corrigé sur ce bug et les commandes recommandées sur le forum pour les problèmes similaires, je préfère demander de l’aide.

Voici les messages de log:

Merci.
Thomas.

In that log, naively what seems to be blocking the upgrade is libglib2.0-0 and other related libs, which seems to be related some to some graphical environment…

So first I would try to apt remove libglib2.0-0 --dry-run and see how that goes

Also mautrix-whatsapp explicitly depends on g++, which is probably causing issues too :

mautrix-whatsapp-ynh-deps : Depends: g++

Thanks @Aleks for your answer. It seems that this is chaining to other problems:

Hi @izakis , thanks for your help.
I’ve been through both steps of your post, but it doesn’t solve my problem.
First I cannot remove libc6:
https://paste.yunohost.org/oyucuvoyuf.sql
You can see the result of apt-get update and apt-get upgrade below:
https://paste.yunohost.org/nuzasuvedo.pas

Also, strangely enough, in my admin page, tools, migrations, it says that migration 21 has been done and no migration is pending… but it also says that my yunohost version is 4.4.2.14

And when I try to update my system in the admin page, I have a error with suggestions to run sudo apt install --fix-broken and sudo dpkg --configure -a, but unfortunately this doesn’t help.

6

I don’t mind much about this application, so I can remove it first if this is causing problems.

7

Hello thomas
just leave the libc6 you will not be able to uninstall it anyway i just tried to remove it on my own server and doesn’t allow to be purged as well, i don’t know how to the other guy did blame me for ruin his system,

please try this command and update what’s happening
apt-get dist-upgrade -f

then try this as well:
apt update && apt dist-upgrade -f

that should help, if not update me i will tell you how to get broken dependencies list form the log and paste here

8

thanks @izakis for the follow up.
No possibility to go further. I paste the log here:

https://paste.yunohost.org/otevagukan.sql

9

remove the libgcc-8-dev
sudo apt-get remove libgcc-8-dev

after that DO
THIS ONLY → apt-get dist-upgrade -f
NO UPDATE,

that should help tell me what’s happening

by the way i just did check my server i don’t have libgcc-8-dev installed i don’t know why its there, maybe cause it was in use on buster

@thomasarsouze
no you dont need to remove them all

you are on buster as i understand the solution supposed to be simple

please install back the libgcc-8-dev
sudo apt-get install libgcc-8-dev

and then install dpkg it depends on
sudo apt-get install gcc-8-base

after that run the command:
sudo apt autoclean

reboot by:
reboot

then try
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade -y

and tell me when you done

12

thx @izakis for helping me with that… sorry this requires so many questions / answers. I’d like to be more independant on this but I fear braking things even more badly.

We still need to get a bit further.

@thomasarsouze

try to upgrade the gcc cause according to the log its older < than what it should be
sudo apt-get install gcc-9-base libgcc-9-dev libc6-dev

14

Then let’s try to go down the rabbit hole:

sudo apt install libglib2.0-0- yunohost python3-dbus rspamd equivs --dry-run

@Aleks : thanks for your input

Hi @izakis. Thanks for your suggestion.
It looks like installing gcc9 is possible (and even partially done):

admin@xxxxxxx:~ $ sudo apt-get install gcc-9-base libgcc-9-dev --dry-run
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
gcc-9-base is already the newest version (9.3.0-22+rpi1).

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libgcc-9-dev
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 297 not upgraded.
Inst libgcc-9-dev (9.3.0-22+rpi1 Raspbian:stable [armhf])
Conf libgcc-9-dev (9.3.0-22+rpi1 Raspbian:stable [armhf])

but I still have issues with libc6-dev

17

Eeeeh note that my proposed command contained a - suffix after libglib: sudo apt install libglib2.0-0- [...] meant to tell apt to remove that package, but install the others

(But anyway sounds like the root of the issue is with the libgcc-8-dev / libc6-dev hell …)

18

Arf, yeah sorry. I ran that but I thought this was a typo because I saw libglib2.0-0 showing in dependancies problems… Anyway, here it is:

Hm my bad, libglib2 seems important, the problematic one seems to be rather libgirepository-1.0-1 (and python3-gi maybe)

So let’s try instead:

sudo apt remove libgirepository-1.0-1 --dry-run

hello thomas

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
do this after you tried aleks suggestion as the a plan B if nothing goes right,
don’t try this till aleks haven’t any suggestion for you anymore,
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

just got here sorry for the delay,

now while you success to set gcc-9-base please try to forces upgrade,
straight up to bullseye
the problem is there are some in between dependencies what is unknown to the system
that’s what happening when people wait too long before they upgrade linux,

linux is not windows what have a stable corporate company behind who take care everything,
in linux in one day its stable tomorrow its obsolete and unstable,

i suggest you will try something i did try in the past and was working for me, even though finally i deleted that version of yunohost and did reinstall bullseye, straight up downloaded a new iso file, cause i remember that i successfully upgraded the OS but the yunohost version number on the admin panel did stay the same even it was telling me it successfully upgraded,

you need bear in mind you’re not messing with yunohost you’re messing with an old version of distro what is not supported anymore,

so lets try something else that is not dangerous whatsoever,

go to the console
do super user
sudo su
type:
cd /
cd /etc/apt/
cp sources.list sources.list.backup
now we just created a backup of sources.list
make sure you have that backup and cp (copy) command did work
type:
ls
and check if you really have a file called: sources.list.backup
ok,
now type:
nano sources.list
the sources.list will be opened

change all references from buster to bullseye,
any word “buster” you see change to bullseye

image
image919Ă—454 34.7 KB

save the file, by control+S on your keyboard,
exit by control+x
reboot your machine,

and try the commands in this order

  1. sudo apt update
  2. sudo apt dist-upgrade -y

that is not risky at all but worth trying,

in that case you should get all references and bullseye repositories to be available and if there are any obsolete dependencies what don’t know what to do with such “futuristic” packages will be upgraded,

we can always bring back the system to same state or change it back to buster source.list
you don’t need to take any farther steps to upgrade cause we did install gcc-9-base already.

just update what’s going on

Do you think I can safely run without the --dry-run ? What would be the next steps then ?

@izakis : I was giving a look at your solution, and I don’t know why (did I did this ?!?) but:
