Kenyon Ralph created an issue   Puppet / PUP-11432 Debian package versions don't allow for clean upgrades Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2022/01/22 10:37 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Kenyon Ralph Please use Debian package versions that sort properly across Debian releases. Currently, when upgrading from Debian 10 buster to Debian 11 bullseye for example, the buster package versions are higher than the bullseye versions, which means you have to manually upgrade these packages: % apt policy puppet-agent puppetserver puppetdb puppet-agent: Installed: 7.14.0-1buster Candidate: 7.14.0-1buster Version table: *** 7.14.0-1buster 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 7.14.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.13.1-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.12.1-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.12.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.11.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.10.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 7.9.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages puppetserver: Installed: 7.6.0-1buster Candidate: 7.6.0-1buster Version table: *** 7.6.0-1buster 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 7.6.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet all Packages puppetdb: Installed: 7.9.0-1buster Candidate: 7.9.0-1buster Version table: *** 7.9.0-1buster 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 7.9.0-1bullseye 500 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet amd64 Packages 500 https://apt.puppet.com bullseye/puppet all Packages For example, replacing the codename ("bullseye") with the numerical version ("debian11") would solve the problem.
