Upgrade Warnings / Re: Warning: util-linux/2.40-6 has serious error

I had checked after the initial posting to see if it was already „too late“ for me. util-linux was already installed in the latest version. I then installed util-linux-extra additionally and without any problems. No package had to be removed etc.

I am therefore also of the opinion that we are not affected.

Glad it's clear. I did mention that issue with holding util-linux-extra in the original post, but not clearly enough.

As has been said, this is probably not relevant to us (actually, since hendrikL said it, it's a definite), but there's a fix being developed and it just seemed more prudent for me to wait a little while. But then, I am a coward.

OK, thanks.

My problem came from the fact that I have put on hold  util-linux-extra because of the bug report :

Code: [Select]

b1 - #1069064 - util-linux-extra: insufficient Replaces for util-linux due to /usr-move
I was confused because I haven't understood the discussion about "upgrading from bookworm". It is clear now.

hi lanig,

What is the outcome of 'apt full-upgrade fdisk+ partitionmanager+'?
You can also use apt dist-upgrade <foo>+'.

Both are installed here™.

from the bugreport
[...]
util-linux-extra gained the utils ctrlaltdel, fsck.cramfs, fsck.minix,
mkfs.bfs, mkfs.cramfs, and mkfs.minix. In util-linux-extra, these now
reside below /usr/sbin while they used to reside in /sbin in util-linux
in bookworm and earlier. Hence upgrading from bookworm to sid can cause
these files to be lost.

So we are already on sid not bookworm and before!
I do not think, that will affect us.

In case you're updating, make sure you're not updating this just yet (though putting it on hold caused even more worry with fdisk and others to be removed). It's being looked into now. I suggest waiting a while.

Thanks.  Problem solved.

I  installed samba.  Sheesh!  I was trying to solve the problem by seeing it as far more complicated.  I thought samba was already installed so I didn't even think of that.  Always check to see if the machine is plugged in before you do anything else, right?

Sorry for the bother.  Samba in, network up, flame on!

How did you connect to it in the past? There shouldn't be anything unique to Siduction that would prevent a connection other than maybe install the software required but I doubt that. There are several protocols that can be used such as sshfs, smb, fuse etc but if your already familiar with one it would be best to start there. I don't know what the NAS uses or has available.
