[SOLVED] Raspbian (Debian 11) sources testing of HPLIP not identified therefore not upgraded from testing

floppy_stuttgart · 02-08-2023, 11:18 AM

According this https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation for upgrading hplip to the testing version
I changed the sources by adding

Quote:

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main

according https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hplip show 3.22.10 should be there.

rmadison hplip --architecture armel

Quote:

But I got that message

sudo apt source hplip/testing

Quote:

Reading package lists... Done
E: Can not find version '3.21.2+dfsg1-2' of package 'hplip'
E: Unable to find a source package for hplip

Has anybody an idea how to upgrade that hplip package to testing version?

Remark: 3.21.2 is installed
sudo apt install hplip

I guess there is something wrong with your apt sources. I use the following for testing:

Code:

% cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/testing.sources 
# Debian packages for testing
Types: deb-src
Enabled: True
URIs: http://deb.debian.org/debian
Suites: testing
Components: main contrib non-free

Also you should be looking for source packages with rmadison not binary packages since you will be building the binary yourself. Eg

Code:

% rmadison hplip --architecture source
hplip      | 3.14.6-1+deb8u1        | oldoldoldstable         | source
hplip      | 3.16.11+repack0-3      | oldoldstable            | source
hplip      | 3.18.12+dfsg0-2~bpo9+1 | stretch-backports       | source
hplip      | 3.18.12+dfsg0-2~bpo9+1 | stretch-backports-debug | source
hplip      | 3.18.12+dfsg0-2        | oldstable               | source
hplip      | 3.20.9+dfsg0-4~bpo10+1 | buster-backports        | source
hplip      | 3.20.9+dfsg0-4~bpo10+1 | buster-backports-debug  | source
hplip      | 3.21.2+dfsg1-2         | stable                  | source
hplip      | 3.22.10+dfsg0-1        | testing                 | source
hplip      | 3.22.10+dfsg0-1        | unstable                | source
hplip      | 3.22.10+dfsg0-1        | unstable-debug          | source

P.S. Please use [code] tags not [quote] tags, and also please include the full command that you run inside the tags.

Hi,

my only guess now is that the mirror that deb.debian.org points to for you is somehow out of date. Can you try another mirror?

Evo2.

P.S. [code] tags, not [quote] tags. Also don't use sudo with "apt source".

evo2 · 02-09-2023, 02:40 PM

Hmm, another thing to check

Code:

% apt-cache madison hplip 
     hplip | 3.21.2+dfsg1-2 | http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages
     hplip | 3.21.2+dfsg1-2 | http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main Sources
     hplip | 3.22.10+dfsg0-1 | http://deb.debian.org/debian testing/main Sources
     hplip | 3.22.10+dfsg0-1 | http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main Sources

For me.

Code:

     hplip | 3.22.10+dfsg0-1 | http://deb.debian.org/debian testing/main Sources

This is strange. Even though you specify "/testing" it seems to be looking for the version that is in stable.

I'd suggest asking in #debian on irc but since you are running raspbian you may not get any help.

floppy_stuttgart · 02-10-2023, 07:58 AM

Is there a way to download differently the sources of hplip since "sudo apt source hplip/testing" is not working?

trying few things from there https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/d...ce_of_archives

Code:

sudo apt-get install -t testing hplip
Reading package lists... Done
E: The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

Probably not.

I'm pretty sure cash changed hands for RasPi OS and I imagine Debian keep their side of the bargain. But the bargain is with raspberrypi. Raspberrypi don't give an <expletive> about linux or open source, but debian a much better option than windows, and cheaper too.

My experience with that OS is that if you want to do anything, you need to install another distro. I'm using one of the 2 slackware Aarch64 clones, slarm64.

sudo wget https://packages.debian.org/bookworm...g0-1_armel.deb

downloaded the deb package. Is it a way to go further and now just to install the deb package? how?

If you really want to you can try to install with

Code:

sudo dpkg -i foo.deb

As already mentioned you might want to consider ditching raspbian and using proper
Debian instead. I have a pi and did exactly that a couple of years ago.
See https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi

You can download by hand (webbrowser, wget etc) or use a tool like dget.
