Hello Admin,

While upgrading the petasan version from 2.6.1 to 2.8.1 encoutered this package dependency of  grub-efi-amd64-bin where is throws below message

Petasan : Depends : grub-efi-amd64-bin (= 2.04-2ubuntu26) but 2.06-2ubuntu14.1 is to be installed.
I did remove the package and reinstalled it and that dependency is resolved,

But my question is  will this have any implications at the reboot. Since it is a package related to the GRUB ???

Thanks in advance.

Have you installed any additional software manually ?

Nope, There were no softwares or applications installed manually. The only  action i had performed was uncomment these below repository before the starting the upgrade of petasan.

# multiverse universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security multiverse

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

We are upgrading from version 2.7.1 to 2.8.x (following the update guide). We encounter the same issue while running the command 'apt install petasan'.

We performed the update on a test cluster first, this before we update our production cluster. We would like to clear this out before we update our production cluster.

Thanks!

dpkg -s grub-common | grep Version
apt-cache policy grub-common
apt list --upgradable | grep grub

Strange it does not show version 2.06 which was causing the conflict error.

what is the result of last command

apt list --upgradable  |  grep grub

if it is empty, make sure you first run

apt update

I installed an old 2.6 from iso and found the issue when trying to perform upgrade. It seems it is a certificate authority cert issue that needs to be updated. The existing CA package was dated 2018. It was preventing access to the PetaSAN https repository.

To fix:

apt install ca-certificates

Then do apt update to include the PetaSAN repository.

This only affects 2.X and not 3.X. If you confirm this fixes it, i will update the online upgrade document to include this step for 2.X.  3.X update does not rely on user typing commands but fetches an update script we post online, so we can include such fix transparently in future when certificates require updating.

Hello,

I can confirm that the following sequence of commands worked for me on the test cluster (starting from version 2.7.1 and updating to 2.8.1).

apt update
apt install ca-certificates
apt update
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" upgrade
apt install petasan

Thanks for the assistance and the fix!
