Hi @Ilya

since our dependencies for Icingaweb2 have changed, this behaviour is to be expected. Check out this article on debian-administration.org for more information. The obvious solution would be to execute apt full-upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade, which would upgrade all packages to their current versions.

If this isn’t an option due to other packages being unwantedly upgraded, I suggest using one of the following commands for your OS, which will explicity upgrade the packages to the version named in the command - the current one for this case.

Debian 10 Buster:

apt install icinga-php-thirdparty=0.11.0-1.buster \
icinga-php-library=0.9.0-1.buster \
icingacli=2.11.0-1.buster \
icingaweb2=2.11.0-1.buster \
icingaweb2-common=2.11.0-1.buster \
icingaweb2-module-doc=2.11.0-1.buster \
icingaweb2-module-monitoring=2.11.0-1.buster \
php-icinga=2.11.0-1.buster

Debian 11 Bullseye:

apt install icinga-php-thirdparty=0.11.0-1.bullseye \
icinga-php-library=0.9.0-1.bullseye \
icingacli=2.11.0-1.bullseye \
icingaweb2=2.11.0-1.bullseye \
icingaweb2-common=2.11.0-1.bullseye \
icingaweb2-module-doc=2.11.0-1.bullseye \
icingaweb2-module-monitoring=2.11.0-1.bullseye \
php-icinga=2.11.0-1.bullseye

Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa:

apt install icinga-php-thirdparty=0.11.0-1.focal \
icinga-php-library=0.9.0-1.focal \
icingacli=2.11.0-1.focal \
icingaweb2=2.11.0-1.focal \
icingaweb2-common=2.11.0-1.focal \
icingaweb2-module-doc=2.11.0-1.focal \
icingaweb2-module-monitoring=2.11.0-1.focal \
php-icinga=2.11.0-1.focal

Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish:

apt install icinga-php-thirdparty=0.11.0-1.jammy \
icinga-php-library=0.9.0-1.jammy \
icingacli=2.11.0-1.jammy \
icingaweb2=2.11.0-1.jammy \
icingaweb2-common=2.11.0-1.jammy \
icingaweb2-module-doc=2.11.0-1.jammy \
icingaweb2-module-monitoring=2.11.0-1.jammy \
php-icinga=2.11.0-1.jammy

Hope that helps & have fun with the new version!

Hi,

i was just upgrading a debian 9 to debian 12 (I know - big step, of course I did it in little steps ^^).
However, I am having issues with icingaweb2-dependencies.
@htriem do you maybe have the working versions also for bookworm? This would be VERY helpful…
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Otto
