[Software] Fuse uninstallable on Sid

[2handband]

There appears to be an outdated dependency: libfuse2t64. Does anyone know if this is in the pipeline for a near-term fix, or should I implement a homebrew solution?

Moved to Testing and Unstable.

The library is present in Sid's repo's.
This is from my own Sid installation:

Code: Select all

i A libfuse2t64                                               - Filesystem in Userspace (library)                                   
i A libfuse3-3                                                - Filesystem in Userspace (library) (3.x version)

Here's my output:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 fuse : Depends: libfuse2t64 (= 2.9.9-8.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I think it's an outdated version problem.

I ran it with aptitude and got this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 fuse : Depends: libfuse2t64 (= 2.9.9-8.2) but 2.9.9-9 is installed

 libfuse2t64 : Conflicts: fuse (< 2.9.9-9) but 2.9.9-8.2 is to be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this appears to be telling me that I need an OLDER version of the library than what is available in Sid.

Looks like fuse is currently broken in Sid - the metapackage appears to be in transition.

I don't have the fuse metapackage installed but I do see the conflict in synaptic. fuse has a hard dependency on binaries that are no longer available.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fuse says there's an issue and I found this bug report that was opened yesterday - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... ug=1081537

503 on my package search! Is there a fuse3 also, and instead?

Yeah, I had to use synaptic to check versions. I don't have the metapackage installed but do use fuse for exfat. AFAICT the only thing that's broken is the metapackage. See the hard dependencies below? No wiggle room at all

fuse3 provides fuse since Bookworm. Is there still a reason to install fuse?

I found this bug report that was opened yesterday - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... ug=1081537

Thanks. fuse seems set to become a transitional package in Trixie.

In my Debian Unstable (SID) fuse3 installed by default.
