problem with some stuff and proftpd after buster to bullseye full upgrade on server :(

[Jeff63]

Hello folks ^^)

I've upgraded a server from buster 10.10 to bullseye 11.0 and got a problem (two in fact)

- can't upgrade proftpd at all I've tried to deinstall it fully, clean, apt autoremove, purge etc reboot and reinstall but I get the same problem again and again... it can't be upgraded/installed.
here are the output I get (after all deinstall and cleaning, etc) :

next,
- I have two components that says needing an upgrade but can't be upgraded too :

- libojc4/stable 10.2.1-6 amd64 [upgradable from: 8.3.0-6]

if I do an 'apt upgrade' on this I get :

why ?

I still have a job lot to do on this server and need the proftpd to work.

[trinidad]

Proftpd is only a transitional dummy package in Bullseye.

https://packages.debian.org/buster/proftpd-basic
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/proftpd-basic

Install this: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/proftpd-core

Code: Select all

aptitude install proftpd-core

Add mods afterwards.

What does your sources list say and what are the contents of sources.list.d?

See 6 and 7. I need more coffee right now. You're making me think too hard.

Failed to enable unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/proftpd.service is masked.

Try to first unmask the service, maybe then you would be able to install proftpd-core.

Code: Select all

systemctl unmask proftpd.service

[Jeff63]

here are the results :

# systemctl unmask proftpd.service

Removed /etc/systemd/system/proftpd.service.

Is there a reason why you have

Ign:5 https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge InRelease
Hit:6 https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge Release

In your apt sources? It is possible that is what caused your dependency issues.

[Jeff63]

the reason is I use webmin and wants it auto updated.
there is nothing between webmin and the system itself, this only update webmin.

[Jeff63]

the problem is that all, including proftpd was working fine before the bullseye upgrade.

[trinidad]

I've tried to deinstall it fully,

This can cause remnant systemd services to point to /dev/null

TC

[Jeff63]

really ? there is no service running from a non running software. how can it be remnant ?
btw, this was way after the problem.

just to be sure, a proof :

SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
46 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

see ? NO proftpd anywhere.

NOTE : ah ? there is a 3.0 version is this why it can't be upgraded ?
what should I do ?
- I can't just deinstall it and install the v3.0 version so what do you suggest ?

for the second one, libojc4 it is currently installed in version 8.3.0-6 and upgradable to 10.2.1-6 amd64...
there was no new version between the 8.3 and 10.2 ??? answer there was : stable 9.3.0-22 amd64...
so why this one never been upgraded and 8.3 still installed and not upgradable ???

I'm very late to this party, but I just upgraded to Bullseye and had exactly this problem (I think).

Everything proftpd depended on proftpd-core starting, and proftpd-core wouldn't start because "Package proftpd-core is not configured yet."

Resolved by renaming the proftpd-core config file:

Code: Select all

root@headless:/home/dyl# mv /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf xproftpd.conf

And then reinstalling (without uninstalling) proftpd-core.

Code: Select all

root@headless:/home/dyl# apt-get install proftpd-core

usermod: no changes

The services then started fine with the new conf file, and I pasted in all the important custom bits from the renamed old file and restarted the service to apply changes.
