Hi Bill,
it looks like you haven't done an "apt update" in a while, because the
version 14.1.0~s244 corresponds to the version from October 28th, while
the current version is 14.1.0~s247 from November 18th.
So you can try to do "apt update" and install the packages afterwards.
Cheers
So the apt-get update and upgrade went fine, or seemed to do, until I tried to
install some other packages, then I got an error message about needing
GLIBCXX. Turns out that is glibc++, and I don't know what happened.
Another thing I noticed during my recent upgrade, and again during this
reinstallation: apt seems to try to connect to a Debian server, even though I
have only Devuan repositories enabled. After a few seconds, it shows a Devuan
server, and all appears to be okay again, but I am left wondering what that
was about. Again, not sure if it's related to this issue.
This is why I resist doing upgrades sometimes. But I looked over my folders of
saved packages (which I date and sort), and I find that I generally have done
an upgrade about every month or two, so at least I am pretty regular.
When I did a fresh reinstallation of my system, I got a message that seemed
like it might relate to that problem:
apt-listchanges
glibc (2.31-13+deb11u4) bullseye; urgency=medium
I have not pasted the whole message, as I'm sure the developers are already
familiar with it.
Well, so now I am back up and running.
Bill
