freeradius 3.2.8 on debian 13 Trixie Depends libperl5.36 (>= 5.36.0) while libperl5.40/stable,now 5.40.1-6 amd64 is installed
Hi, In Debian 13, the stable freeradius is 3.2.7 and no update in the backports On the https://www.freeradius.org/ website, the recommended stable version is 3.2.8 There is a repo for debian 12 and for ubuntu 24.04 on https://packages.inkbridgenetworks.com/#fr32-debian-bookworm https://packages.inkbridgenetworks.com/#fr32-ubuntu-noble The procedure looks identical. I tried that procedure https://packages.inkbridgenetworks.com/#fr32-debian-bookworm root@radius:/etc/apt# apt install freeradius Solving dependencies... Error! 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: Unsatisfied dependencies: freeradius : Depends: libperl5.36 (>= 5.36.0) but it is not installable Depends: libfreeradius3 (= 3.2.8-2) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: freeradius-utils but it is not going to be installed Recommends: freeradius-python3 but it is not going to be installed Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Error: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions: 1. freeradius:amd64=3.2.8-2 is selected for install 2. freeradius:amd64=3.2.8-2 Depends libperl5.36 (>= 5.36.0) but none of the choices are installable: [no choices] root@radius:/etc/apt# root@radius:/etc/apt# apt search libperl5 libperl5.40/stable,now 5.40.1-6 amd64 [installed,automatic] shared Perl library root@radius:/etc/apt# I am now considering: what would be the best option: 1. install radius 3.2.7 on debian trixie from it's standard repository 2. install debian 12 and try to install radius 3.2.8 from the inkbridge repo 3. try to fool the 3.2.8 inkbridge debian package into believing that the installed libperl5.40 is libperl5.36 4. try to install freeradius 3.2.8 from the tgz on https://www.freeradius.org/releases/ on debian trixie 13 What do you suggest? Any issues that you had? Best regards, Joost

It would be nice to have everything up to date.
On the https://www.freeradius.org/ website, the recommended stable version is 3.2.8
There is a repo for debian 12 and for ubuntu 24.04 on
Yes, we haven't done Debian 13 yet. We'll add that to our "todo" list.
I am now considering: what would be the best option:
1. install radius 3.2.7 on debian trixie from it's standard repository 2. install debian 12 and try to install radius 3.2.8 from the inkbridge repo 3. try to fool the 3.2.8 inkbridge debian package into believing that the installed libperl5.40 is libperl5.36 4. try to install freeradius 3.2.8 from the tgz on https://www.freeradius.org/releases/ on debian trixie 13
Or grab the "tar" file on a Debian 13 machine, and then do `make deb`. It will create Debian 13 packages. That's essentially the process we use to create packages. Alan DeKok.
