I do not represent Purism, but I look here occasionally for issues I may have. I see this issue is quite old now.

I guess this is changing. I found: 0001-general-Remove-option-to-bypass-delete-confirmation.patch. I guess I will look for a new File Manager that lets me work the way I wish. Thanks.

Please help me to understand. Why would an upstream change be reflected in Purism's version, but not Debian 11 (bullseye) at the same level?

BTW, though I do not know what caused this, I am glad it happened. I had 86 updates awaiting that I never knew about.

I was finally able to make this work by erasing repo.puri.sm_pureos_dists_amber_main_binary-amd64_Packages in /var/lib/apt/lists and then doing the 'apt update.' I am not sure why this did not work by simply doing apt update, but it seems to have gotten stuck somehow.

Jeremiah, you were correct. There is a difference in versions, but I do not know why my apt database has a different one, i.e. python-libxml2_2.9.4+dfsg1-7+b3_amd64.deb. I tried to purge it and get the new listing, but to no avail.

As I mentioned in my initial post, I already tried the 'update' and the --fix-missing, so your commands yield the same errors as I have mentioned before. Have you checked that the file is actually on repo.puri.sm?

No. The package does not appear to be in the actual repos (repo.puri.sm), even though 'apt' and your link say it should be there.

This is what I see for that command:

Thanks. I understand there is a transition here. I will close this, but

I do not work at Purism, but I suggest using the Forums for this and your other question. There are lots of really good folks there, and I know some Purism employees read the posts too. You might get more and faster responses. Tracker is really for bugs.

I am sorry that did not help.

You may want to check and track this post. It may be related to your issue.

I think this is the same problem that has been mentioned before and was never fixed. You might wish to start here for more discussion.

This looks like a duplicate of tracker item. You might wish to check there, but there has been no resolution that I have seen. I too uninstalled it.

This may not be your issue, but there are problems with add-ons for Thunderbird 68. (I am not sure from which version you are updating, for example.) From the release notes, one unresolved issue is:

Can we assume that today's update (6/17) for the cryptsetup packages to 2.1.0-5 does not address this issue? I have marked all those as 'hold' for now.

Thanks. Those two packages just became available and it works now.

I just updated my system (PureOS - all updates on Librem 13v3), and "Software and Updates" does not work. From Tilex:

This has been a problem since late last year. You may want to follow this tracking item.

If you have not already, you may want to look at /etc/resolv.conf and see if any nameservers are there. Many moons ago, though not on Linux, I had a vpn that would create new dns data. When it crashed, I could not get out of my local system because the it was trying to use the vpn-created entries and had no clue. I had to undo the changes before things would work again.

I was commenting on a PureOS forum topic, and I discovered the same error when using Software->left application icon->Software Repositories. My system log file displayed the above stack.

I believe this is the same problem as T660. In my case, this application does not launch. Fortunately, I do not use it very much.

As a user, I support this opinion. I think Kodi was the first thing I ripped off my Librem when I received it. I try to keep only what I need or may need.

I am closing this issue. It appears to be fixed today. Thanks.

I have not seen Thunderbird version 60 in green since it appeared in buster and PureOS main in November. My understanding was that green was the proper update repository.

Please read my post prior to Jonas's. If @user22492 does not comment by Friday, I'll close this. I was giving him a little time.

FYI, the same messages appear in the Applications Log when launching "Applications->System Tools->Software & Updates" from the GUI. The stack is just inverted:

This problem appears to be fixed with the update I made on 1/13/19. python3-libapparmor now has python3 << 3.8 and I am able to install this package. Above, I provided a link for a LibreOffice issue where this package was needed for debugging. That LibreOffice issue seems to also be fixed with this update.

Thank you for this information and assistance. You make a good point on downloading the file. As paranoid as I am, it had not occurred to me, though I was really thinking in terms of editing my own file.

@jeremiah.foster, if the changes to the profile are few, could you post them so we can modify our profiles? Thanks. (And thanks for your post on this issue about the rolling release aspect in the forum topic.)

Please note the following append for LibreOffice Calc not starting (sigh).

I do not think there is a problem with either DuckDuckGo, without a more information, or the Purism Forums.

@jonas.smedegaard, if you meant for me to do so, I do not mind opening a new task for the Purism Forums. I think, however, others are better equipped to do so and would have more detailed debug information to write in the comments. But is it necessary? Part of my point was that indications from CanvasBlocker and others are not necessarily showing that anything nefarious is happening, though it may be worth noting.

Here is another data point on fingerprinting in DuckDuckGo.

Thanks. I understand now.

I do not understand your last statement.

I think the problem in general is that python3 was upgraded to 3.7 and several packages are dependent on python3 being less than 3.7. (Note the "Depends" line above. hplip also shows python3<<3.7 if one runs apt show on it.) I have the same problem with apparmor-utils and opened a new task, not having previously looked at this one. I noticed hplip--I don't use it to my knowledge--was also uninstalled for me on 12/20. This was the same update with python3 going to 3.7. Unfortunately, I am dependent on a Purism-modified package for python3-libapparmor. (The one in buster shows python3 << 3.8 as the dependency.)

I think Privacy Badger is already there. (apt list webext-*)

Terrific. I am glad that worked for you.

I use the following commands from a terminal prompt:

If you have not already, you may wish to make certain your system is current. There was a similar issue, but it was fixed in late August. Please refer to https://tracker.pureos.net/T502.

I am glad you isolated the problem. Having been a developer in a previous life, I was only thinking that maybe Mozilla fixed something that might have coincided with the updates.

It appears that 62.0.2 (not 62.0-2) was released today by Mozilla. When it is available in snap, you may want to try it to see if it fixes your problem.

This may be fixed with today's (9/16) update. gnome-screenshot itself was updated to 3.30.0 and appears to work for me.

I did the same and the problem still occurs, but I noticed that gnome-screenshot was not updated in the latest batch. (Now 9/15. Because of Florence, I did not login and update the past couple of days.) On my system, it is still 3.26.0-3.

This appears to work with the new kernel image and today's (8/26) update.

I would not. I regard the Forum as a discussion and the Task Tracker as a place for formal issues affecting multiple users. It is, however, good to include links to the Forum here.

FYI. This is not fixed by any updates this month, including the Linux 4.17.0-1 image update on 7/26.

I happened to see the last posts scroll by....

It does not look like I can change this to 'resolved,' even though I am the item's creator.

Thanks for addressing this problem so quickly!

There are now two threads in the Purism forum regarding these issues. In this post:

Going back, I did notice something that might be interesting. On the first reboot after the update, vt.handoff=7 is missing.

wellton reminded me....The 5/9 update was the upgrade to linux-image-4.16.0-1 pkg. I failed to explicitly mention that.
