Suricata

I am not sure how this can happen.
The only way would be with the wrong tar.

I have uploaded anew build in our Suricata-6.0-test repo here
https://launchpad.net/~oisf/+archive/ubuntu/suricata-6.0-test/+packages
It will probably build and be ready in about 1hr for testing.

It seems in Jammy the pkg name is updated to have "1:" prepended.(which is different then the other pkg namings in Bionic/Focal for example)
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/suricata/1:6.0.4-3
Hence that package will always be considered newest.
I have adjusted our Jammy pkg name accordingly - new pkg available here, will be published shortly (about 1hr or so) in our testing repo.

The new package in suricata-test repos does not install properly. May be the dependencies problem.

What err do you get ?

When updating, it will delete the old version and the new version cannot be installed. Since it is my production device, I will not reproduce the error.

Thank you for the update.
I will try to dig in a bit more.
Alternatively if needed you can remove the existing version and explicitly install just the one from the repo. I tested this locally and it worked in the test setup.

It also seems suricata-update is a separate package in the Jammy imported deb pkg builds.

May be it is caused by the new implemented "Linux Kernel Runtime Guard".

That is still unfixed form before - i will push a patch this week.

The old version of suricata-update (1.2.2) is situated at /usr/local/bin/ while the new version of suricata-update (1.2.4?) is installed at /usr/bin/. When suricata-update is being updated, the old suricata-update cannot be overwritten correctly and it caused the installation program to quit.

I uninstall (remove) the old version of suricata-update at /usr/local/bin/ and the suricata can be installed (updated) correctly.

For your information.

When I try to reinstall suricata, it produces the same error.

You should first remove the previous 2 packages that make the conflict.

Thanks for the information. The problem is fixed.

First download the suricata package and then uninstall suricata and suricata-update. After that, install suricata package only as suricata-update is already included in the suricata package.

Can this be marked as closed or resolved, then?
