Re: [HTCondor-users] HTCondor 24.8.1 and 24.0.8 Released

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Joachim,

htcondor is a dummy transitional package the can be deleted. It has been in place since 2023. We figured that people would have transitioned to using the condor package by now. I guess that you proved me wrong. Please remove the dummy htcondor packages and upgrade the condor package.

Hi!

we're having trouble updating to the latest version on ubuntu 22.04.

It seems that condor 24.8.1 has a new package provided, but the htcondor package has no new version.
This leads to version issues:

 htcondor : Depends: condor (= 24.7.3-1+ubu22) but 24.8.1-1+ubu22 is to be installed

I can force it with

# apt install htcondor condor=24.7.3-1+ubu22

but that doesn't seem like something I should have to do..

Best,

- Joachim
