JQ error with Bullseye

[RSickenberg]

Hello,

The issue is the same for me on a raspbian:

[RSickenberg]

Apparently, this is due to bullseye release who is broken ...

[deHakkelaar]

Sorry, my mistake mixing two issues.
Have deleted my initial reply.
@RSickenberg, please create your own thread as your distro major release version is different.

[jfb]

Please upload a new debug token. Your original token expired in 48 hours.

[deHakkelaar]

EDIT: I moved below edit up here because its the most likely candidate for your issue if it shows pinning of the jq package
Maybe you've also got some pinning going on.
Whats output for below?

grep . -R /etc/apt/preferences*

Also the sources.list file is missing the rpi component but is of less importance:

pi@ph5b:~ $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free rpi

Did you alter the sources.list file in the past or maybe some extra software installed that did this?
If not, that could be an indicator for a corrupted file.

Can you try run below one first and see if it runs without errors or warnings?

sudo apt update

If it runs without errors, what does below one show after?

apt policy jq

And what does below one show?

file /etc/apt/sources.list

And because its a Pi, could you check below?

Network drops almost daily. Rebooting pi-hole fixes it. What's wrong?

One thing to check, if the power supply isnt sufficient, "Under-voltage" can occur causing segmentation errors for processes and potentially even corrupt files on the SD card (see link below): Raspberry Pi Documentation - Raspberry Pi Hardware EDIT: The link changed: You can check the syslogs for under voltage with below: sudo zgrep -i voltage /var/log/syslog* And check the kernel ring buffer logs: dmesg -T | grep -i voltage And check below one: pi@phb5:~ $ vcgencmd get_throttled int t…

@deHakkelaar

The sources.list file is missing the rpi component:

The rpi component is obsolete/nearly empty since Stretch already.

Has my post here been deleted or moved? The jq package is there, but it has been pinned to priority -1, so APT doesn't take it as candidate.

Nice oneliner to find the culprit config :

@deHakkelaar

grep . -R /etc/apt/preferences*

[deHakkelaar]

@MichaIng

The rpi component is obsolete/nearly empty since Buster.

Yes but how come its missing and not on mine?

@MichaIng

The jq package is there, but it has been pinned to priority -1, so APT doesn't take it as candidate.

I pointed that out already:

@deHakkelaar

EDIT: Ow maybe you've also got some pinning going on.
Whats output for below?

grep . -R /etc/apt/preferences*

[MichaIng]

@deHakkelaar

I pointed that out already:

Jep, and I like the oneliner, much shorter than what I posted before . Just making clear that the apt-cache policy jq output is undoubtedly showing this as reason, so no need to check in any other direction. The pinning is not default (of course), so I don't wonder that the sources.list isn't default either.

EDIT: Ah found my other post in the split issue, removed it there.

Blast, now you broke my linking

@deHakkelaar

Ow maybe you've also got some pinning going on.

@MichaIng

so no need to check in any other direction.

I already moved my EDIT to the top of my reply before

[deHakkelaar]

@RSickenberg

-1 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian bullseye/main armhf Packages

Ow yeah I'm prety sure its pinned because of the "-1" pin priority in front of above URL.
Should have spotted that earlier

[Bucking_Horn]

@deHakkelaar

EDIT: I moved below edit up here because its the most likely candidate for your issue if it shows pinning of the jq package

My below comment was now still lingering in the original topic:

@RSickenberg

  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
     1.6-2.1 -1
         -1 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian bullseye/main armhf Packages

That is some strange output: It's reporting no installation candidate, but the referenced repository is correctly listed in your sources.list:

@RSickenberg

~ » cat /etc/apt/sources.list                                                                                                                                                          
deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-free

Please share the outpout of:

ls -lah /var/lib/apt/lists

[deHakkelaar]

@MichaIng already figured this out:

@MichaIng

The jq package is there, but it has been pinned to priority -1, so APT doesn't take it as candidate.

Below you see pin priority -1 configured just before the URL:

@RSickenberg

[..]
   How APT Interprets Priorities
       Priorities (P) assigned in the APT preferences file must be
       positive or negative integers. They are interpreted as follows
       (roughly speaking):

       P >= 1000
           causes a version to be installed even if this constitutes a
           downgrade of the package

       990 <= P < 1000
           causes a version to be installed even if it does not come from
           the target release, unless the installed version is more recent

       500 <= P < 990
           causes a version to be installed unless there is a version
           available belonging to the target release or the installed
           version is more recent

       100 <= P < 500
           causes a version to be installed unless there is a version
           available belonging to some other distribution or the installed
           version is more recent

       0 < P < 100
           causes a version to be installed only if there is no installed
           version of the package

       P < 0
           prevents the version from being installed

       P = 0
           has undefined behaviour, do not use it.

Has my post here been deleted or moved?

I don't think so? I don't see anything in audit logs that shows post changes.
