SABnzbd Forums

Hi, trying to install the latest freebsd package on truenas (latest). When I try to execute/start sabnzbd after the package upgrade, I get an error about a version mismatch on sabctools (version 8.1.0 expected, got 8.2.3).

Upon investigation, I see that the python39 package has py39-sabctools 8.1.0 as a dependency. However, when I 'pkg install sabnzbd' the system installs python311 which has a py311-sabctools version 8.2.3 dependency. While I can install the python39 package it is ignored in favor of the python311 package which brings along the wrong sabctools.

I did google around for how to solve this. The suggestion was to install a downgraded package version that had a python39 dependency. However, the package repo no longer has an older version available so this downgrade isn't easily achieved.

What suggestions do all you freebsd experts have?

Maybe not very helpful, but I can confirm this problem on FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p1

Isn't that something for the packager of that package?

See https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/new ... d/Makefile for their name.

HTH

Actually I was under the impression that packaging was an automated process.
Should we contact that packager?

Yes We don't make that one.

Yes, I opened a bug with the package maintainer and they are aware and working the problem. I posted here in hopes there was a temporary workaround. I'll post back again when the maintainer releases the fix. I believe the plan is to push out the 4.3.2 version which will then sync up with the sabctools 8.2.3 version.

For anyone else caught out by this, here's what I did as a short term remediation. I changed my package repo (/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf) file to use the quarterly repos instead of the latest repos. Then I reran 'pkg update' and 'pkg upgrade' to switch to the quarterly train. I was able to successfully reinstall an older version of sabnzbd and get everything working.

When the package maintainer gets everything sorted then I'll move back to latest for this particular jail.

Got a link to the bug that you filed?

Update: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_ ... ?id=279932

So the issue is resolved as of Sabnzbd 4.3.2.

Ah, yes, I neglected to return and announce the fix was released. I have moved back to the LATEST repos and 4.3.2 is running nicely.
