Update to 20.13 not arrived

Is’t the actual version of FreedomBox 20.13? My one is still 20.12.2 and I suspect something is wrong. Some days ago i used a snapshot for a rollback and in the list of snapshots is a message: will be used at next boot… can this have an effect on the updates?
Freedombox works normally except problems with Matrix Synapse/Coturn since the transition from Riot to Element.
I tried a update manually and got some errors:

Maybe i have to reinstall the Freedombox?

FreedomBox is plugged into a router
I bought my kit July 2019
The version of FreedomBox 20.12.1.

It’s not due to the snapshots. FreedomBox 20.13 is in the Debian NEW queue: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/freedombox_20.13.html. From here, it needs to be manually approved, before it will flow in as an update.

And couldn’t it be possible for users to toggle a switch to install these NEW queue packages? (To test backports on their stable freedombox field-configurations, before they are officially released.)

Then that would sound like a much better solution for “field tested backports: default delay for installing new feature packages”.

Hi James,
could you tell me the status of 20.13?
So far I still have 20.12.1 running on my two freedomboxes and when I run a manual update it shows no updates are available.
I am just wondering if something is wrong in my setup or if its just the delay expected for the 20.13 release.

Thanks Chris

Yes, 20.13 was still in the NEW queue until a few days ago, when it was rejected.

Next upload will be 20.14.
