Why do we force to trixie and unable to keep postgresql-15

  • FreedomBox is plugged into a router at home

  • FreedomBox now unwanted 25.9.3

My system was messed by unwanted upgrade of my PostgreSQL from 15 to 17

I downgraded to old version. Noway, PostgreSQL from 15 binaries are removed.

Previous stable fresh installation also automatically updated to Trixie.
How to fix ?

on a bookworm install, have you tried “unchecking” the distribution upgrade option in the fbx software update settings?

Hi Ged, I did. I’ve comment lines in /etc/apt/source.list
#deb Index of /debian stable-updates main
#deb-src Index of /debian stable-updates main

#deb Index of /debian-security stable-security main
#deb-src Index of /debian-security stable-security main

I’will redo the installation from now.

im not too sure about the innerworks of fbx, but suspect that a python script may be intervening with your changes.
if you have a chance, try going with the fbx webui. dont take my word, as i havent tried your way but it may make a difference.

I get this outputs

hmm… not relevant to your screenshot but, as far as i understand you want your fbx version to stick with 25.9.2 and postgresql 15?

you may not be able to do this with the ready fbx image.

the path id try would be to install debian bookworm, hold packages for postgresql, then install a 25.9.2 version of fbx on top.

if it works upto this point, then uncheck the upgrade options in fbx software update.

not something i tried before. if theres anyone out there more experienced with apt packages, maybe they can give more input.

edit and ps. instead of going through all this, if you have any “snapshots” of your system, maybe try reverting back to fbx 25.9.2. then, uncheck the update/upgrade options in the webui. postgres is a complicated package and the upgrade may have modified your databeses to a newer version (have to check this). i dont recommend manually changing things from the terminal at this point.

Thank you Ged, I’ve installed bookworm and trying to postgres15 packages
