Welp… I fucked up my StartOS node by using “apt upgrade.”

Fan-fucking-tastic.

Doing a system rebuild and restoring from backup.

Yeah apt upgrade without package is only useful on initial box setup.

Hahaha I figured I was probably was messing something up, but at least I did a backup literally hours before 😅.

At least you had backup! Been there before.

if you really want to update all packages, I went this route before (and broke my node), but figured out what works. Add this to /etc/apt/preferences.d/pins

then run 'apt update && apt upgrade'

note: do this in the chrooted environment

note2: this will also update the kernel to 6.11

Oh, to get the 6.11 kernel you also need to add the unstable repos to /etc/apt/sources.list

do not upgrade podman/containerd/systemd and related packages, that will break StartOS
