I am a bit confused.

When I start MXPI test repo, I find this:

MXPI Thunderbird test.jpg

It looks like there is a new version. Version 78-9 .

But When I then choose the thunderbird packages and try to update, I get this:

Thunderbird version 8 zu 8.jpg

Looks like a contradiction.
My expection was, that it will update from 78-8 to 78-9 . But it looks like it want to update from 78-8 to 78-8.

(?)

Interesting. I upgraded two days ago..

Code: Select all

2021-03-27  09:08:09  upgrade  lightning                     all    2:78.8.0-1mx19+1                2:78.9.0-1mx19+1
2021-03-27  09:08:06  upgrade  thunderbird                   amd64  2:78.8.0-1mx19+1                2:78.9.0-1mx19+1

Maybe reload?

[Duliwi]

OK In the meantime I have found the culprit.

Repo source thunderbird.jpg

When I choose 1), then it happens what I have written in post #127. (78-8 to 78-8) Strange!

When I choose 2), then it shows me in the second dialog window --> update from 78-8 to 78-9
Yes, this is what I want. But when I then run the update there is a repository error.

So I have changed to the "Italy repo".
-> Now all went as expected. I have now version 78-9 .

Could you please allow me to ask another question?

It is related to this thread:
viewtopic.php?p=629368#p629368

In this thread I have asked how to let MX uppdater automatically update thunderbird 78 from test repository.
@tony37 gave me a trick to configure it in a way, that it would always download thunderbird 78 directly from debian repository.

So here is my question:
The version name in the "test repository" is "2:78.9.0-1mx19+1".
A) Why is it called "mx19+1"? Does this mean, that this is a version specially adapted for MX?
B) Does this mean that a modification for MX is necessary for Thunderbird 78 to work properly in MX?
C) Are there some differences between thunderbird 78 from MX test repository and the debian repository?
D) What disadvantages would I have, if I install thunderbird 78 from debian repository instead from MX test repository.

Thank you.
