Apt install/autoremove shows 1 not upgraded

Briefly describe your issue below:
using apt autoremove OR install shows:

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

while using full-upgrade shows
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Nowhere does it list which package it is referring to. Presumably this has no effect on the OS though is there a way to determine which package it is referring to and/or why it continues to display this?

What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)
Installed from Parrot-security-4.7_x64.iso
$uname -a
Linux parrot 5.2.0-2parrot1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.2.9-2parrot1 (2019-08-25) x86_64 GNU/Linux

What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Running on encrypted persistent USB

cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Parrot GNU/Linux 4.7"
NAME="Parrot GNU/Linux"
ID=parrot
ID_LIKE=debian
VERSION="4.7"
VERSION_ID="4.7"

Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)

Hi! Thank you for report our bug. Can you please check the output of sudo apt list --upgradeable please? I think your output above is missed something.

Hey, I included that in my post but again:
$sudo apt list --upgradeable
Listingā€¦ Done

That is really weird because i am seeing that so it should show something in upgradeable.
For example, i am having

$apt list --upgradable 
Listing... Done

seclists/rolling,rolling 2019.3-0kali1 all [upgradable from: 2019.2-0kali6]

They are not upgraded because of package conflict problem

it looks like those have already been installed for me e.g.

$sudo cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep mesa | tail -1
2019-10-19 12:46:59 status installed libglx-mesa0:amd64 19.2.1-1

It is a little weird. I meant if the package isnā€™t upgraded, it should be in upgradeable list. Let me ask other guys in team for help.

thank you, and again when I run full-upgrade it says
$sudo apt full-upgrade
Reading package listsā€¦ Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state informationā€¦ Done
Calculating upgradeā€¦ Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

if I run sudo parrot-upgrade
on the step where it runs:
apt --fix-broken --fix-missing install || echo failed to fix conflicts
it spits out
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
but the final step with dist-upgrade again is all 0ā€™s

Oh okay so it could be problem from parrot-upgrade output. We have to verify and fix this. Thanks for your report :smiley:

youā€™re welcome. but to be sure its the calling of apt install from below

cat /usr/bin/parrot-upgrade
#!/bin/bash
set -e
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=ā€œnoninteractiveā€
DEBIAN_PRIORITY=ā€œcriticalā€
DEBCONF_NOWARNINGS=ā€œyesā€
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND DEBIAN_PRIORITY DEBCONF_NOWARNINGS
apt update || echo failed to update index lists
dpkg --configure -a || echo failed to fix interrupted upgrades
apt --fix-broken --fix-missing install || echo failed to fix conflicts #THIS LINE
apt -y --allow-downgrades --fix-broken --fix-missing dist-upgrade

this also occurs when i run apt autoremove

This is not the same issue, as apt list --upgradeable does not echo any packages in my case.

So the contents of /etc/apt/preferences.d/parrot-pinning are as follows:

Package: *
Pin: release o=Parrot
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian

This is the same contents I see on a live boot, though if I comment out the first three lines the ā€˜1 not upgradedā€™ goes away. Hopefully that helps.

Able to reproduce this bug. Made a new live persistent USB. changed nothing; just set the language/time and added a network connection. Ran sudo parrot-upgrade and upon reaching the end the same exact problem occurs.

We must wait,such is our destiny.

there are still i386 packages having error so i donā€™t understand the 1 part :frowning:

yes its common that happens cause some packages are not upgraded thus prevent them from crashing and they have this notation:-ā€œThe following packages have been kept backā€

Please read through the whole thread, if it were that simple this would be closed:

  • In this instance there is no ā€œthe following packages have been kept backā€ message.
  • Again only apt install or apt autoremove list ā€˜1 not upgradedā€™.
  • full upgrade or dist upgrade do not display ā€˜1 not upgradedā€™.
  • apt-mark showhold # shows nothing
  • apt list --upgradeable # shows nothing

ok ā€¦iā€™ve seen it
donā€™t use sudo apt full-upgrade and sudo apt dist-upgrade in parrot os those are kali-linux commands of late they didnā€™t work for so to fully upgrade,in screenshot you got ; ie sudo parrot-upgrade
and to update is: sudo apt-get update
and sudo apt autoremove (PACKAGE_NAME)ā€¦ the package to be removed is missing

As I said in my previous post I made a new live boot and used only parrot-upgrade and the problem persists. Furthermore, the parrot-upgrade command calls the dist-upgrade command. To see run:

cat /usr/bin/parrot-upgrade

and
ā€œand sudo apt autoremove (PACKAGE_NAME)ā€¦ the package to be removed is missingā€
you donā€™t have to pass an argument to autoremove
