Xpra beta/stable has unmet dependencies on Debian testing/bookworm

[markmandel]

Describe the bug

Can't install Xpra on Debian testing currently. Updates will force xpra to uninstall.

❯ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xpra_org.list
deb [arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/xpra-2022.gpg] https://xpra.org/ testing main
deb [arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/xpra-2022.gpg] https://xpra.org/beta/ testing main

To Reproduce

❯ sudo apt install xpra

Additional context

Last time this happened there was a build in the pipeline, but figured I'd file a bug just in case it slipped through the cracks.

Thanks!

Same as #3531 (comment), right?

There are fresh builds now, at r32620 - do those work for you?

So, I've tried to update a VM to see if the new packages would work there... and found that the beta repository was not signed, so it didn't get the updated package metadata.
Force-signed and all OK now.

Then there's also the problem of the repository format which is going to need updating (or Debian will start breaking again), see #3539.
If you still have problems, do let me know and please try following the updated installation instructions to use the new xpra.sources file format as this may resolve GPG issues.

Yeah that's the one! I just figured it was easier to track and be discoverable for other users in a new ticket

YAY! Yep! Just installed and running! Awesome! Thank you!

Been using Xpra all morning, and it's working perfectly (even from v4.4.3-r0 -> v5.0-r32620). Marking as fixed.
