1853803 - firefox-nightly-l10n-* doesn't upgrade firefox-nightly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Gabriel Bustamante [:gabriel]]

When someone using the Firefox .deb package upgrades the firefox-nightly-l10n-* package the firefox-nightly package is not updated. Maybe we can fix this by making the firefox-nightly-l10n-* depend on the version of firefox-nightly they correspond to.

I'm not convinced anything should be done about this. What are the exact package relationships in play here?

ex: firefox-nightly-l10n-fr (119.0a120230920063212) => firefox-nightly (119.0a120230920063212)

:jcristau the idea is to update the browser package when the l10n package is updated.

(I think) this also makes you can first-time install the l10n package without installing the browser package first.

e.g. apt update && apt install -y firefox-nightly-l10n-fr

I am also hoping (for nightly langpacks specifically) the change mitigates potential missing string issues (caused by mismatched build/langpack pairs - that is a possibility since we aren't creating .debs using the l10n repacks - its probably not/less of an issue for regular releases)

Hello Gabriel! Can you please help us with some steps for verifying this issue? Thank you in advance!

Hello

1. Install firefox-nightly-l10n-fr. It will also install firefox-nightly (apt install firefox-nightly-l10n-fr)
2. Wait for a new nightly to be published
3. Upgrade by running apt install firefox-nightly-l10n-fr

=> before, it was updating only firefox-nightly-l10n-fr (not firefox-nightly)

Now, it should upgrade both packages

Thank you for the detailed response. I installed Firefox .deb in different Linux installations and I will verify this tomorrow after the latest nightly is published.

Verified that using steps from comment 8 both firefox-nightly and firefox-nightly-l10n-fr updates are performed and confirmed in the browser console on Ubuntu 22.4, Ubuntu 22.1, Lubuntu 20.04 LXQt and Debian 10.

However, on Ubuntu 22.1, Lubuntu 20.04 LXQt, and Debian 10 I needed to also use sudo apt-get update command for the update to work. Using sudo apt install firefox-nightly-l10n-fr before the sudo apt-get update said that Firefox is already at the newest version. This didn't happen on Ubuntu 22.04. Is this expected? Thank you!
