Maybe do another apt update?

Hey sledru,

Not entirely sure who to ask about this these days. I was about to direct the reporter to report a bug with the package maintainer, but from what is in comment 2 from jackyzy823, it's possible we're the package maintainers in this case. If so, do you know what the proper component for this bug is?

It's quite likely there was a window last week where they were out of sync, so if you run apt update around the time of the release then that would explain the mismatch.

:gabriel any thoughts on whether we can make publishing firefox and the langpacks closer to atomic?

Comment 5

[Julien Cristau [:jcristau]]

One other thought: the langpack really doesn't need a strict dependency there, e.g. it should be fine to install firefox-l10n-es-es 125.0.2-build1 with any version of firefox that's >= 125 and << 126. This wouldn't help for major releases but it would make this issue disappear on dot releases.

Comment 6

[Gabriel Bustamante [:gabriel]]

Thanks for looking into it :jcristau

We could loosen up the dependency requirement, that sounds like it would mitigate the issue.

I will check if there's any way to make the package publishing more atomic.

The severity field is not set for this bug.
:jlorenzo, could you have a look please?

Comment 8

[Johan Lorenzo [:jlorenzo]]

Marking as S3 per [1] because the workaround is to wait until packages.mozilla.org gets all the latest update.
