Failed to update from 16.2.1 to 16.3.0

When trying to upgrade from version 16.2.1 to 16.3.0 I am getting a message saying that I am already running the latest version… somehow it is not recognizing the existence of version 16.3.0…

I am running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.

I issue a command from the command line interface (command prompt window). Command I use for upgrade is the same I have been using since upgrading from 12.10.3 to 13.0.1:

root@lxdy47ap08:~# apt-get update && apt-get install gitlab-ee

Full “log” when command is executed is the following:

root@lxdy47ap08:~# apt-get update && apt-get install gitlab-ee
Hit:1 Index of /ubuntu jammy InRelease
Hit:2 Index of /ubuntu jammy-security InRelease

gitlab-ee is already the newest version (16.2.1-ee.0).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
root@lxdy47ap08:~#

Can anyone throw some light? thanks!

Did you pin the version?
Have a look at /etc/apt/preferences.d/gitlab.pref if this exists.

Try running this first

curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.deb.sh | sudo bash

then do your apt-get update && apt-get install gitlab-ee

Let us know if it worked :slight_smile:

Dear doctor3182:

After running this script, I got the following output:

The repository is setup! You can now install packages.

And after that, issuing my command worked like a charm. Thank you for your assistance.
I am not sure if I fully understand what this script did and how running it solved my problem. Did I do something wrong in the first place? I am just concerned that this solved my problem and I do not understand why… But thanks anyway. Now my environment is fully upgraded, thanks to you!

Hi @rmattos :fist_right: Glad to hear the issue is resolved :slight_smile:
This command just updated gitlab repository on your machine, this way you can now see latest versions, I have a feeling previous repository was out of date :slight_smile:
