Issue/Introduction

Error observed during Platform Update installation

During the execution of the Debian platform upgrade, the process fails due to unmet package dependencies related to sssd components.

Relevant log excerpt:

sssd-dbus : Depends: sssd-common (= 2.4.1-2) but 2.4.1-2+deb11u1 is installed
sssd-tools : Depends: sssd-common (= 2.4.1-2) but 2.4.1-2+deb11u1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install'
ERROR : failed performing upgrade --without-new-pkgs, exiting...

Environment

Gateway 11.x 

Resolution

The problem is caused by the latest v11.0 platform update .

• Layer7_API_PlatformUpdate_64bit_v11.0-Debian-2026-01-26.L7P

This one installs a newer sssd-common for Debian 11 

Output from patch install: Unpacking sssd-common (2.4.1-2+deb11u1) over (2.4.1-2) 

Which is causing the problem with sssg-common update in the Debian 12 update package 

Layer7_API_PlatformUpdate_v11.1.00-Debian-17707.L7P 

This is a older patch and has an older sssd-common package which is not updated the newer package .

The tech docs has been updated and do not advice anymore to install the latest v11 MPP patch before starting the upgrade to Debian 12.
