Zabbix not upgrading ( it looks like the repository is not being installed)

[raphacravo]

I'm trying to upgrade from zabbix 4.4 to zabbix 6, running on ubuntu 18, using this guide
But i'm having this error when try to do the

apt-get install --only-upgrade zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-agent

zabbix-server-mysql is already the newest version (1:4.4.0-1+bionic).
zabbix-agent is already the newest version (1:4.4.0-1+bionic).
zabbix-frontend-php is already the newest version (1:4.4.0-1+bionic).

I did the steps to install the zabbix 6 repository for ubuntu 18 (a lot of times) with no errors

<code>
# wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.2/u...u18.04_all.deb
# dpkg -i zabbix-release_6.2-1+ubuntu18.04_all.deb
# apt-get update
</code>



I don't know why the OS is not reading the zabbix 6 repository, and the OS is considering the zabbix 4 as up to date (I'm not a linux expert)

Looking in my /etc/apt sources I didn't find anything related to zabbix. maybe I need to add repositories manually? The weird thing is that I can't see any errors doing the step of adding zabbix 6 repo with the .deb package.

You are using the repository for 6.2, not 6.0. There is no Zabbix server 6.2 for Ubuntu 18.04.

Either use Zabbix 6.0 (see https://www.zabbix.com/download) or install Zabbix 6.2 server on a newer platform.

6.0 wont also install on 18.04 ... Need at least 20.04...

I've ran into similiar issue on debian 10.13

Package with repo is installing, but no repo entry in sources file:

Strange, never seen the file missing.

What does it say if you add -D33 in the dpkg install command?

I'm also seeing this issue while trying to update from 5.0 to 6.0 on Debian 10 using the upgrade guide.

After this I'd move it to Debian 12, but maybe I can do the migration and upgrade in one go.
