Hi,

Pls can you post full output of apt update && apt upgrade

[lcranf]

Something going on with wireguard-tools?

looks like apt identified package wireguard-tools as to be downgrade. Which is strange because old and new version are same Unpacking wireguard-tools (1.0.20200827-1~bpo10+1) over (1.0.20200827-1~bpo10+1)

Does it finished without issues?

[lcranf]

Good point. It does...above is the full output.

[Joulinar]

can you reboot and check Wireguard, as well run again apt update && apt upgrade. If all is working and no new packages detected, you can update DietPi

[lcranf]

Ran the following...

1. sudo reboot --reboot
2. sudo wg
   • saw all client peers previously setup
3. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
   • apt still detects wireguard-tools as a downgrade
4. sudo dietpi-update
   • get same error as above

[Joulinar]

DietPi update will not work as long as apt is detecting wireguard-tools as to be downgrade

[lcranf]

Okay. Sounds like I need to remove wireguard-tools, upgrade and re-installing wireguard-tools is the way forward? Let me try that

[lcranf]

I was able to resolve by doing the following....

1. sudo apt-get remove wireguard-tools
   • DO NOT run purge so it keeps current wg configs
2. sudo reboot --reboot
3. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
   • To verify that no packages need upgrading OR downgrading
4. sudo dietpi-update
5. sudo apt-get install wireguard-tools
6. I'm using pivpn so ran pivpn -d to start wireguard
7. verify everything works by running sudo wg or pivpn -c

Ok I'm going to close the issue for now. Feel free to reopen if needed.

Strange as the version strings are identical. I saw a similar report on Twitter, which was due to the Sid, then Bullseye repository we used to install WireGuard, while now it's available via Buster backports. The version string however has not changed, only the ~bpo10+1 suffix for Buster backports, no actually changed files. But in your case it was already a backports package.

However, can you check whether there are obsolete WireGuard-related APT repos/configs in place?

ls -l /etc/apt/{sources.list,preferences}.d

Okay that is all fine. Then I have no idea why APT interpreted it as downgrade or saw it as a changed version at all, as it's identical 🤔. However, as the removal an reinstall fixed it, nothing to worry.
