Environment:
- Ubuntu 24.04 (noble), amd64, PostgreSQL
- Upgrade from Zabbix 7.0 to 8.0 following the official guide:
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/8.0/en/manual/installation/upgrade/packages/debian_ubuntu
Steps to reproduce:
1. wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/8.0/release/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_latest+ubuntu24.04_all.deb
2. dpkg -i zabbix-release_latest+ubuntu24.04_all.deb
3. apt update && apt install --only-upgrade 'zabbix*'
Expected result:
Zabbix 8.0.0 (stable) is installed.
Actual result:
Zabbix 8.0.0~rc3 is installed.
Details:
- zabbix-release_latest+ubuntu24.04_all.deb (dated 2026-11-04) contains version 1:8.0-0.4+ubuntu24.04,
built 2026-07-02. It only ships zabbix-release.sources, zabbix-tools.sources and
zabbix-unstable.sources. No source for zabbix/8.0/stable is included. - 8.0.0 packages are published at https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/8.0/stable/ (2026-11-04),
but no zabbix-release package enables this repository. - Epoch inconsistency: the previously published zabbix-release 2:8.0-0.3 has epoch 2,
while the "latest" package is 1:8.0-0.4 (epoch 1), so apt treats the "latest" package
as a downgrade. A purge was needed before installing it. - The stable repository is signed with key D913219AB5333005 (B5333005), which is not in
/usr/share/keyrings/zabbix.gpg as installed by zabbix-release. apt update fails with
NO_PUBKEY until zabbix-official-repo-apr2024.gpg is added manually.
Workaround:
Manually add a .sources entry for https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/8.0/stable/ubuntu
with Signed-By pointing to zabbix-official-repo-apr2024.gpg, and disable zabbix-unstable.sources.
Request:
Please publish an updated zabbix-release package for 8.0 (8.0-1 or later, with the correct epoch)
that enables the stable repository and includes the B5333005 key.
