Crystal debian repo and the "crystal" package

Help & Support
1

I am using official Crystal repo on Ubuntu install:

The repository has all versions of crystal side by side + there is a main crystal package which should probably point to the latest version.

Now 1.16.0 is officially released (according to the homepage), but the crystal package in the repo still points to 1.15, why?

Thanks.

Just an oversight.
Should be fixed now.

Now, this occurs:

➤  sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  crystal
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Why is the package in kept back state?

➤  apt list --upgradable -a
crystal/unknown 1.16.0-1+1.1 all [upgradable from: 1.15.0-1+1.1]
crystal/now 1.15.0-1+1.1 all [installed,upgradable to: 1.16.0-1+1.1]
crystal/oracular 1.12.1+dfsg-1 all

No idea :person_shrugging:

Current solution is to directly update the crystal package (metapackage):

apt upgrade crystal

Then, crystal1.15 is removed and crystal1.16 is installed.

Next commands just kept crystal package back (not upgrading it):

apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade
apt full-upgrade
