Hello Lava Users,

On deploying the latest LAVA release(LAVA 2022.11.1) packages after building the packages on Debian11 Host , we are facing issue with deploying lava-dispatcher-host package on Debian 11 host(11.6).

Is there a reason you are building the packages yourself instead of using the releases we provide at https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release ?

On checking further we noticed https://git.lavasoftware.org/lava/lava/-/blob/master/debian/control , lava-dispatcher-host package depends on base-files (<< 11.1) but base-files on system is 11.1+deb11u6. To support Deploying on latest Debian bullseye release should this be updated or are we missing something.

$ sudo dpkg -i lava-dispatcher-host_2022.11.1+11+bullseye_all.deb (Reading database ... 283093 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack lava-dispatcher-host_2022.11.1+11+bullseye_all.deb ... Unpacking lava-dispatcher-host (2022.11.1+11+bullseye) over (2021.10+10+buster) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of lava-dispatcher-host: lava-dispatcher-host depends on base-files (<< 11.1) | python3-bpfcc (>= 0.21); however: Version of base-files on system is 11.1+deb11u6. Package python3-bpfcc is not installed. lava-dispatcher-host depends on base-files (<< 11.1) | linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers-arm64 | linux-headers-generic; however: Version of base-files on system is 11.1+deb11u6.

Note that the dependency is:

Depends: lava-common (= ${binary:Version}), base-files (<< 11.1) | python3-bpfcc (>= 0.21), base-files (<< 11.1) | linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers-arm64 | linux-headers-generic, base-files (<< 11.1) | bpftool | linux-tools-common,

i.e. if you are on Debian 11 or later (and therefore has base-files > 11.1), you need those other packages, which are needed for lava-dispatcher-host to work on Debian 11. backports of the ones missing from bullseye are available in the LAVA APT repository, which you seem to not be using.
