openmediavault-zfs want OMV >= 8.3, but my repository only offers 8.1.1

aLitschgy · Sep 8th 2026

Hello,
I want to install openmediavault-zfs, but it fails because it depends on openmediavault >= 8.3

Code

Unsatisfied dependencies:
openmediavault-zfs : Depends: openmediavault (>= 8.3) but 8.1.1-1 is to be installed

The problem is that 8.1.1-1 appears to be the latest version available on all the mirrors I’ve tested, including the GitHub Pages fallback repository, whilst the project’s changelog shows much more recent versions (8.5.7). I checked the contents of the Packages file directly on both domains (packages.openmediavault.io and openmediavault.github.io/packages), and both confirm that 8.1.1 is the most recent version available for the openmediavault package.

Is this a known issue related to the expiry of the openmediavault.org domain, or is there a configuration problem with my system that I haven’t yet identified?

Output from the commands below:

It does look like one of the repos has been reverted to a backup votdev

$ sudo apt-cache policy openmediavault

openmediavault:

Installed: 8.5.7-1

Version table:

But the other one is fine. Post the output of:

sudo omv-salt deploy run apt

sudo apt-get update

Is there a reason you didn't start with the 8.3.1 iso? https://sourceforge.net/projec…diavault/files/iso/8.3.1/

Is there a reason you didn't start with the 8.3.1 iso?

I started with a 6.x.x ISO a couple of years ago and upgraded OMV major versions twice.

Recently an apt autoremove removed the openmediavault package and I reinstalled all the missing packages manually. However I don't think this is linked to the issue I mention as I couldn't already install openmediavault-zfs before the removal of openmediavault package.

ryecoaaron · Sep 8th 2026

Your omv database and the omv version installed don't match.

Make /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list look like this:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/openmediavault-archive-keyring.gpg] http://packages.openmediavault.org/public/ synchrony main

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/openmediavault-archive-keyring.gpg] http://packages.openmediavault.io/ synchrony main

then run:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And just because I am the one helping, please use apt-get when I ask for apt-get. I don't like the output of apt.

My bad, I'll be careful about it in the future. I didn't know the output was different.
Thanks for your help.

openmediavault-zfs want OMV >= 8.3, but my repository only offers 8.1.1
