Hi Neil,

I followed the steps you have shared.
First I installed 2016.12 version from stretch and then tried to install 2017.7 from jessie-backports.

It is showing lava-server will upgrade to 2017.7 in up-gradable list but when I am going to upgrade its only updating lava-server-doc package.

lava-server requires the updated version of lava-dispatcher which is not listed as upgradable on your setup because you have installed the i386 architecture.

Only amd64 is supported from the LAVA repositories. You will not get a LAVA build for i386 until the upload to stretch-backports has been accepted into Debian.



Please see the below snapshot in which the list before upgrade and the LAVA packages list after upgrade.

That does look like a Ubuntu theme - please remember there is *no* support for Ubuntu. A chroot of Debian is not enough to run LAVA. It needs to be a container or a full virtual machine. As such, you should look at creating a fresh 64bit Stretch installation in a virtual machine or container to get 2017.7 installed.


 
Thanks,
Ankit

There are delays getting packages into stretch-backports, as expected.

In the meantime, this is a reminder of how to use backports: first
start with stable.

So when installing LAVA on Stretch, even if what you want is the
latest release from production-repo or staging-repo (currently
2017.7), then your first step is to install 2016.12 from Stretch.

# apt -y install lava-server
# apt -y install vim
# wget http://images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo/production-repo.key.asc
# apt-key add production-repo.key.asc

# vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lava.list

# # edit the file to specify: deb
http://images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo jessie-backports
main

Yes, that is jessie-backports - we don't have packages in
stretch-backports at this time.

# apt update
# apt upgrade

If you specify backports too early, you'll get a range of other
packages from backports - you don't actually need jessie-backports or
stretch-backports from Debian at this time.

Packages for jessie-backports are built on jessie. Packages for
stretch-backports are built on stretch. It's the same source code in
each case. Right now, there aren't any problems with installing from
jessie-backports on stretch - particularly if you install lava-server
from stretch in the first place so that the majority of your packages
come from stretch.
