ZoneMinder Forums

Just installed a fresh Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS server and loaded ZoneMinder for iCONNOR repo.

apt-cache madison zoneminder shows that 1.36.35-jammy1 is available. However, when I run apt-get upgrade zoneminder it reports back that zoneminder is already the newest version (1.36.12+dfsg1-1ubuntu0.1~esm1).

I've done some searching but unable to find resolution.

I've run into this -
remove your ubuntu pro.
May require actually reinstalling, I'd done a reinstall before it dawned on me that's what esm is.

But you may be able to force it...try apt list -a zoneminder and try using the first (newest) listed version.

You can verify which versions and priorities are being considered by running:
apt-cache policy zoneminder
To resolve this, you have a couple of options:
1. Adjust Apt Pinning/Priority: Create or modify a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ to raise the priority of the package from the iCONNOR repository. This tells apt to prefer version 1.36.35‑jammy1 even if its version string might not normally win in a version comparison.
2. Force the Installation: You can manually install the desired version by running:
sudo apt-get install zoneminder=1.36.35-jammy1 (You may also need to hold or pin the version afterward to prevent it from being replaced by the ESM package.)

To work around this buggy version you can try adjusting the Apt pin priority for the iCONNOR repository or force the install with sudo apt-get install zoneminder=1.36.35-jammy1.
