Hello,
I have been running my home heating for ~10 years with a Raspi 2, Z-Wave.me and a custom Perl script using API calls. Today I did something stupid - I updated my Raspi's OS to Trixie before discovering that Z-Wave.me is now a dead project and won't ever get a Trixie repo or version (correct?). So now everything is horribly broken.
Do I have alternatives to going back to my pre-update backup and never updating my Raspi again?
Thanks!
Making z-way-server work on Trixie
Re: Making z-way-server work on Trixie
By the way: I did try installing the nightly build for Trixie that can be found on Github. However, it has a lot of dependencies that my Trixie Raspbian is not able to satisfy in any way.
Estrazione di z-way-server (5.0.2-291-g47ad5098~trixie-1) su (5.0.2-291-g47ad5098~trixie-1)...

Re: Making z-way-server work on Trixie
I can think of 2 approaches:
1. Safely back up /opt/z-way-server and any other files you want to preserve such as your custom perl script to a USB drive. Then do a fresh re-install of bookworm. Trying to roll back to bookworm from trixie is not productive. Once your Pi is running bookworm, you can then do a fresh install of z-way-server and replace the /opt/z-way-server with the USB drive backup copy.
2. Unlike apt, dpkg does not automatically resolve dependencies. As a result, you need to install each dependency manually. Something like: apt install libarchive libssl libcares2 libwebsockets libmosquitto1 libcurl libglib2.0. Then try to install the nightly trixie build of z-way-server with something like this: dpkg -i z-way-debian-trixie-armhf-5.0.2-291-g47ad5098~trixie-1_armhf.deb. If you're lucky, z-way-server will install successfully. If you get errors that are simply related to versions not being satisfied, you can try to install z-way-server by running this command: dpkg --force-depends -i z-way-debian-trixie-armhf-5.0.2-291-g47ad5098~trixie-1_armhf.deb. If you encounter problems, please post the output from the dpkg command so that other people can benefit from this experience.
