Hello,
I am getting warning “Please upgrade! This version of Tor (0.4.5.16) is obsolete, according to the directory authorities. Recommended versions are: 0.4.7.7,0.4.7.8,0.4.7.10”
How do I upgrade my TOR bridge with keeping my Bridge address the same as before? My OS is Linux Debian Bullseye AMD64
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramin

Hi @goodraminir, you just need to install tor from the Tor Project Debian repository instead of using Debian stable repo. Follow this support page [how I can enable Tor Package Repository in Debian?](https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/). Thanks for running a bridge!

Thanks Gus, here is what I get after I followed the document:
E: Unable to locate package deb.torproject.org-keyring
E: Couldn’t find any package by glob ‘deb.torproject.org-keyring’
Another question is that do I lose my bridge Fingerprint and Certificate and will have to recreate my bridge address?

Can you paste the result of this command?

No, the new tor won’t overwrite your tor directory. 🙂

You are not running focal, dont add those lines. You (probably) don’t want experimental and nightly builds of tor, so dont add those. You are not running \ you are running bullseye, change the first two lines to that, and delete the rest

I removed all the experimental, Focal and Nightly lines. I didn’t have “dist” in my “tor.list” file but “bullseye” but not sure why it is not visible in my previous post.
Any way I removed all the extra lines and saved. Stopped and started TOR service and ran the command “wget -qO- [https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc](https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc) | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg \>/dev/null”
Which ran with no issues and then ran “apt update” which returned the following output:
Ign:7 [Index of /torproject.org](https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org) InRelease
Err:8 [Index of /torproject.org](https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org) Release

` Ign:7 Index of /torproject.org 1 InRelease`
Somethings still wrong with the line in your sources list
You probably have `` in your file, change it to`bullseye`. If not, copy the contents here.

Ah, that was the trick. Thanks a lot and sorry to waste your time for such a stupidity. 😑

I’m having a similar issue. I’m running 0.4.5.10 and struggling to upgrade.
I’m running on armhf (a Raspberry Pi).
Apt-get upgrade tor returns:
> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
> tor : Depends: libc6 (\>= 2.29) but 2.28-10+rpt2+rpi1+deb10u1 is to be installed

> Depends: runit-helper (\>= 2.10.0~) but it is not going to be installed
> E: Broken packages
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list returns:
```auto
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main
```
Any help gratefully appreciated - thank you!

Update your `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list` with:
```auto
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org bullseye main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org bullseye main
```
You need to replace `` with your Debian release codename, for example, `bullseye`.

Thank you. I’m now getting this error:
> N: Skipping acquire of configured file ‘main/binary-armhf/Packages’ as repository ‘[Index of /torproject.org](https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org) buster InRelease’ doesn’t support architecture ‘armhf’
Looks like the issue is the package repository does not offer 32-bit ARM architecture (`armhf` ) images and official advice seems to be to build from source. I’ve never done this before, but seem to have figured it out partially.
I’ve got tor-0.4.7.13 installed and I can run it using the command ‘tor’ - however it’s visible in the command line rather than running as a service in the background. How can I create the tor service so this runs on boot in the background?
