Hello I’ve switched from running a tor relay to a bridge. I recently had to turn off my relay for a while because I couldn’t update tor. I currently added tor repository so I get the binaries faster (thanks maxzrbn). But nyx is still saying my tor version is ‘obsolete’ even though tor is fully updated. I’m on tor version 0.4.8.16, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you have already added Tor Project’s software repo, you should be able to update tor software to the latest tor release (0.4.8.21) unless you’re using Fedora (whose repo seems to be having problem right now, but even so you still should be able to install Tor 0.4.8.17 from official Fedora repository).
Since Tor 0.4.8.16 is the latest version of Tor from Debian’s official repo (not Tor’s debian/ubuntu repo), I assume you’re using debian (please tell me if it wasn’t so!). Can you execute sudo apt update on the server and show me the result?
You can also check the official documentation to see if you did enabled tor repository correctly:
I had to remove the tor repo as it was conflicting with other downloads and it was just a mess. No matter if I remove and reinstall tor it still is on the same version 0.4.8.16 . Im 100% certain its still coming from Debian repos even when I had the tor one. I think I didn’t add the repo correctly so I will look at the guide for Debian and try again.
Hi all,
same issue here i am on raspberry pi and trixie.
Sysetm is fully up to date.
Using the raspi/debian repos.
Cheers 
nyx - (Linux 6.12.47+rpt-rpi-v8)
Tor 0.4.8.16 (obsolete)
Linux 6.12.47+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.47-1+rpt1 (2025-09-16) aarch64 GNU/Linux
Hi. I also have some ARM64 machines with torproject’s repo configured and I have already upgraded to 0.4.8.21 without problem.
Can you share how your sources.list or tor.sources is configured? Have you added torproject’s repository as the documentation said?
Hi Lind,
i did now install tor with your provided documentation.
Result:
nyx - piA (Linux 6.12.47+rpt-rpi-v8) Tor 0.4.8.21 (recommended)
Thinking that a stable raspbian would have an tor version not being obsolete
Cheers and thanks

Glad that it helped!
Raspbian is based on Debian, which is infamous for holding old packages for too long, after all 
I got it working, I just had to install the keys as it said on the guide. I did this buy running apt update twice and it let me install them
