Describe the issue

I am running AudioBookShelf 2.7.2 in an LXC hosted on ProxMox. I attempted to update to 2.8.0 this evening and received an error reading:
dpkg-deb: error: archive '/var/cache/apt/archives/audiobookshelf_2.8.0_amd64.deb' uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up

Other updates were installed at the same time. I tried rebooting and trying again but got the same results.

I rebooted again and my existing install of 2.7.2 is unaffected.

Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.

Here is the full output from the apt upgrade command:

Think its the same for me too

dpkg: error processing archive ./audiobookshelf_2.8.0_amd64.deb (--install):
 dpkg-deb --control subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ./audiobookshelf_2.8.0_amd64.deb
An error occurred during the update process.

Maybe my method of updating is outdated?

When i first started using Audiobookshelf it was version 2.2.17 or previous. and the install system was:

image

Which I changed to using the below because someone suggested to.

 dpkg -i ./audiobookshelf_2.2.15_amd64.deb

I have been using that ever since and until this time it has been flawless. I wrote a little (very poor) script to do it.

Anyways, I looked at the new install suggestion and it is much different. So maybe that has something to do with it? Do i need to change?

Sincerely,
Someone who has almost no idea what they are doing.

Edit: included way more information.

This seems to detail the issue..

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/669004/zst-compression-not-supported-by-apt-dpkg

I run Audiobookshelf in a privileged Debian 11 LXC within Proxmox. I ran the commands in the first post on the link below and it upgrade me to 2.8 without issue.

Having said all that.. i took a backup from bookshelf gui and built a new debian 12 lxc and restored the backup.. feels cleaner this way to me.

Thanks @danmed
I found that I can pass a flag in to dpkg-deb to change the compression method from zstd to xz

I just re-packaged v2.8.0 if anyone here wants to test it out. I'm not sure if apt update will recognize it as an update

I'm willing to give it a go but I feel like you want someone who is better versed in well, everything. Lol. But if you make a script I'll run it. Worst case deploy a back up lol.

Added: After realizing(again) there was a back up I'm going to redeploy it anyways as I was also having issues with downloading a lot of podcasts.

Nice, do i need to do anything seeing as i upgraded to Debian 12 and started fresh? (btw.. your backup functionality is awesome.. literally had me back up and running in minutes!)

I don't think the original issue exists on Debian 12 as per that stackexchange you shared.

If anyone still on Debian 11 can pull the package again that will let us know if my update fixed it. The debian package for 2.8.0 is replaced in the PPA repo already https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-ppa so doing an apt update, apt install audiobookshelf should do the trick.
