This Q/A exemplifies the teamwork on AU! Everyone learns from each other. There are zero down-votes on all the answers. I'm proud to be a part of the AU community!
@Zanna in all fairness, I think the dupe I linked to explains everything. The OP is not making it better by throwing a fit ... 😬
Also, the irony here was the OP wouldn't be lectured on package management, but then discovered that the answer is a lecture on package management. I'm allowed to think that's somewhat funny.. 🧐
My initial comment was merely an additional explanation to the dupe thread "Why don't the Ubuntu repositories have the latest versions of software?"
If my first comment came off as blunt, I'm actually sorry, because that wasn't the intention.
@Zanna I get your point, although I didn't really see it as such, because it was based on a wrong assumption: If you want bleeding edge packages, Ubuntu simply isn't the answer. But fair enough, let's leave it at this.. 😉
I ran chmod 222 /bin/chmod to know more about chmod. After that, when I run /bin/chmod, I get permission denied.
I tried to change the permissions of chmod back to 755, but it doesn't work.
Does anyone have tips about how to fix this?
@ArturMeinild sorry to be a hater today haha but I can't refrain from saying that I disagree with the first line of your answer - my feeling is that there are many things that should never be done with chmod (except for fun) as many posts on this site illustrate XD
@ArturMeinild @Zanna I have added an answer based on the instructions I found in netplan's GH. I haven't tried it as I say in the answer, but I don't see why this wouldn't work. If you see anything wrong or have any objections on the answer, feel free to tell me.
Also, according to this, it seems that the latest netplan goes into proposed repos. So that could be another option, but since I'm on Fedora, I cannot even see what version is on this repos, or test a dry-run. If someone could check that and maybe post an answer, it would be nice.
@Zanna The post I linked is about lunar-proposed. Since the upcoming version is codenamed Noble Numbat, I guess that the latest version should be in noble-proposed? So the command to run would be apt install -t noble-proposed netplan.io?
$ apt -s install -t noble-proposed netplan.io
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
Reading package lists... Done
E: The value 'noble-proposed' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
