Swapping over here as I jump the home server from Mastodon 4.5.5 to 4.5.8.

Let's see if we can force-recompile the offender. Guessing here, but let's try:
```
mastodon@mastodon:~/live$ env RAILS_ENV=production bundle install --force
```

2026-02-06 22:09:57 UTC

Ohh wonderful, so `apt-get dist-upgrade` has managed to break the custom Ruby build that runs Mastodon. Or rather, one of its "gems".

Oookay… booting back up.

I notice `pg_dump` is still complaining about the collation:
```
WARNING: database "mastodon_production" has a collation version mismatch
DETAIL: The database was created using collation version 2.36, but the operating system provides version 2.41.
HINT: Rebuild all objects in this database that use the default collation and run ALTER DATABASE mastodon_production REFRESH COLLATION VERSION, or build PostgreSQL with the right library version.
```
… but it seems to be running okay. I don't feel like doing a `DROP DATABASE` and restore at this time to rebuild the objects, unless there's some simpler way to do a rebuild.
Anyway, the build is started, we should be back soonish.

Pulled latest stable Mastodon, and I'm currently building that.

2026-01-08 02:14:37 UTC

- reply

Did an `apt-get --fix-broken install` which succeeded, and re-ran `apt-get dist-upgrade -y`.
It seems to be installing without incident, and most crucially, without this `sse4.2-support`. So clearly it wasn't needed, makes me wonder why it was picked up as an update in the first place.

2026-01-08 01:48:31 UTC

Not a promising message. The CPUs in the VM report themselves as "QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+", the physical CPU is a Intel Atom C2000 series.

Download is finished and database back-ups taken. The packages are being installed now.
After that, I'll reboot (to activate the new kernel and `glibc`), then I can tackle Mastodon's update to 4.5.4.

Failed a second time, apparently it now works _without_ that option set.
It used to be it'd fail to build unless I did set the "max old space size". This is a VM with 8GB of RAM… it did get an upgrade when the Atom C2000 issue was resolved on a couple of old boards meant I gained some extra compute capacity… but yeah… JavaScript drives me nuts.
Anyway, managed to get the assets compiled… onward with database migration.

So the issue was `liburing1` not being available on Debian 12… and also `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/postgresql.list` still referencing Debian 11 repositories.
Not so much I'm "holding" broken packages, just the distribution has moved on. Now PostgreSQL v18 is installed and it'll attempt an update of the cluster (from v17). I've got a full database dump.

`NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=768" RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile`
The `--max-old-space-size=768` is needed here because `nodejs`' heap management sucks, it just `malloc`s until it hits `ENOMEM` then dies.

Another forecast… as #CycloneAlfred wobbles itself to the coast.

Forecast updates are coming through thick and fast … and of course it has to happen while my server is busy running the JavaScript build tools that build Mastodon's UI.
#CycloneAlfred has a definite kink in the predicted path as it crosses the coast.
Seriously Alfred, go home, you're drunk!
