Just updated the Raspbian of a Raspberry PI from Bullseye to Bookworm. To install Mopidy I use apt.mopidy.com.
Should the documentation page on install from apt.mopidy.com be updated since it mentions Bullseye, not Bookworm, even if https://apt.mopidy.com/bookworm.list is available?
Also, on the same page, it’s suggested that extensions not available from the package repository can be installed using pip but nowadays this doesn’t work straight from the box anymore; one must add the --break-system-packages option:
matthias@argos:~ $ sudo python3 -m pip install mopidy-bandcamp mopidy-internetarchive mopidy-listenbrainz mopidy-somafm
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
For more information visit http://rptl.io/venv
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
What would be the right way to update the documentation: Refer to --break-system-packages or describe how-to install a virtual environment?
We went with --break-system-packages as per Install from PyPI — Mopidy 4.0.0a1 documentation but missed that bit on the Ubuntu page and didn’t merge to the main docs yet. I think that was just an oversight, thanks for the reminder.
@jodal does that sound right?
@kingosticks Note that the system.sh upgrade script shipped with Iris is broken and Iris upgrade from the dedicated button in Iris is now broken. Here is the log generated after I click that button:

Worth filing an issue on their repo if you can.
