We've made some changes to sd-agent which include systemd support where appropriate. As such we have split the Debian and Ubuntu repositories to allow us to provide OS specific packages from sd-agent v2.2.0 onwards. If you have a current sd-agent install on your server but are not seeing any available updates following this article will allow you to update.
Error
You will not see a specific error message from apt, however you will see that your account shows the agent to be out of date but apt does not provide any updates when executing apt-get install --only-upgrade sd-agent or similar.
Solution
Update the repository
You can update to the latest version of sd-agent for your OS by updating your repository with the relevant command below:
Debian 7 - Wheezy
echo "deb https://archive.serverdensity.com/debian/ wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sd-agent.listDebian 8 - Jessie
echo "deb https://archive.serverdensity.com/debian/ jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sd-agent.listDebian 9 - Stretch
echo "deb https://archive.serverdensity.com/debian/ stretch main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sd-agent.listUbuntu 14.04 - Trusty
echo "deb https://archive.serverdensity.com/ubuntu/ trusty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sd-agent.listUbuntu 16.04 - Xenial
echo "deb https://archive.serverdensity.com/ubuntu/ xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sd-agent.listUpdate the agent
Once you've added the correct repository you can then update to the latest version of sd-agent with:
apt-get update apt-get install --only-upgrade sd-agent
New Installs
No action needs to be taken for new installs as all documentation, install scripts and Server Density provided configuration management tools have been updated to ensure the agent install is successful.
