.NET 8.0 LTS is not installable on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon
During development of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon, which is expected to come with .NET 10.0 LTS that was released last week, there was a proposal to remove .NET 8.0 from the list of installable software in both the runtime and the SDK forms. This was made in accordance with the comment in a 2023 .NET 6.0 bug that stated:
- We will ship the latest .NET LTS (e.g. .NET 6, 8, 10) to the latest Ubuntu LTS and backport to the -1 Ubuntu LTS and Interim releases.- We will ship .NET STS releases (.NET 7, 9, 11) only to Ubuntu Interim releases.e.g.- .NET 8 LTS will be on 22.04 LTS, 23.10 and 24.04 LTS- .NET 9 STS will be on 24.10, 25.04, 25.10- .NET 10 LTS will be on 24.04 LTS, 25.04, 25.10 and 26.04 LTS
As .NET 10.0 is a long-term release that will make its way to Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon, it has been backported to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, which is the current LTS version that is supported as of the time of writing. Meanwhile, .NET 8.0 has already been backported to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish, and there is no mention of forward-porting the version to the next Ubuntu LTS version.
To satisfy this condition, all packages that are related to .NET 8.0 have been removed from Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon. You can take a look at this bug’s logs here.
Check out the bug report Starting from today, you’ll no longer be able to install .NET 8.0 from your development system from official Ubuntu repositories if you’re running the development branch of Resolute Raccoon. You’ll either have to upgrade your applications to .NET 10.0, or you’ll have to manually install .NET 8.0.
Meanwhile, the team is running into issues with packaging the final version of .NET 10.0 for the same version of Ubuntu, but those issues should be fixed soon so that developers can finally have access to the latest .NET version.
Check out the SRU bug As a consequence, we had to remove all Nitrocid and BassBoom packages for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon until all packages that are related to .NET 10.0 have landed.
