The first maintenance release of the 5.9 series of NAV is now out!
The source code is available for download at GitHub [1].
New packages for Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye) are available in our APT repository [2] as usual. We haven't started building packages for Debian 12 (Bookworm) yet, as NAV does not yet support running under Python 3.11.
Please be extra aware of config file changes. Look out for `*.dpkg-dist` files in `/etc/nav` and make sure to update your running config.
Fixed =====
- Fixed broken navclean and navsynctypes scripts (#2875, #2874)
Release notes =============
We always advise you to have a look at NAV's accompanying release notes [3] before upgrading.
Happy NAVing everyone!

Hi,
Are the Buster packages really there? I'm not being offered an upgrade.

5.9.1-2bullseye should be there, yes. After an `apt-get update`, I get this:
$ apt-cache policy nav nav: Installed: (none) Candidate: 5.9.1-2bullseye Version table: 5.9.1-2bullseye 500 500 https://nav.uninett.no/debian bullseye/nav amd64 Packages

I'm using buster, not bullseye. I get the following after update:
root@nav:~# apt-cache policy nav nav: Installed: 5.9.0-1 Candidate: 5.9.0-1 Version table: *** 5.9.0-1 500 500 https://nav.uninett.no/debian buster/nav amd64 Packages

Sorry, my bad, I keep confusing the two! You are quite right, it seems we have published the Bullseye packages twice by mistake, rather than one of each. I've pushed also to the buster archives now.
I'd add an addendum that, while we are still responsible for several systems running buster, we are slowly working on upgrading everything to Debian Bullseye. Once all our systems are on Bullseye or newer, we will drop support for Python 3.7 (and thereby, Debian Buster) in NAV.
Ideally, we would like to run on Debian Bookworm, but getting NAV compatible with Python 3.11 seems to rather long-winded, due to all the dependency upgrades we need to handle in order to get there.
