apk v3 migration requires pmbootstrap 3.5.1 or higher

July 03, 20251 min. read

In the last post we mentioned that Alpine switched to apk v3. Due to this change our pmbootstrap tool required some changes, and you may experience the following error:

[14:23:09] ERROR: Downloaded apk-tools-static-3.0.0_rc5_git20250613-r0.apk, but the apk binary inside that package reports to be version: 3.0.0_rc5_git20250613-r0! Looks like a downgrade attack from a malicious server! Switch the server (-m) and try again.

Please upgrade to pmbootstrap 3.5.1 or higher to resolve this issue.
