I am new to the Ubuntu ecosystem.

On a Focal Fossa (latest lts release ) box, i installed cockpit as below;

sudo apt       install   cockpit   cockpit-*

These were of version 216

Later I came to know of backports and newer versions ( 238 ) and re-ran the above command as below;

sudo apt install cockpit/focal-backports cockpit-*/focal-backports

But had errors as below;

E: Release 'focal-backports' for 'cockpit-389-ds' was not found
E: Release 'focal-backports' for 'cockpit-ssh' was not found
E: Release 'focal-backports' for 'cockpit-shell' was not found
E: Release 'focal-backports' for 'cockpit-systemd' was not found
E: Release 'focal-backports' for 'cockpit-tuned' was not found
E: Release 'focal-backports' for 'cockpit-users' was not found
E: Release 'focal-backports' for 'cockpit-test-assets' was not found
E: Release 'focal-backports' for 'cockpit-docker' was not found

a. How do you guys install the latest versions of cockpit ?

b. Is there another repository ?

c. I know cockpit-docker is superseeded by cockpit-podman but i cant seem to locate it in focal-backports.

d. Is there a command that we can use to list down all packages in a repository like focal-backports ? sudo apt search cockpit/focal-backports doesnt work?

Thanks in advance...

Try this:

sudo apt install -t focal-backports cockpit

Version 261 is available and visible in the admin section for focal backports:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal-backports/cockpit

Tested and install the upgrade successfully on my end.
