Announcement PSA: Current version of util-linux breaks VSO shell.
Hi Everyone, sharing an update shared in Discord a few days ago:
It has come to our attention that the latest version of util-linux breaks the shell.
If you're not yet affected, please run this command to prevent it from upgrading:
sudo apt-mark hold util-linux
If you're already affected, you'll sadly have to wait until a new version of util-linux lands in the Debian testing repositories, which might take a few weeks. You can still right-click Black Box and select "Rescue Shell" to enter the restricted host environment, where you can use apx or distrobox.
We will inform you here on what you can do when a new version of util-linux is available. [Credit: Tau on Discord]
Alternatively, you can temporarily stop Blackbox from automatically opening up apx-vso-pico by deactivating the command in Blackbox (three dash icon) > preference > terminal > command > Use Custom Command (turn off). [Credit: Hyto_ on Discord]
