[solved]Update to release METEOR@1.2.1 is impossible?

1

I am trying to update my app to the latest meteor version, but this seems to be impossible?

$ meteor update         
Update to release METEOR@1.2.1 is impossible: 
While selecting package versions:

2.511.1.

I need the new meteor version, because I have to refactor for Blaze -> React.
Not sure what to do now. I don’t quite understand the error messages…
Can someone give me some advice on how to proceed?

First you can try to update all packages. That might solve your version conflict.

3

I would remove that bengott:avatar and stylus, update and add them back.

4

This one is now fixed at a specific version. You could try to remove the = in the versions file in the Meteor directory. That might be enough.

Thank you both for stepping in!

The versions file says: stylus@1.0.7, not stylus@=2.511.1
I can’t find a reference anywhere to stylus@=2.511.1
So I removed the avatar package (will try to add it back later)
Still have this error now:

$ meteor update         
=> Errors while initializing project:                                                       
While building package npm-container:
error: No plugin known to handle file '../../packages.json'. If you want this file to be a static asset,
use addAssets instead of addFiles; eg, api.addAssets('../../packages.json', 'client').

it is npm-container and meteorhacks:npm :smiley:
remove these and after upgrade add that npm package back

Found answer in https://github.com/meteorhacks/npm#use-npm-modules-with-your-meteor-app
As could be expected of course…

rm -rf packages/npm-container
meteor remove npm-container
meteor update meteorhacks:npm

Sorry to have bothered you for this.
