Upgrade FreeRDP to 2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1 for Guacamole Installation on Debian 12

倾城 • • 好物分享

Currently I have freerdp2-dev version 2.10.0+dfsg1-1 installed on Debian 12 (bookworm). There is a newer version available in the Debian 12 security and updates repositories: 2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1, which includes important fixes and improvements over 2.10.0.

The upstream FreeRDP project itself has much newer releases (such as 3.17.0 and even 3.19.0 as of December 2025). However, these are not yet packaged for Debian 12 and would require manual building if you need a cutting-edge version.
 

Background

For most users and for Apache Guacamole 1.6.0, Debian's 2.x series remains the best-supported choice, but you should upgrade to version 2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1 from the official package repositories for the latest bug and security fixes within Bookworm.
We can install 2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1 from Debian’s bookworm-proposed-updates (oldstable-proposed-updates) repository or directly from the .deb in the Debian pool, but both approaches are slightly “off the beaten path” and should be tested carefully on a non-production box first.

Option 1: Enable proposed-updates (preferred Debian way)

  1. Edit APT sources to add proposed-updates for bookworm:

    • Open /etc/apt/sources.list in your editor (as root) and add a line like:
      deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-proposed-updates main.​

  2. Update package lists:

    • sudo apt update

  3. Install the specific version of the dev package (and runtime libraries will follow):

    • sudo apt install freerdp2-dev=2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1




root@guacserverdeb12:~# sudo apt install freerdp2-dev=2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1

  1. To avoid pulling other proposed-updates automatically, you can pin this version in /etc/apt/preferences.d/freerdp2 with something like:

    text
    Package: freerdp2* libfreerdp* libwinpr* Pin: release n=bookworm-proposed-updates Pin-Priority: 1010

    This keeps the higher version available but limits what gets installed by default.

root@guacserverdeb12:~# dpkg -l | grep freerdp
ii  freerdp2-dev                         2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1         amd64        Free Remote Desktop Protocol library (development files)
ii  libfreerdp-client2-2:amd64           2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1         amd64        Free Remote Desktop Protocol library (client library)
ii  libfreerdp-server2-2:amd64           2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1         amd64        Free Remote Desktop Protocol library (server library)
ii  libfreerdp-shadow-subsystem2-2:amd64 2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1         amd64        FreeRDP Remote Desktop Protocol shadow subsystem libraries
ii  libfreerdp-shadow2-2:amd64           2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1         amd64        FreeRDP Remote Desktop Protocol shadow libraries
ii  libfreerdp2-2:amd64                  2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1         amd64        Free Remote Desktop Protocol library (core library)

Option 2: Install from the Debian pool (.deb files)

  1. Download the binaries for amd64 from the Debian pool directory, including at least freerdp2-dev_2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1_amd64.deb and its runtime dependencies such as libfreerdp2-2, libwinpr2-2, etc., from:

    • http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/freerdp2/.​

  2. Install with dpkg and fix dependencies with APT:

    • sudo dpkg -i freerdp2-*2.11.7+dfsg1-6~deb12u1_amd64.deb

    • sudo apt -f install
      This will pull any missing dependencies from your configured repositories where versions are compatible.

Compatibility and rollback notes

  • This version is targeted at bookworm as an oldstable-proposed-updates security/bugfix update, so ABI should remain compatible with packages built against 2.10.0, including Guacamole’s guacd on Debian 12.​

  • To revert, you can downgrade back to the archive version:

    • sudo apt install freerdp2-dev=2.10.0+dfsg1-1 and the matching library versions, or use apt install freerdp2-dev/bookworm to pull the default bookworm release.
