Same here… I´m on version 9.2.4 and when I try to install 9.30 it says it conflicts with Version 7
dpkg: regarding grafana-enterprise_9.3.0_amd64.deb containing grafana-enterprise:
grafana-enterprise conflicts with grafana
grafana (version 7.0.1) is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing archive grafana-enterprise_9.3.0_amd64.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing grafana-enterprise
Errors were encountered while processing:

If I run:
apt-cache policy grafana
It says I have Grafana 7 installed

Thanks for the feedback. It seems it is not a wide issue, but the moment is bad, since there is CVE to be mitigated.
I have same problem: I’m on version 9.1.6 up to 9.3.0

9.3.1 Release doesn’t solve this. I`ve just tried it. Every version above 9.2.4 has the same issue. I’ve tried them all.
i did upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3 in Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS by doing apt-upgrade and it worked for me

Thank you for feedback.
Can you try this?
Install 9.3 separately in a different folder, copy data folder and conf folder from 9.2.3 version, stop 9.2.3 version grafana service, start 9.3 version
Same for me. Cannot go above 9.2.4.
followed the standard procedure below -https://dl.grafana.com/enterprise/release/grafana-enterprise_9.2.5_amd64.deb
too technical for me - other suggestions please

Hi, what will be the impact of this on production environment with several plugins, several datasources and 6-7 exporters only for Prometheus? Do you have any prediction for downtime or possible reconfiguration?

Should be 0 downtime because it is a separate instance of grafana on which you will try things on.
You can even use blue green deployment approach
Blue/green, sometimes referred to as red-black, deployment is a technique for releasing applications by shifting traffic between two identical environments running differing versions of the application. Blue/green deployments help you minimize...
But never, ever upgrade production unless you have tried and tested the upgrade in lower environments. That is just common basic best practice
But if you have to upgrade because you do not have lower environs, you must have a roll back plan.
Depends how critical grafana is to your stakeholders

I understand. But I will pass and wait for another solution. Thanks.

Doesnt get any easier than this vs a linux command line upgrade approach
sudo apt-get install -y adduser libfontconfig1https://dl.grafana.com/enterprise/release/grafana-enterprise_9.3.1_amd64.deb
Had the same error --force-all did the trick for me.

I have a similar problem with one of the grafans and it’s not clear why I can’t update
dpkg: regarding grafana-enterprise_9.2.5_amd64.deb containing grafana-enterprise:

It does - by following @jacoblantz suggestion of force all…
