My Passenger Was Really Old
Couple of weeks ago I updated gems of myrtana and when I wanted to deploy, I got a really weird message:

After three attempts I found out that my passenger was really old. It took me two years to notice. It happened when I switched from passenger repository to Debian one. The version installed is “newer” than all passenger versions in Debian repository. Honestly, this is very shitty configuration of passenger repository and was really hard to overwrite.
I use Apache, so I need to have passenger and libapache2-mod-passenger installed.
Old Passenger
My passenger was quite old since it didn’t update automatically going back to Buster (2019).
root@starz:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# dpkg -l | grep passenger
ii libapache2-mod-passenger 1:6.0.12-1~buster1 amd64 Apache integration for Passenger application server
rc libnginx-mod-http-passenger 1:6.0.2-1~stretch1 amd64 Nginx integration for Passenger application server
ii passenger 1:6.0.12-1~buster1 amd64 Application server for Ruby, Node.js, Python, Meteor
ii passenger-dev 1:6.0.12-1~buster1 amd64 Dependencies for compiling an Nginx module
ii passenger-doc 1:6.0.12-1~buster1 all Documentation for Passenger application server
The changelong is pretty clear: https://github.com/phusion/passenger/blob/stable-6.0/CHANGELOG
I used to have separate repositories for mariadb and passenger:
