The repository 'https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt gcsfuse-trixie Release' does not have a Release file.

Description

While following the official gcsfuse installation guide on the current stable release, Debian 13 (“Trixie”), I encountered a repository error.

Workaround

Use the repository for the previous stable Debian release (“bookworm”) instead of dynamically detecting the codename with lsb_release -c -s:

export GCSFUSE_REPO="gcsfuse-bookworm"

Notes

• It is possible to install the gcsfuse-bookworm repository on Debian Trixie.
• I’m reporting this because Debian’s current stable is now “Trixie,” not “Bookworm,” and Google’s official installation instructions should work without any manual workarounds. Debian Trixie (released August 9, 2025) ought to be supported directly.

hi @stankolubomir, thanks for reporting this. We haven't created a separate package for Debian-13/trixie yet. From this wikipedia article and as you also said, it was launched only on August 9, 2025.

There is no published Debian-13 image at GCP OS Images which we use for builds and testing, so we might not be able to provide gcsfuse-trixie right away.

I understand the concern and I'll take a feature request to publish gcsfuse-trixie as soon as it becomes feasible.

In the meantime, please continue to use gcsfuse-bookworm on it, and report any issues you find with this combination.
