marketplace package update is not allowed

Error message

marketplace package update is not allowed

What it means

UpdateBazaarPackage walks the computed update list for the package type; if the matching marketplace entry sets DisallowUpdate, updates are forbidden for that package and this error is returned instead of installing. The package author flagged this version line as non-updatable (e.g. deprecated or forked).

Solutions

1. Uninstall the package and install the successor/new version fresh from the marketplace
2. Clear stale marketplace cache so the DisallowUpdate flag state refreshes
3. Contact the package author or check the repo README for the recommended upgrade path

Example fix

// before: unconditional update attempt
if err := model.UpdateBazaarPackage("plugins", name, frontend); err != nil { return err }
// after: fall back to reinstall on disallow
if err := model.UpdateBazaarPackage("plugins", name, frontend); err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "not allowed") { return reinstallPackage("plugins", name) }
    return err
}

updates := model.GetUpdatedPackages(pkgType, frontend)
for _, u := range updates {
  if u.Installed != nil && u.Installed.Name == name && u.Available != nil && u.Available.DisallowUpdate {
    return errors.New("update disallowed; reinstall instead")
  }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the update-package API (or UI 'update' action) for a package whose cached marketplace metadata has DisallowUpdate=true; the flag was recently set upstream while a stale local copy still offers the update.

Common situations: Packages whose repo was archived or renamed so direct updates are disabled; authors redirecting users to a differently-named successor package; stale marketplace cache still listing the old entry.
