I have installed tezos-client on MacOS via Home Brew. After Ithaca upgrade I am getting the following error message:

Fatal error: unknown protocol version.

I tried upgrading tezos-client by: 1)brew tap serokell/tezos-packaging https://github.com/serokell/tezos-packaging.git 2)brew tap serokell/tezos-packaging-stable https://github.com/serokell/tezos-packaging-stable.git

Without success. Any idea what else I can try?

It sounds like you are using an old version of tezos-client, you need at least v12.0 for Ithaca support.

You can check what version you are running by executing tezos-client --version, with the latest release (at the time of writing) it should show:

61fed540 (2022-03-31 10:53:22 +0200) (12.2)

Both tezos-packaging and tezos-packaging-stable are updated to the latest available Octez version (v12.2, as you can see above) and brew tap should be able to find that.

If you still have trouble I recommend checking brew's documentation or opening a new issue in tezos-packaging.

  • Hi thanks for your reply. I have run both tezos-packaging and tezos-packaging-stable. When running "brew tap" I get the info that both packages are installed: homebrew/core serokell/tezos-packaging serokell/tezos-packaging-stable Unfortunately the client still hasnt upgraded - after running tezos-client --version it shows it is still on 11.0 Any idea what can be done? Maybe uninstall tezos-client and reinstall it?

  • It sounds like you have used brew tap already, so you should be able to update. I believe that the commands to run should be: brew update followed by another brew install tezos-client

  • it's probably also not the best idea to have both taps, to avoid confusion I suggest keeping only one of them (the stable one) and removing the cutting-edge one with brew untap serokell/tezos-packaging

  • Yes having both taps was probably the issue since client didnt know which one to consider. I was able to resolve it by simply uninstalling tezos-client and reinstalling it with the "stable" package. Now its back up and running. Thanks for your help! Will consider your proposed steps when next protocol upgrade is coming:)
