[Packaging] Can't find ubuntu packages for libarrow v12 since release of v13

[taschik]

Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

Hi,

I used to install libarrow using the "latest" tag our ubuntu servers

      - name: Install Dependent Libraries for libarrow and postgres
        run: |
          # Install libarrow
          sudo apt install -y -V ca-certificates lsb-release wget
          wget https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/arrow/$(lsb_release --id --short | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')/apache-arrow-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb
          sudo apt install -y -V ./apache-arrow-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb
          sudo apt-get update -y
          sudo apt-get install -y libpq-dev libarrow-dev libarrow-glib-dev libparquet-glib-dev libgirepository-1.0-1 libgirepository1.0-dev

However, with the release of v13, this doesn't work anymore. I would like to continue using v12 but https://apache.jfrog.io/ui/native/arrow/ubuntu/ contains only latest and https://arrow.apache.org/release/12.0.0.html points to the same page. Are v12 packages not being build anymore? Where could I find v12 deb packages?

Are their any plans to bump the ruby libs as well? The most recent still requires only v12 of arrow.

I was able to solve it by using the following configuration:

      - name: Install Dependent Libraries for libarrow and postgres
        run: |
          # Install libarrow
          sudo apt install -y -V ca-certificates lsb-release wget
          sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 91D18FCF079F8007
          sudo add-apt-repository "deb [trusted=yes] https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/arrow/ubuntu/ focal main"
          wget https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/arrow/ubuntu/pool/focal/main/a/apache-arrow-apt-source/apache-arrow-apt-source_12.0.1-1_all.deb
          sudo apt install -y -V ./apache-arrow-apt-source_12.0.1-1_all.deb
          sudo apt-get update -y
          sudo apt-get install -y libpq-dev libarrow-dev libarrow-glib-dev libparquet-glib-dev libgirepository-1.0-1 libgirepository1.0-dev

this doesn't work anymore.

What does mean?
"libarrow-dev 13.0.0-1 not 12.0.1-1 is installed"?

I don't think that #37346 (comment) is the right solution. For example,

          sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 91D18FCF079F8007
          sudo add-apt-repository "deb [trusted=yes] https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/arrow/ubuntu/ focal main"

is meaningless because sudo apt install -y -V ./apache-arrow-apt-source_12.0.1-1_all.deb prepares the Apache Arrow's APT repository.

I think that the following is what you want:

          # Install libarrow
          sudo apt install -y -V ca-certificates lsb-release wget
          wget https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/arrow/$(lsb_release --id --short | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')/apache-arrow-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb
          sudo apt install -y -V ./apache-arrow-apt-source-latest-$(lsb_release --codename --short).deb
          sudo apt-get update -y
          arrow_version=12.0.1-1
          sudo apt-get install -y libpq-dev libarrow-dev=${arrow_version} libarrow-glib-dev=${arrow_version} gir1.2-arrow-1.0=${arrow_version} libparquet-dev=${arrow_version} libparquet-glib-dev=${arrow_version} gir1.2-parquet-1.0=${arrow_version}

We'll push red-* gems after Homebrew/homebrew-core#140253 and msys2/MINGW-packages#18242 are merged.

You are right @kou. Thanks so much for pointing this out. It is cleaner and works well.
