Self-update doesn't seem to work

[noeck]

Hi @mrodent many Linux distros remove the self-update because it interferes with their own package management.

What happened to self-update on Ubuntu 24.04?

Most distros remove self-update functionality because it works against package management. As far as I can find, its the following commit patch that removes self-update in Ubuntu noble. There is also a open bug report that references problems with self-update: restic version downgraded after package upgrade/reinstallation. Arch Linux does the same: unknown command “self-update” for “restic” #4206
