Problem after B2 update

[wm.bubba]

I have just updated my B2 using the web interface, all seemed to go well, but I noticed no no package info was shown:

BUBBA-1.jpeg (65.73 KiB) Viewed 12684 times

Trying to do a further update, results in a parsererror:

BUBBA-2.jpeg (67.67 KiB) Viewed 12684 times

I tried to to update from the command line, but nothing was updated and no errors:

Code: Select all

bubba:/etc/apt# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
bubba:/etc/apt# 

The only thing I can find is the following from syslog entries:

Code: Select all

before update:
Jan 24 17:34:13 bubba php5-cgi: {"bubba-frontend":"2.0.0.9","bubba-backend":"2.0.0.11","bubba-album":"2.0.0.4","filetransferdaemon":"0.50.20","squeezecenter":"7.5.4.dfsg1-2"}

Code: Select all

after update:
Jan 24 18:47:02 bubba php5-cgi: {"bubba-frontend":"2.0.0.9","bubba-backend":null,"bubba-album":"2.1.5","filetransferdaemon":"0.50.20","squeezecenter":"7.5.4.dfsg1-2"}

bubba-album has been updated, but I appear to have lost bubba-backend.

Do I need a full reinstall or is there a way to fix this?

[Ubi]

I guess you already tried "apt-get install bubba-backend"?

[wm.bubba]

I have now:

Code: Select all

bubba:/etc/apt# apt-get install bubba-backend
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
bubba-backend is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
bubba:/etc/apt# 

so maybe this is a red-herring and something else is the problem!

[wm.bubba]

I think maybe my list of repositories is messed up. I've un-commented all the ones that don't give an error, with the following effect:

Code: Select all

bubba:/etc/apt# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  bubba-apt epeg libepeg0 libeutils1 libpoe-xs-queue-array-perl
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
bubba:/etc/apt#

when I try to install the packages listed:

Code: Select all

bubba:/etc/apt# apt-get install bubba-apt epeg libepeg0 libeutils1 libpoe-xs-queue-array-perl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

E: Broken packages

Something is obviously broken, and to me it looks like I have the wrong repositories.
Does anyone have a list of repositories I should be using?

My sources.list is:

Code: Select all

the new bubba-apt re-orgs the /etc/apt folder in a way that it no longer seems to use the original sources list, but uses the excito folder and content, together with some tool called apt-pinning to enable ot disable repos. At least thats my guess. Why this change has been made without documentation or why the system is now unnecessarily complicated is beyond be,

[johannes]

I think you have a mix of our nwe and old system, since you seem to have both marielle (stable) and claire (unstable) enabled in your sources, which obviously will cause wierdness. Please stick to one (preferrably the stable) and see if you can downgrade the stuff you got from claire.

@Ubi, these changes are to avoid this exact kind of mistakes. It makes the web updater use sources from our sources.list. Then people can edit the standard sources.list and do command-line installs or updates without the risk of clicking 'update' in the web updater months later to find their system getting messed up. However, these changes are only from 2.4 so they have still not taken effect on wm.bubba's system.

Thanks Ubi, Johannes.

I thought I has screwed something up. Never mind, time to do a reinstall I think!

I was thinking of installing 2.4-RC1, but if the stable 2.4 release is just round the corner, I'd rather wait for that.

Any news on when this may be released?

[johannes]

the 2.4 stable was just released for B3 (minutes ago). We have some work remaining for b2, but you can install the -RC1 meanwhile if you like (read the form thread though, there are known issues). Updating to the 2.4 stable can be done without reinstalling if you install the -RC1 now.

My guess is two weeks, but I cannot promise anything yet.

[wm.bubba]

That's good news.
Might have a go at the weekend if I can find some spare time.

Thanks.

[wm.bubba]

Thanks for the advice guys.

I have just upgraded to 2.4-RC1. Was just so easy following the instructions on Release notes for Excito Bubba 2 software version 2.4-RC1.

Seems to be working fine now. I'll do a thorough check when the final 2.4 version is released.
