Software version 2.0.4.1
Current package versions give no information, it only say "Retreiving package information..."
If I try to update system I get
"Error: parsererror
syslog say:

Is there anything I can do or do I need to do a total reinstalation of everything to get it up and running again?
Tank you,

can you still get into the command shell or is the unit dead?

Have you tried updating manually?
Using SSH log in
then get Root access:
su
(password is: excito)
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
this might work.

Hi Christer,
I don't think I ever had to do this on the bubbas, but when I get those "kept back" messages from apt-get on Ubuntu, I normally get around them by:
Please be careful, I have not experienced your problem, I don't know what caused it, and I don't know what extra packages aptitude might decide to install when you execute that command.
You will get a summary of what it will do, and a chance to cancel it.
Best regards,
Cheeseboy

The kept back messages usually implies you need to do a dist-upgrade. I.e. aptitude dist-upgrade. This may result in extra packages being installed or deprecated packages being removed.

He did
# apt-get dist-upgrade
But aptitude seems better at resolving problems...
I would start with safe-upgrade.

Abort.
Second time I tried it looked like bubba frontend and backend together with outer things was to be removed.
Looks very wrong.
This looks tricky.

Sorry,
No idea.
My suggestion would be to contact excito by email.

You should not use aptitude on Bubba use apt-get instead.
Aptitude smartens can often remove way to much as you noticed.
An
should do the trick. An
dist-upgrade rather then just an
upgrade is needed in some situation when a lot of package changes needs to be done.

If you had read the thread you would have known it was the first thing the OP did before even asking about his problem on this forum.
It was others (well, me) that suggested aptitude as a possible solution.

Totally disagree with this. Apt-get on the Bubba is no good at auto-removing dependent packages when they are no longer needed. Aptitude does a much better job.
@Christer, something looks totally hosed on your Bubba. If you can afford to, a reinstall looks like a good bet.

Thank you all for input,
I will go for a reinstall.
I run my bubba2 with RAID, so it should just be to disconnect the external disk, reinstall bubba2 and then recreate the RAID.
Guess I will need to redo everything with adding users, installing and configure NFS.
But it is not to much.
All the best,
/Christer

I don't have RAID set up on my B2 but isn't there something about not being able to recreate the array from an external disk, only the internal one?
