Upgrade to Bullseye

Support
1

Set in Plynth such that the upgrade should run to bullseye, but I get this error message in var/log/unattended-upgrades…:

dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
loading files list file for package ‘python-django-common’: cannot read /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-django-common.list (Input/output error)
Error: Timeout was reached
Snapshot ‘11533’ not found.

The log in Plinth says
“2021-08-16 06:35:12,010 ERROR Installing the upgrades failed!
2021-08-16 06:35:12,309 ERROR error message: installArchives() failed
2021-08-16 06:35:12,326 ERROR dpkg returned a error! See /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log for details”
and it is full of “2021-08-16 06:29:42,810 WARNING package xxx upgradable but fails to be marked for upgrade ()”

Do I have to run the upgrade from consol?

By the way: Cockpit gives an internal server error

EDIT:
$ ls -l python-django-common.list
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 358350 Jun 19 2020 python-django-common.list

EDIT2:
$ cat python-django-common.list
returns an i/O error:
“/usr/share/python-django-common/django/contrib/flatpages/locale/ga/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
/usr/share/python-django-commoncat: python-django-common.list: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler”

but “tail” works
however if I read through it with “nano”, it breaks at the same point.
Something is broken in that file, maybe some “bad” character?
We need a good version of this file.

The upgrade doesn’t work for me neither !

Is a manual upgrade needed? How?

Besides, my contact server with radicale seems broken.

EDIT: Is it a good idea to do an unattended upgrade to switch to Debian 11.0 exactly when it is released? Is Debian 11.0 compatible with all the freedombox packages?

4

my ejabberd attachments are not working

message on client states failed to connect to port 5443

any thoughts?

5

Did you have the unattended upgrade to Bullseye too?

6

@Avron:
My radicale also has hick-ups, had to create 2 new calendars, error 500. That is surely a different topic. (This happend prior to the upgrade, about 2-3 weeks ago).
And also Syncthing is not running, since 4-6 weeks, I guess. Hope this resolves with the upgrade.

PS: see my EDIT2 in the first post with the broken file. That might be the cause of the failing upgrade.

7

In Bullseye, python-django-common is now a virtual package provided by python3-django.

On my box (already upgraded to Bullseye), the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-django-common.list is empty.

# ls -al /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-django-common*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   0 Aug 15 12:52 /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-django-common.list
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 195 Jun 14  2020 /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-django-common.postrm

And this package is not installed:

# apt policy python-django-common
python-django-common:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
     1:1.11.29-1~deb10u1 -1
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
8

So the best way is to do a re-install with Bullseye?

9

I think this problem is related to this comment

10

When can we expect new images to download for Bullseye? I am running on LIME(1).

11

Joseph is working updating the build infrastructure to create new stable images. Images should be available in a few days.

12

Great, I will run a new new install with Bullseye then. It was easy the last time I did.
We have to improve reliability of the FreedomBox in order to make it “mainstream” feasible. What could be the cause of the failure of the upgrade? Did it work for anyone flawlessly? It might be a faulty µSD card on my side which crashed the python-django-common.list file. Therefore, I would like to understand if more users had issues or not with the upgrade.

13

I did have issues, but not sure if it was the upgrade or maintenance work from my cable provider, which happened around the same time. I was locked out on my box via domain name. TOR and IP still worked, but http only. I went to the GnuDIP page and updated my settings, which did the job. Miraculously my ejabberd config was somehow cured after the update as well.

14

My pioneer box seems fully functional after upgrade to Bullseye but:

  • cockpit reports that calible content server failed to start (I have not clue what this is)
  • the sources seem to refer to bullseye and some packages are indicated as upgradable:
root@fbox:/etc/apt# cat sources.list

Should I try “apt upgrade” in command line?
What is version 21.4.4~bpo10+1 of the freedombox package as compared to 21.4.4?

About reinstall everything from a bullseye image: I don’t know how to restore all the accounts and data from my backups on a fresh image, and whether I should use a backup from before the upgrade to Bulleye or just from now.

15

It is this issue: calibre, wordpress: Services tries to start before app is installed (#1982) · Issues · FreedomBox / FreedomBox · GitLab
If you don’t use Calibre, then you can just ignore it.

21.4.4~bpo10+1 is nearly identical to 21.4.4, but 21.4.4 will try to replace fuse with fuse3. (freedombox and sshfs being upgraded at the same time should cause this replacement.)

Before using the command line, have you tried the “Manual Update” feature on the System → Update page of FreedomBox interface?

16

The following happened in the early morning today (before I tried manual upgrade):
This is from /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log

The “ERROR Lock file is already taken” appears only once in the log file, so this is new. I did not try anything new yesterday (besides looking into cockpit). Apparently, the tor package was upgraded.

I just tried the manual update in the web interface, the same packages are still upgradable, cockpit now says that freedombox-manual-upgrade.service failed to start.

I could try the command line update but I am a bit worried by the “Lock file is already taken”.

17

This typically means that another update process is running.

I think you can try the command line update. If the lock file is still taken, it will not do anything, but will let you know about this.

18

“apt -s upgrade” says it will not upgrade 3 packages.

I tried “apt -s install packageX” for each upgradable package

  • freedombox: will remove fuse
  • sshfs: will remove fuse
  • guile-2.2-libs: will remove libgc1c2

I understand from your previous answer that removal of fuse is ok.
Is the removal of liggc1c2 ok?

Should I do “apt upgrade --with-new-pkgs” to avoid marking them as manually installed if I ask to install them? (what I think I understood from searching for such kind of situation)

19

The problem is that this only installs one package at a time.

The way the fuse → fuse3 transition was handled, requires freedombox and sshfs to both be upgraded at the same time.

It’s ok to remove fuse, as long as fuse3 is getting installed in its place.

I’m not as familiar with libgc1c2, but I think it’s ok to remove, as long as libgc1 is getting installed in its place.

20

I successfully did the upgrade of the 3 packages with a single “apt install” command.
I now have v21.7 of freedombox.

Thanks !

During the upgrade, apt complained several times about locales, with messages such as:

Failed to set locale. Fix your system.
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:

I have the web interface in French, formatting according to conventions in France and the logs/system messages in English, and these are exactly my preferences.

Should I do something to avoid the “no such file or directory” that sounds a little worrying?
