Title: Latest version 24.7.8 in continuous update loop?
Post by: erik.tank on November 06, 2024, 06:54:45 PM
I updated from 24.7.7 to 24.7.8 today and when I check on updates AFTER updating to 24.7.8 (and rebooting), I got a list of 18 upgrades available - all of them install without error - but the updates are still available to install afterward running/installing the updates.  Rebooting did not help - updates stay persistent that they want to update the next time I check for updates. 

Can anyone provide some clarity or instructions for proper maintenance in this situation?

Because of third party repos (again).

I'm unsure why this happens now more than ever, but there is also nothing that can be done from the "OPNsense" repo perspective. The package manager probably needs a fix here which would be better than burden third party repos with immediate rebuilds all the time.

Try to move /boot/kernel.old to somewhere else. UFS corruption?

# mv /boot/kermel.old /tmp

That's how I usually deal with defunct inodes. ;)
