Title: Continual issues updating
Post by: Matthew_Kent on December 04, 2025, 09:32:23 AM
Hi all,

I've been having repeated errors with the update process, both with packages and with the base update.  Usually after several attempts, and multiple swapping of mirrors, it finally succeeds.  Is it possible for me to manually copy the update files and signatures to the firewall?

Yes.  The only connection I can get here is via a 5G connection.  I can manually download the files fine from the distribution sites, so was wondering if I just download them and then SCP them to the correct location it will save the firewall from having to do the download.

For some reason (lib)fetch has issues with LTE connections. The package manager itself switched to libcurl. I assume your packages updated fine and you're left struggling with how to update the base/kernel? If so I can show you the manual commands to update (and downloading the sets with curl).

I do quite often have issues with the packages too (but seemingly only the larger ones {mainly Crowdsec}).  Knowing the manual command would be useful if you'd care to share.  May be of help to others on LTE connections in the future too.

Thanks,
Matt

I'm back again as 25.7.11 has been released and I'm again failing to update over LTE.  Is there a way of downloading the binaries manually?
