8.7.2 -> 8.7.4: /usr/lib/libmagic.a: Lzma library error: Corrupted input data

[angel2040]

So it seems I can no longer upgrade via the gui.  I always have to remote login and do it by hand.  Anyone know how I can fix this recurring error?

Extract fails. I've seen this too a few times while testing 19.1-BETA internally.

The thing is that the update sets are signed and verified, which means there's no corruption happening other than maybe:

* being out of memory
* being out of disk space
* hardware dying
* overheating causing data corruption
* some other reasonable explanation we have not yet found

I'm using

Ram: 1.8 gigs / 16 gigs
Disk: 1% out of / 445 gigs

So that's not it. 

Hardware is relatively new, but I'll check system log for any hardware issue.
Overheating?  Would see system logs about cpu temps and such?
What pkg is that file in?  Should I reinstall it and try again?

Thanks for the additional input. Seems to be a more weird case indeed. :/

You can re-trigger as many times as it fails from the GUI I think. Does it always fail there?

I had to powercycle it as I couldn't even log into remotely.  It came up and it was working fine.  It's displaying 18.7.5.  I ran

pkg upgrade -f

on cmdline to be sure.  No errors.  But how do I know if I got the latest kernel?

root@XXX:/var/log # uname -a
FreeBSD XXX.com 11.1-RELEASE-p14 FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p14  93e30e927e5(stable/18.7)  amd64

kernel / base are not part of the packages.

# opnsense-update -k

... updates kernel if needed

# opnsense-update -b

.... updates base if needed

Requires a reboot to finish.

Looks ok:

root@XXX:/var/log # opnsense-update -k
Your system is up to date.

root@XXX:/var/log # opnsense-update -b

Yes, that's what I meant. There's nothing wrong with the base set unpack except that it may fail with the lzma error for no apparent reason.
