If packages don't install please post your /var/cache/opnsense-update/.upgrade.log


Thanks,
Franco

Okay, changing that file fixed it. Great job, that's for responding and posting the remedy.

I'm back up again,

franco:
Nevermind me asking for logs. Maybe in the future I should steer away from asking for debug output or general criticism of "why does this not work and why does nobody fix it".

Anecdote: over a year ago someone complained that we should have logs for major upgrades. Complaints are nice,  but it seems like irony to me now.


Cheers,
Franco

Dear Franco,

Please don't take any of my "why does it" comments negatively. For me thats always a genuine technical curiosity as to what could have happened and not a frustration that things arent working as expected. This is actually the main reason why I run FOSS software, and its a fun process.

You have helped me directly before (was a newbie and didnt understand the FRR integration), for which I am grateful.

I do know that moderating fora can be a thankless task, so I thank you for doing it.

I didn't manage to upload the file due to time constraints, but here it is now. I haven't looked at it and dont know how useful it is now that the system upgraded ok, I did include some debug output in the original posts, but maybe not enough, so apologies for that.

Reading the other thread about long running "python37-3.7.8_1 and ruby can take ages" I guess I may be a victim of that (prematurely restarting the host) but, as I am running on an old ESXI host of mine with a quad core  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5420 @ 2.50GHz (4 cores) on a hardware RAID controller with a RAID10 SAS mirror I figured it had had enough time... Lesson learned.

Anyway, thanks again for all the support.

Alex

Hi Alex,

No worries. I just sometimes feel help fast can be quite impossible under certain conditions :D

Looking at the log:

[133/133] Upgrading opnsense from 20.1.9_1 to 20.7...
[133/133] Extracting opnsense-20.7: ........

It looks like it almost finished the final (and most important package in that mirror URL debacle) package but got interrupted. I'm guessing just a few seconds missing.


Cheers,
Franco
