update-requests are missed by sce-update -a
« on: November 12, 2015, 11:06:48 PM »
hi friends,

i regulary check for updates with sce-update -a.
for the last days i received no update-requests.
by using sce-purge i noticed that my libreoffice-packages are outdated.
so with sce-import i downloaded the missed updated packages.

i noticed this misbehavior for a couple of times and informed the forum about it.
do you have an idea about the reasons for this misbehavior?

thank you for your help and commitment to this project.

Are you using sce-debpurge?

Which dCore are you using?

I don't see anything in the code that would be doing this.

If you can provide a list of debs that are determined out of date by sce-debpurge but were not by sce-update would be most helpful.

hi jason,

that happens so seldom, so it's hard to determine.

this time it happened with libreoffice:
libreoffice-gnome
libreoffice-style-tango
and it's dependencies...

thank you for your help and interest.

Of course, there is the possibility that in the time between running sce-update and sce-debpurge the DEBINX files on the server were updated, which could cause what you are seeing.  It is not likely, but possible.

I will run sce-update and then sce-debpurge myself for a bit and see if I can see the same.

The issue seemed to be a typo in sce-debpurge.  Uploading new cut to release_candidates.

Thank you for the report and for helping to improve dCore.

hi jason,

also this new cut still tries to update in infinite loops:

tc@box:~$ sce-update -a

100-desktop-jessie
200-multimedia-jessie
libreoffice
virtualbox
The above SCEs are about to be updated.  Press Enter to proceed, y to view package updates, or Ctrl-C to abort..

tc@box:~$ md5sum /mnt/sdb1/live/dcore-current/boot/dCore-jessie.gz

I can confirm this.
I did sce-update xorg-all and the system updated gstreamer1 & xorg-all.
Then I rebooted and I got the same update.
xorg-all dep: gstreamer1
gstreamer1 dep: base

I see on my install what is happening, SCEs with a .dep file are having the contents of dependent SCEs checked against the main SCEs md5sum file and since those entries are not there, they are failing md5sum check and being listed as needing updating.   I am getting closer to a fix, hopefully sometime today.

Found a test that produced false update info.  Hopefully fixed now or at least back to where we were.  New release candidates, please test.
