mirrors.tcz update failed
« on: August 04, 2012, 11:45:07 PM »
Seems, my tiny core machines now have an issue with mirrors.tcz.  I've have even deleted the tcz, rebooted, reinstalled it on boot, and when it checks for updates it finds mirrors.tcz again.  very odd.


Is there a way to get a detailed report on why it fails, not just "update failed"

checked the tmp dir, and the error reports were empty.  shrug.

Jason.

The mirror used is the one listed in /opt/tcemirror.
Mirrors.tcz is an optional package, and is only needed if you wish to use other than the default repo.

Yes, I am aware of that.  (I use it as a easy way to restore the repository address since in a previous version, I had noticed a bug where the address in tcemirror was overwritten, and the app browser would be broken.)

You must of missed something, so I'll try again.

My systems are reporting mirrors.tcz as needing an update, but trying to update the tcz reports the msg "update failed".

So then I marked the tcz for deletion, and rebooted, then installed mirrors.tcz, then checked for updates, which to my suprise it said it needed to be updated.


If you delete, reboot and install a tcz, and then check for an update, how could it possibly find an update available??  Shouldn't it of installed the latest version of the tcz in question??

Also, I would like to see the error on why it failed to update, not just the simple msg "update failed".  That would at least point me to the reason why it failed.

As you can see, something has happened to mirrors.tcz that is not allowing it to be updated for some reason or another, which is why I'm posting.

I have 3 machines, that all report this problem.

Jason.

As subject says, mirrors.tcz installation and update from repo fails. I experience it in the last few days.

Fresh install works here, and md5 and zsync are up to date. Not sure what could cause this.

edit: lists refreshed, seems to be good now.

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
