APPS failed update recurring issue

[coreplayer2]

APPS update frequently fails to update one or more extensions.

Today I booted an older tc-4.7 system and ran Update deps, followed by APPS Update.  the Dep's update succeeded, however two of the 20+ extensions requiring updates failed to update.  Even after a reboot APPS continuously fails to update these two extensions.




Same results when using tce-update


I verified ownership and permissions of suspect extensions, confirmed tc:staff and 644
regardless I set all files in optional/* to tc:staff and 664

Code: [Select]

cd /mnt/sda1/tce/optional
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec sudo chown tc:staff {} +
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec sudo chmod 664 {} +then tried unsuccessfully to update several more times.


After manually deleting both bluefish.tcz & bluefish.tcz.md5.txt and rebooting,  APPS successfully downloaded and installed bluefish.tcz (updated version).


Applies to tc-4 & tc-5

other extension which are not updated during either update process are

getFlash11.tcz
gnutls2.tcz
nettle.tcz

Curl, bluefish, and gnutls2 had outdated zsync files, corrected. getFlash and nettle have up-to-date files, so their failure is due to something else.

Thank you for providing specifics. I was able to reproduce the problem with 4.7.7 and I have identified the problem. It is not with APPS or tce-update. I updated curl, getFlash, and nettle.

The old saying garbage in garbage out. Those specific 4.x extensions did not have their .zsync files updated. Therefore the update sent via zsync was incorrect. Therefore the md5sum check failed. Therefore APPS or tce-update failed.

Thanks, I ran the update this morning on two systems using tc-4 and updates of difficult extensions completed successfully. 


Unfortunately I do not have any records of the extensions in tc-5 which caused the same (or at least similar) issue.
