Question: Upgrade doesn't work, no information given why #66

Hi,

I just setup apt-dater to update several hosts. Those hosts are shown in the "Updates pending" section. When I hit "u", the particular host moves into the "Refresh required", then "In refresh" section and then back to the "Updates pending" section, with no updates applied.

Is there any way to check a log of what's going wrong at that point?

My version of apt-dater is 0.9.0.

Thanks Felicitus

Hi Felicitus,

this sounds strange... since the hosts are listed in "Updates pending" the SSH access seems to be working somehow. Could you please try to run a ssh $HOSTNAME apt-dater-host upgrade from your management station?

HTH, Thomas

I just found the issue - I forgot to copy the screenrc. Probably apt-dater should check if the screenrc file it tries to use exists on startup.
