jackett stuck on activating

[pengocha]

os: DietPi v6.32.2

Since a few days my jackett won't start anymore, it just shows the status 'activating'. I usually can solve this by running 'sudo dietpi-software reinstall 147' but this gives me an error everytime i try:

APT update │ │ - Command: apt-get -q update │ │ - Exit code: 100 │ │ - DietPi version: v6.32.2 (MichaIng/master) | HW_MODEL: | HW_ARCH: | DISTRO: │ │ - Image creator: DietPi Core Team │ │ - Pre-image: Raspbian Lite │ │ - Error log: │ │ Hit:1 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease │ │ Hit:2 https://apt.sonarr.tv develop InRelease │ │ Hit:3 https://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian raspbianbuster InRelease │ │ Hit:4 https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian buster InRelease │ │ Ign:5 https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge InRelease │ │ Hit:6 https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge Release │ │ Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/extended_states (1) │ │ Can't call method "policy" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/apt-show-versions line 53. │ │ Reading package lists... │ │ E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'test -x /usr/bin/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; │ │ apt-show-versions -i' │ │ E: Sub-process returned an error code

I hope this is enough information, any help is welcome!

Hi,

many thanks for your message. You could clear apt cache and try again installation of Jackett.

/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-set_software apt-cache clean
apt update

Thanks for the reply, tried it out just now; Getting this after i run it:

Do you use a proxy or something like this to connect to the internet?

[pengocha]

I'm behind a router but it has been that way for over a year now

[Joulinar]

hmm usually these error is related to incorrect proxy settings. But if you just have a standard setup with normal internet router, this shouldn't be an issue.

@MichaIng any ideas?

[pengocha]

I also can connect remotly from another device using ssh and access other services like sonarr radarr and transmission. Did a network test from the dietpi config and everything was ok there. I'm connected by lan btw.

[Joulinar]

that's fine. Somehow apt is not working correctly. Usually @MichaIng has good ideas 😄

[MichaIng]

Proxy was also the only idea I got from searching for the error message, especially since all repositories are affected the same way. Does it work to access the file via curl directly?

curl -sSfL http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/dists/buster/InRelease

[Joulinar]

or could it be some incorrect settings about an unused proxy on /etc/apt/apt.conf.d 🤔

Acquire::http::proxy "http://<proxy>";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://<proxy>";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://<proxy>";
Acquire::socks::proxy "socks:<proxy>";

I did a format of my sd card and a clean install. When i boot up i still get the same message and also all the services are active even though i didn't install them yet. It seems that the pi is booting from one of my external drives. Is that possible and can i fix that somehow?

[Joulinar]

what happen if you remove all external drives and just try to boot from SD card?

[pengocha]

A message asking me for root password for maintenance, after entering the password i enter the terminal. All the services are deactivated. I run dietpi-software reinstall 147 the same error after some time. I also noticed some old services that i don't use anymore like qbittorent and webmin, I go into dietpi-software, uninstall them, reboot and they show up again.

[MichaIng]

Which RPi model is it actually? I think RPi 3+ and 4 will automatically prefer SD card to boot from, while on RPi 3 (non-plus) I am not sure if programming the OTP to boot from USB implies that it boots from USB whenever a drive with bootloader found. Or is there some sort of overlayfs loaded?

Let's get an overview of what is attached and mounted:

df -T
lsblk

webmin was btw already/still installed in your first post. Uninstalling it through dietpi-software would have removed the APT repository your output shows that it is still present.

I'm not 100% sure but it looks like a problem with the sd card. Even though i formated it multiple times over the last couple of days the problem wans't solved. I took a new sd card with a clean image file and my hdd's connected and the problem was gone. i'm reinstalling everything as i speak. Keep you posted.

[Joulinar]

Yes that's a good reason that your SD card got damaged

[pengocha]

Reinstalled everything on a new sd and its working again, thread can be closed, thank you all for helping!

[Joulinar]

ok to bad that your SD card gave up. But at least everything working now using new SD card. Going to close the topic. Feel free to reopen if needed.
