Upgrades cannot be synced successfully anymore: rsync Error 23

[tobehn]

Initial situation: The problem ocurred when the system was rebased from a custom image to desktop:main - which hasn't been updated for a couple of weeks (at that point). The the system was switched to desktop:dev.

After abroot upgrade the upgrade process exits with Error: exit status 23 and the system cannot be succssfully upgraded anymore.

Further findings:

• It turned out a few packages which blocked the upgrade where installed via abroot pkg apply
• removal via abroot pkg remove worked, but SYNCING is not successfully applied
• rollback was applied and tested to be upgraded on all mentioned images without success
• it was tested to free up space during upgrade with ABROOT_FREE_SPACE=1 set without success
• rsync error 23 -> partial transfer due to error

It was also tried using latest abroot like suggested here: https://discord.com/channels/1023243680829681704/1230267948980240434

All in all the system is stuck with vos-a and vos-b not upgrading.

Does abroot upgrade -V -f provide more useful log?

I just trigger forced and verbose upgrade. It successfully upgraded the system.

That is a huge question mark. What has changed over the weekend?

[mirkobrombin]

Nothing I think

Well... for some reason it now works for me as well. Just did another upgrade, which worked last time as well; then edited kargs, which failed last time (on multiple retries). After the weekend it now just works. 🤷

Haven't checked if there were any updates to VOS/ABRoot in the last days, but if you @mirkobrombin say there weren't, this is inconclusive to me.

[tobehn]

we do not know the real reason for this behaviour. However, the issue seems to be solved for now as @tobehn and @marvin-te both could successfully update their systems agian.
