Problem with recent update #1726

Closed andredevleeschouwer closed 3 weeks ago

andredevleeschouwer commented 5 months ago

Today I have Vienna 3.8.8. Vienna asks for an update to 3.9.0, warning that Mac OS 10.13 of later is necessary. On my computer is 10.13.6. However, after downloading, unpacking and trying to install I get the message that installing is not possible, because there an error occurred. I did this already 4 times, always with the same result. See 2 printscreens. Regards, André De Vleeschouwer.

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Seems that the screenshots are missing in your post, though. Can you add them and maybe look for any log file from the installation process?

andredevleeschouwer commented 5 months ago

Sorry for the inconvenience. Here the two screenshots.

Kind regards. André De Vleeschouwer.

OK, my complaint was that I tried 4 times to update to Vienna version 3.9.0, my current version is 3.8.8.

The pictures were the popups. One said that it is about version 3.9.0, the other said that after downloaden and unpacking, "Bijwerken" or update did not work properly due to an error during this process.

I just tried it again, with exactly the same result.

My OS is 10.13.6, hence obviously OK for the new Vienna version.

Kind regards.

This seems to be an issue with the Sparkle updater. Without the exact wording of the error, this cannot be investigated further.

As a workaround, you can also just download the latest version of Vienna from GitHub and install it.

andredevleeschouwer commented 5 months ago

OK, thank you. I took the newest version from the Vienna website, and tried to install. The message is similar:

Vienna3.9.0.tar kan niet tot 'Programma's' worden uitgepakt. (Fout 1 - Bewerking niet toegestaan.)

Translated: Vienna3.9.0.tar cannot being unpacked to 'Programma's'. (Error 1 - Operation not allowed.

I had the same message when I started the upgrade to the Desktop.

What is the problem ? Am I wrong in any way ?

Regards. André De Vleeschouwer.

I have had the same problem ... I don't know exactly what's wrong with this .tgz file, but under MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave), both the system program and an application called "Archiver" report the same problem. I was able to solve it by using a third program called "BetterZip", which was able to extract the application from the .tgz without any errors.

Don't ask me why or what the differences are ... I don't know, but it was the only way I could update the program.

Suggestion, wouldn't it be possible to use a more standard .zip or .dmg?

Guglielmo

andredevleeschouwer commented 5 months ago

Dear Guglielmo,

Your advice worked with BetterZip. But nevertheless it is strange that the normal built-in unzipper from Mac doesn't. Can it still be reported as a bug ? Everything should work properly.

Kind regards. André De Vleeschouwer.

@barijaona I think the problem #1611 is back.

Vienna3.9.0.tgz is using "POSIX pax interchange format" instead of "POSIX ustar format". I have not found the problematic files though.

If someone on 10.13 or 10.14 could try this: tar --extract --gzip --verbose --file Vienna3.9.0.tgz

and post the Terminal output, it could help.

Edit: All files in Vienna3.9.0.tgz have the "com.apple.provenance" extended attribute, which is missing in Vienna3.8.8.tgz (Vienna3.9.0_beta1.tgz does not have it either). This might be the problem.

@andredevleeschouwer: Can you check whether the 3.9.0 beta version extracts without errors using the system Archive Utility?

gpb01 commented 5 months ago

Tried on macOS 10.14.6 with the following command:

tar --extract --gzip --verbose --file /Users/gpb01/Desktop/Vienna3.9.0.tgz 2> /Users/gpb01/Desktop/extract.log

... attached is the error log:

extract.log

Guglielmo

Eitot commented 5 months ago

@gpb01 Thanks. I suppose this means that every file in the archive is affected by this error. I suspect that it is indeed the above mentioned attribute "com.apple.provenance".

gpb01 commented 5 months ago

Better but still 6 errors:

... x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/libswiftFoundation.dylib x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/._Resources tar: Ignoring malformed pax extended attribute x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Resources x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/ x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/._Autoupdate tar: Ignoring malformed pax extended attribute x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Autoupdate x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/._Updater.app tar: Ignoring malformed pax extended attribute x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Updater.app x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/._XPCServices tar: Ignoring malformed pax extended attribute x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/XPCServices x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/._Sparkle tar: Ignoring malformed pax extended attribute x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Sparkle x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/._Current tar: Ignoring malformed pax extended attribute x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/Current x Vienna.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/ ...

Hope this help :)

Guglielmo

Eitot commented 5 months ago

@gpb01 Thanks again. Those 6 files (file links) also have the "com.apple.provenance" attribute.

For some reason that attribute survived the xattr -c -r Vienna.app during the build process. When I use that command on the extracted copy, the "com.apple.provenance" attribute is successfully removed (macOS 14.3).

zorgiepoo commented 4 months ago

Use --no-xattrs when creating the tar. Clearing them before creating the tar is somewhat of a race condition / hack.

scrutinizer11 commented 4 months ago

I concur. Upon downloading the update package and hitting "Install" the error "error occurred while trying to extract the archive". macOS 10.14
