problems with upgrade (incorrect name) #565

Closed Philosoft closed 6 years ago

Philosoft commented 6 years ago

I will post it here, since I cannot find chat to ask a question or any specific place to post bugs. Sorry, if it's wrong place to post such bug, redirect me in right direction please.

My setup

Freshly (10.01.2018) downloaded and installed elementary os. No additional PPAs. After installation my work've been:

apt update; apt upgrade; apt install chromium-browser firefox mc pydf grc zsh git transmission; dpkg -i ~/Downloads/slack.deb ; apt install -f; apt autoremove

So, I have pretty standard system.

Problem

apt update leads to

My hypotesis

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elementary.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu loki main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu loki main

There should be xenial instead of loki. Same goes for

Taken actions

I've done this find /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ -type f -exec sed -i.bak -e 's/loki/xenial/' '{}' \; Then apt upgrade. Below lies output of apt upgrade

After this operation, 20,9 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Many packages with names pantheon-*, switchboard-*, *gala*, *vala* etc, lead me to think, that this is correct decision.

Question

Is my actions from previous section is the right ones? Am I safe to upgrade? (I think so). If that's the case - should I report it somewhere else? Make a simple PR? (cannot find related repo though)

peteruithoven commented 6 years ago

I think the stack exchange is a more appropriate place? Mostly since this is not really a bug with the appcenter and Elementary OS, it's a bug in Slack's deb. You'll probably get the same issue when running simply dpkg -i ~/Downloads/slack.deb ? (you could also use Eddy to more easily install debs.)

Similar issue: https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/6649

Philosoft commented 6 years ago

Issue, you've mentioned is totally unrelated to this. And slack totally unrelated to this. In sake of proof, I've completely removed and reinstalled it (sudo apt purge slack-desktop ; sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/slack.deb) it did not affect /etc/apt/sources.list.d/{elementary,appcenter,patches}.list in any way or form.

Problem here with default /etc/apt/source.list.d/{elementary,appcenter,patches}.list files which contain incorrect release name

peteruithoven commented 6 years ago

Disclaimer: I'm no expert on this. What's confusing here is that Loki is the Elementary OS version, which is build on the Xenial Ubuntu version. During the installation some thirt party packages will assume you're on a Ubuntu system, check the version, they get "loki" which they don't support. Usually you can replace that "loki" into "xenial" during the installation of third party packages and it all works.

I'll let other chime in on whether that issue is related or not.

Philosoft commented 6 years ago

Point of this issue is to report that this occurs somewhere in the system with system packages, may be during installation process (since dpkg doesn't have record of any of affected files).

davidmhewitt commented 6 years ago

@peteruithoven It does sound unrelated, I doubt Slack would be modifying a sources file that doesn't belong to it.

@Philosoft I notice your computer hitting some russian mirrors there. What language did you select when installing the system? And have you changed language settings at any point?

Philosoft commented 6 years ago

@davidmhewitt During installation I choose english as primary language (default), russian (default again, when step with choosing layout began) as additional layout and Europe/Moscow as timezone (was default, autodetect, I guess). Region and language settings screenshot below

screenshot from 2018-01-11 17-29-37

I did not choose, click or do anything here

it doesn't matter, as I see it) problem lies with elementary-ppa, which doesn't have any mirrors

davidmhewitt commented 6 years ago

@Philosoft It may not matter but I'm just asking to see what may be different about your setup.

I have installed elementary multiple times, upgraded, installed packages (including Slack) and not seen this problem. We have occasionally seen strange unconfirmed issues with the package manager in the past when elementary has been installed in a different language.

I will try later to install elementary in a virtual machine following your steps and see if I can reproduce this.

A couple more questions: 1) Did you have an internet connection while installing? 2) Did you check the install updates/3rd party software checkboxes in the installer? 3) How soon after installing did this issue occur? Were you able to perform any updates from the elementary PPAs after installation, or were they always broken as soon as the system was installed?

Philosoft commented 6 years ago

Did you have an internet connection while installing?

yes

Did you check the install updates/3rd party software checkboxes in the installer?

yes. both of them (autoupdate and install 3rd party)

How soon after installing did this issue occur?

may be from the start. But for sure, I've noticed it today (less then 20h after installation)

Were you able to perform any updates from the elementary PPAs after installation, or were they always broken as soon as the system was installed?

Sadly, I cannot tell this for sure. apt update ; apt upgrade did worked, some packages was downloaded, upgraded etc, but I did not paid enough attention to see - whether they come from PPA or not.

I was about to try and reproduce it in virtualbox, but strangely, after I launch vbox with elementary.iso attached to it all system hangs and not responding to anything (including any magic with alt+sysrq)

davidmhewitt commented 6 years ago

Thank you for the information, I will look into this and see if I can reproduce the issue.

If possible, could you look to see if your installation log files are available in /var/log/installer and provide those too if they exist?

Philosoft commented 6 years ago

/var/log/installer directory

davidmhewitt commented 6 years ago

Unfortunately, I have been unable to reproduce this issue.

I will close this issue as it is not likely to be a problem with appcenter.

If you find you are able to reproduce this issue consistently, then please feel free to provide any more information that may be relevant.

Thank you again for reporting the issue, I hope any future installations of elementary go smoothly for you.

peteruithoven commented 6 years ago

@Philosoft sorry, I have to admit I didn't read your comments properly and thought this was another common issue.

Why I'm commenting is that I noticed that there seem to be at least 3 questions with similar looking issues on Stack Exchange, all having the following error:

The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu loki Release' does not have a Release file.
  1. https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/14387/missing-release-files-during-apt-update
  2. https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/7763/getting-errors-when-trying-to-run-sudo-apt-get-update
  3. https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/13060/error-while-doing-sudo-apt-update

And an old Launchpad issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1629646

Philosoft commented 6 years ago

@peteruithoven erm. first link is mine)) also none of the topics has complete answer (rather then update sources, which I did), none of them resolved, that bug you mentioned still in state new. So I just have opened this bug to let you know, that problem obviously exists, though not that easy to reproduce. I have no intention on forcing this issue further, now there are more annoying issues with appcenter (for sure this time, see issue 499 (not linking it here, because it's unrelated to this)), videos (issue 56) etc).

Thank you for your feedback anyway)

4sStylZ commented 6 years ago

I have the same issue here.

I doesn’t have file referring to loki in my source.list.d The issue is now closed, I reopen it because I don’t find the solution and can easily reproduce it :

@4sStylZ paste your /etc/apt/sources.list, please

Sorry I can’t. I have resolved my issue but I cannot remember how. I think a ppa was not reffering precisely at loki but I have deleted one row and I can now upgrade my elementary.

I realize this issue is already closed and because it is the same issue (just different release), I wanted to acknowledge this is still an issue with 5.1 (hera) and needed to substitute "bionic" for hera in all my source lists in /etc/apt and /etc/apt/sources.list.d

I'm not sure where to report this as this is a fresh install as of March 7, 2020.

my goal was to install the Elementary SDK (which now works) sudo apt install elementary-sdk

EDIT: I went ahead and subscribed to the bug @peteruithoven mentioned in his research - it still looks relevant and will comment there re: hera
