Hello all,

 

I usually perform an update every day or so but for the past 2 days, the update does not seem to happen.

 

I am runninng a DM8000 and OpenPLi 4 and when I check for updates, it tells me that update from 21.01.14 00:08 is available. If I select to update and restart, the process seems to go correctly but after reboot, I still have the version from 19.01.14. I tried multiple times (as well as Install updates and ask to reboot) and I can never get this update to install. Any ideas? Do I need to reinstall my image?

 

I also tried without better success:

> opkg list-upgradable

> opkg update

> opkg upgrade

 

Here's what I get:

 

root@dm8000:~# opkg list-upgradable
dbus-1 - 1.6.10-r6.0 - 1.6.18-r0
rpcbind - 0.2.0-r4 - 0.2.1-r0

There as been an issue a few days ago, that causes this dependency issue.

 

Two ways to get rid of it:

- flash the box

- run "opkg upgrade -force-overwrite"

[Marc-UK]

Thank you

 

Just tried the force-overwrite and did not get any error message. It's quicker than re-installing the image

 

When I check for updates, it tells me no updates are available . The GUI version still shows 19.01.14 though.

 

BTW, is there a way to determine which verision/image is installed from a command line? Can I trust > uname -a ?

I think

ls -la /etc/version

gives you the date and time of the last flash.

 

It is very difficult (i.e. near to impossible) to what state it is updated, due to the fact that an update is a long list of packages. So what defines "updated"?

 

ls -la /var/lib/opkg/status

gives you the date and time of the last time you ran an opkg update (and in that file what was installed, with a timestamp).

[Marc-UK]

In my case, this gives me the date I installed the image, not the latest updates I actually installed

 

root@dm8000:/etc# ls -la /etc/version
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             1 Oct 27 06:14 /etc/version

 

root@dm8000:/etc# uname -a
Linux dm8000 3.2-dm8000 #1 SMP Mon Jan 20 17:17:02 CET 2014 mips GNU/Linux
r

Thank you. With this information, I can actually determine a few dates

root@dm8000:/etc# ls -la /var/lib/opkg/status  >>  That's the same date & time reported by OpenWebif for the firmware version

I think uname gives you the kernel compilation date?

[kocus37]

No full update since 2 days ago, i have updated today and only one packaged install libdvd***, my last enigma2 update is from 01-03-2014. Is there something wrong?

[WanWizard]

Sometimes the build server fails to create a new image overnight, because of bugs in the code, the config, or because an upstream repository can not be accessed. And if no image is created, new feed data is not available too...

[kocus37]

Ok thanks i´ll wait maybe next time is ok.
