Distribution upgrade Stretch to Buster fails
Software
XBian version:1.0 (knockout) (kernel: Linux 4.19.75+) XBMC/Kodi version:118.4-Git:20191006-104b22a-dirty Overclock settings:default Hardware Device type and model (e.g. Raspberry Pi Model A/B 256/512 MB, CuBox-i i4Pro, ...):RPI 3b+ Power supply rating:Original power supply adapter SD card size and make/type:32Gb Network (Ethernet or wireless):Kodi using Ethernet; wireless adapter active too on different network Connected devices (TV, USB, network storage, ...):Philips TV, External USB harddisks Seagate and Seagate Backup Plusi Log files - Problem description: Trying to upgrade the distribution of Stretch to Buster via the Kodi/XBian gui fails displaying on the screen somewhere halfway the installation process: Errors were encountered while processing: util-linux mount initscripts sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I have already tried the standard things found on the internet regarding the dpkg error, but none seems to work solving the problem. I have checked contents of sources.list: deb http://http.debian.net/debian stretch main non-free And xbian.list: deb http://apt.xbian.org/ stable main rpi2-stretch armv7l-stretch Looks ok I guess...and during upgrade process 'stretch' gets replaced by 'buster', so that seems to be ok. I have tried to reinstall the three problem packages: sudo apt-get install --reinstall util-linux (this one shows a lot of warnings) sudo apt-get install --reinstall mount (no warnings here) sudo apt-get install --reinstall initscripts (this one shows a lot of warnings too) The warnings refer to missing symbolic links in /etc/rcS.d I am not sure if this can be the cause of the upgrade problem, but it is a possibility right? This is part of the warnings shown on screen: sudo apt-get install --reinstall util-linu x [sudo] password for xbian: Reading package lists...

Anybody any suggestions? |

RE: Distribution upgrade Stretch to Buster fails
Hmmm, seems that your sources (sources.list & xbian.list) does not point to buster
Please check this first Quote:(Reading database ... 40271 files and directories currently installed.) This file definitely comes from Debian Stretch! |

It shows a lot of warnings no errors. Running the distribution upgrade again ends up in the same dpkg error... |

RE: Distribution upgrade Stretch to Buster fails
Could you paste the log to pastebin or whatever?
If you run the XBian upgrade procedure, full log is in file /tmp/aptstatus |

RE: Distribution upgrade Stretch to Buster fails
You have apache2 and dnsmasq installed
Code: insserv: FATAL: service dnsmasq is missed in the runlevels 2 3 4 5 to use service apache2 That's causing the error. Could you try A) set package dnsmasq and apache2 on hold before running upgrade sudo apt-mark hold apache2 && sudo apt-mark hold dnsmasq and try again or B) temporarly deinstall both packages, run the upgrade and reinstall them after upgrade has been done |

I checked in option B if dnsmasq or apache2 were still running or installed, but that was not the case. So I don't understand that insserv is still checking upon apache2 and dnsmasq I will call it a day for now and dig into it the day after tomorrow... |

Maybe there are some old links in the rc folders. Who knows I'll see if I can find a Stetch installation which I can upgrade to Buster. So, if I still have one, I'll install dnsmasq and apache before upgrading and see what happens ... |

I will do a test adding those symbolic links manually first (if missing) and then try to upgrade. If that does not work I can still do a test completely purging apache2 and dnsmasq. If both tests still result in same error situation, then there is something else wrong I guess. Will post any outcome later... |

RE: Distribution upgrade Stretch to Buster fails
Ok.
If this fails - what I expect - you could do a workaround for continuing upgrade process: After upgrade has failed, you could edit file /var/lib/dpkg/info/util-linux.postinst and comment out the set -e line, so the script does not exit on error and after doing this, continue with Terminal sudo apt-get install -f and point 3 and 4 described in this post from the command line |

Running the upgrade still showed some warnings along the way, but everything seemed to run fine ending in no errors. After reboot everything showed as normal. Anything that I need to check just to be sure that the upgrade worked as expected? |

Wow, first positive message today Thanks for your feedback! I don't think that you have to do more checks. If system boots, everything should to be ok |

Still not sure why adding the links helped, but it works anyway... |
