[SOLVED] Xbian-config addon "check for system updates" stuck

[Nachteule]

Hmmm, that's strange

I know some users using Pi-Hole (that uses dnsmasq too) without such issues.

Did you already try that this Pi using dnsmasq as DNS resolver too?

Without logs it is very difficult to give any tips. Please enable debug messages (set DEBUG variable in file /etc/default/xbmc to DEBUG="--debug" and restart Kodi) and try again

Interesting part are three lines:

Terminal

root@kmxbilr2 ~ # cat /home/xbian/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | grep xbian-config\ updates

Aug 7 10:51:46 kmxbilr2 843 496.572235 T:1825567488 DEBUG: XBian-config : xbian-config updates updatedb : ['0']
Aug 7 10:51:46 kmxbilr2 970 496.699066 T:1825567488 DEBUG: XBian-config : xbian-config updates distupgrade query : ['0']
Aug 7 10:51:47 kmxbilr2 133 496.861481 T:1825567488 DEBUG: XBian-config : xbian-config updates list packages : ['-2']

Those three commands are called when processing "Check for system updates"

You can run them from cmdline as well (note: if you're not root you have to use sudo):

Terminal

root@kmxbilr2 ~ # xbian-config updates updatedb
0
root@kmxbilr2 ~ # xbian-config updates distupgrade query
0
root@kmxbilr2 ~ # xbian-config updates list packages
-2
root@kmxbilr2 ~ #
