Update packages not working?

[Skywatch]

HI,

From within XBMC System I select the 'Xbian' option and then go into the update > packages and select 'update all' at the bottom of the list. There is some activity on the network led on the pi and then the menu on the screen clears all the packages and simply says 'up-to-date'.

But if I exit the Xbian menu and go back in again all the packages are showing as being ready for update again. A reboot doesn't seem to help.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

and packages are updated?

I'm aware of it, but this question is not answered even there. I'm just asking whether packages gets updated and just some internal status does not reflect this or packages are really not updated.

The packages are NOT updated. To update them you have to do it manually or via ssh xbian-config

I've also noticed that in ssh xbian-config that an updates shows xbian.brantje.com as the mirror! Is that correct?

IriDium, package installation is affected the same way ?

I don't know - nothing was in xbmc.log nor dmesg.

solved in xbian-package-config-shell 2.1.4-9

Hi,

Thanks for all the input to this.

I updated manually via ssh (all selected except the two vim options). Update took about 1Hr25Min. Rebooted.

It's been at 'init process' now for about half an hour.... is this normal?

Thanks

Something is wrong - my update took less than 2 minutes.

Are you on Beta 1.1?

Did you do apt-get or via ssh xbian-config.

Can you check the update log.... do you see a xbian.brantje.com?

This seems to have been a recent addition and I'm sure it's not right!!!

That's what I thought, but I wanted to check!

Yes. All details in my profile.

ssh xbian-config (though it was a 'messy' menu with 'x' and 'q' symbols around the edge of the window). Does that help?

After over 2 hours I gave up and am reflashing 1B1.1 again so can't check the log. Sorry.

That's strange.

I've noticed when updating a new install vi ssh xbian-config - than when I do a update, I notice that xbian.brantje is the default xbian mirror.

This is something *new* to me. I've done enough upgrades to know when something is different.

The "q" and "x" are due to "something" - I used to get the same running "nmon" on Windoze, but it then went away - no idea why.

Can we keep this issue to the packages and not other issues - start a new thread for them - tnx.

Skywatch, did you take care that even if xbian-update wasn't recognized as package to update, you followed the red text in beta2 forum - which is saying that there is no versioning for it (1.0-1.2 always) so apt-get clean; apt-get update ; apt-get install --reinstall xbian-update is needed?

it looks like not whole chain of packages got updated. just ctrl+alt+del, it should start and reinstall xbian-update.

for official repo the address is updated dynamically from a mirror list. so if someone changed to brantje, it is going to be brantje. xbian-config updated is updating the mirror list as well.

btw: I just hope nobody is mixing official repo and beta2 repo in sources.list ?

[IriDium]

I too especially would like to know if there are two different repos in existent. brantje and Beta 1.2 because it makes testing a mockery. How the F*** can I test when not only the goal posts move but the f**** pitch also.

Sort it out - till then don"t ask me for support.

.deb packages will be downloaded only and only from sources specified in /etc/apt/sources.list …
for testing beta2 it should look like:

Code:

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rip
deb http://ivka57.dyndns-ip.com wheezy main
