dpkg error when running apt-get upgrade.

[Alexkvw]

Did that, thanks. Sorry but i was mixing up issues. Updates are ok now, but i still get the below when upgrading (and similar when trying to install dev package via the config shell)

Terminal

Preconfiguring packages ...
Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-41+deb7u1) ...
insserv: Service checkfs has to be enabled to start service mountall
insserv: exiting now!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header

Thanks! Should have found that thread myself

[mk01]

don't blame yourself.

the "issue" was caused by yesterday's Debian's Wheezy 7.2 and only today are starting people to report. (who hit the issue). Even my comment was 1h old.

Code:

sudo -i
cd /tmp
wget http://xbian.brantje.com/xbian.gpg.key
apt-key add ./xbian.gpg.key

you should see OK after.

then apt-get clean; apt-get update ?

Did not work for me. I can upgrade packets recieved from http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy/main but not the xbian server. Is there another server we can try?

the standard entry

Code:

deb mirror://apt.xbian.org/mirror.txt wheezy main

is a list of mirrors itself. going the other way around comment it out and try direct approach:

Code:

deb http://xbian.brantje.com wheezy main

[Ghwomb]

I commented out everything except

Code:

deb http://xbian.brantje.com wheezy main

in my /etc/apt/sources.list.

Now I can download the new packages but something is breaking the update:a

while looking at your package versions and http://archive.raspberrypi.org as source …

what version of XBIAN are you running? this looks very very old.

btw: XBian repo is not providing ALL packages, it is just supplement to underlying distro (raspbian) so you beside
deb http://xbian. …….

you need also the repo for raspbian. currently it is

Code:

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi

that's why i'm a bit confused about package lists from http://archive.raspberrypi.org your XBian still has.

add the second repo I posted and do "apt-get clean" before update. and try again.

I am on XBian 1.0 Alpha 5. But there has always been packages held back. So that might explain the old packages. Since, almost, everything worked I have not reported any problems.

I uncommented the repo you suggested. Now the packages downloads and the upgrade starts. Apt refused to go past

Quote:To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'

. But after a few apt-clean and apt-upgrade it worked!

Thanks a lot for all the help!

Just a note that the upgrade is not finished yet. Currently it is "rebalancing filesystem". So perhaps there will be panic in my next post. But so far so good! If everything completes without further ado I'll try to post a summary of all the steps.

[mk01]

if you are on Alpha5 and are doing upgrade, filesystem will be converted to btrfs. this can take a while !

actually if it rebalances already, it is converted. rebalance can be a long process too, so wait a bit.

@Ghwomb

I don't want make noise before the storm comes, but apt-get upgrade never installs kept-back packages. they needs to be specified by

Code:

apt-get install [list all kept back packages]

so even if finally dependencies matched for you and something has been installed, maybe it won't be full install as was mean to be. important moment would be to boot, then you can issue apt-get update & upgrade again and install kept back with apt-get install .

there is a thread somewhere describing the command which would allow upgrading all package in one step. If I remember correctly it was apt-get install xbian-update (with force -y and the -o loop).

just last note, beta2 is highly recommended over beta1.1 and I even think more milage with testing and even with direct upgrade from alpha5 directly to beta2.

anyhow report back.

Everything went smooth. Although it was strange to see btrfs used. I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade after. No report about anything kept back and the only thing that was upgraded was the kernel.

The various steps, in some kind of order. Read the thread for more information. I don't have the time to try to replicate the whole ordeal.

1. First try the official steps once more!
2. Become root
3. cd /tmp
4. wget http://xbian.brantje.com/xbian.gpg.key
5. apt-key add ./xbian.gpg.key
6. you should see OK after.
7. apt-get clean && apt-get update
8. Try step one once again.
9. Comment out everything in /etc/apt/sources.list except deb http://xbian.brantje.com wheezy main and deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
10. Do step seven then step one again.
11. If you, like me, had problem with apt accepting when you type "Yes, do as I say!", repeat step 10 a few times. It took me over five times until it gets accepted.
    

As stated before: the upgrade will take some time so don't panic; take another coffee instead!

OK I just tried this and now I am stuck at 'closing xbmc' for half an hour. Is this normal? Can I safely unplug the power and restart?

That did not happen to me and I don't have clue what is happening. I have a problem of my own. After a few (second ?) restart it is now stuck on init process...

Currently researching forums for a solution.

remove splash from /boot/cmdline.txt
you will see error log on screen.

[Skywatch]

You are not alone!

The 'stuck on init process' is what I saw as well.

It powered off and restarted OK. On reboot it stalled again, then after that it won't reboot as it sticks at init around the 40% mark.

I have reflashed to an earlier image and that at least works for me.
