ANPM database error
« on: August 05, 2024, 04:19:04 pm »
Hello all, I "regularly" check for updates with ANPM, but today it does not want to display me anything (see screenshot as attachment).

I tried the options to clean and to redo the rpm database, to no available. I could find some old web mention of that error on os2.org (dating from 2019 IIRC) but without definitive solution (I tried what was suggested there).

Anyone has an idea on how to fix that problem?

Thanks for any idea !

I think the problem is upstream as if you look at the VLC 3.0.21 not starting thread, a few of us are getting the same error.

Thanks Dave, I don't run VLC on ArcaOS, so did not check that thread. I am relieved the problem is not on my side.

it seems the database file on the netlabs server is broken. I contacted Adrian already. Lets hope he can fix it soon
kind regards

Lewis has rebuilt the database at 2rosenthals.com so can disable netlabs release and enable the mirror at https://repos.arcanoae.com/release/$releasever/. See https://www.arcanoae.com/wiki/anpm/ for more info
Edit: Might need a "yum clean" to get working

I still get an error, after removing the Netlabs server. I wish that Lewis, in the same way that ArcaOS ISO images are generated with the serial number automatically online, could create a way to automatically generate ANPM configuration files, with identifiers, proper servers, etc..

Tried Dave's and Lewis's instructions this afternoon, and was able to get the ANPM file listings again, by:

1) going into ANPM
2) Going to Manage - Repositories on the menu
3) Right clicking on netlabs-rel and changing status to disable
4) Then clicking on Repository - Add - Yum Repository
5) When the information fill-in box comes up, putting in a name (I used 2Rosenthals)
6) Dragging the link Dave provided to the URL box (the drag spawns a URL object which can be placed into the box)
7) Pressing Save, closing the fill-in box

I did not need to exit ANPM and restart or do YUM Clean-up - ANPM went through its filelist update sequence and the file listings reappeared.

Haven't tried to update or add anything yet, but at least that got past the "File malformed" problem.

Best!

I have done a number of updates to the 5.0.7 partition where I made the ANPM filelist update modifications, so everything copacetic so far - I don't know where those files reside but haven't run into any problems so far.

Yes, it worked fine for me basically the same way you (Mark) described. I did clean everything just to be safe.
Another way is to create a file, @unixroot\etc\yum\repos.d\ARCANOAE-REL.REPO containing something like,
Code: [Select]
[arcanoae-rel]
name=ArcaNoae stable repository $releasever
baseurl=https://repos.arcanoae.com/release/$releasever/
enabled=1
and in the neighbouring NETLABS-REL.REPO, change the enabled=1 to enabled=0.

 Even the 2Rosenthals repo doesn't work for me - same 'disk image is malformed' error as with the netlabs-rel repo - even after a yum cleaning. So the bit rot seems to be spreading. The ArcaNoae-rel repo Dave suggests only has about a dozen or so files listed (which was already installed here).

 This situation is very bad...

The 2Rosenthals repo seems fine here. They do have down time occasionally.
Latest word from Adrian,
Code: [Select]

Hi everyone,

good news, after spending hours, I figured out a way to properly send the zfs filesystems with the data to the new VM!

I'll have to setup services on the new VM which will take some time as I need to change some system internal abstractions due to no longer supported tools I had in use.

But in general I can say the data should be fine & it's just a matter of time now till we are on a new, much faster VM.

Adrian

So things are looking up.

I have the same situation on my two boxes. I've been waiting for a several days for the problem to be fixed.
