Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Hello

I just saw that Dave Yeo, Andy Willis and Doug Clark reported the same issue on a different thread: "VLC v 3.0.21 not starting"

I guess it is not only me or my machine.

Silvan already answered that in the thread "ANPM database error"

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 !

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

Thanks, I didn't noticed that reply.

It seem that Netlabs is having some issues, because the EDM/2 wiki database comes and go too.
Let's hope it can be fixed soon.

I tried to sign up for TRAC a few years ago but was not able to access it -  but I still get the e-mails from Netlabs.

I got this one today from Adrian Gshwend @ Netlabs:

Hi everyone,

Update from my side: I couldn't send the ZFS volumes to a new server due to checksum errors. I'm not 100% sure yet why these happen but I now know which files were corrupt. Fortunately nothing serious, it was only 4 in total and 3 of them were in ZFS snapshots.

The fourth file is a trac DB (java project) and it looks like I could recover a proper version from snapshots as well.

I'm now checking the filesystem again, which takes around 3 days due to my disk io performance problems on that particular VM.

Hopefully I can then send the data to the new, faster VM & get rid of the traps as well.

regards

Adrian

I know what we're talking about is not related to TRAC, but other corrupt files on that server may be what the problem is, as ANPM updates the fileslist summary file before allowing any downloads - I tried ANPM this morning and got the same message.

Not knowing what lies "under the hood" so to speak with the ArcaOS process, when ANPM performs an update prior to offering us files, I'm just suggesting that perhaps ANPM is attempting to access update files on the same Netlabs server, and the problems there may be wider than what was thought - perhaps the problems Adrian is facing are not just with Trac, if that is one of the download sites for ANPM. They may be having corrupt files or checksum errors as well.

I'm sure Lewis and Co, are also trying to see what the problem is as well.

Just being a bloodhound, when it comes to troubleshooting - its just in my blood and Best!

Hello

FYI: Lewis posted something about this on the Warp mailing list.

In the interim, people may disable the main Netlabs repo and only leave the 2rosenthals.com mirror enabled. We are currently building separate metadata, so after that, 'yum clean all' followed by a fresh pull from the mirror should get a working repository.

Also note that netlabs-exp should be working fine. Only netlabs-rel seems to be impacted.
