Update-Install fails

**hempelr** · Jun 17th 2014

I've tried to update a local installation per update-script of the wiki (changed to the stable-trunk) - it's a development environment and groupware plattform on my workoffice where I'm employed.
The dpkg did went well, no errors. But after synchronize the git and begin of the update of i-mscp after the downloads the following error-message appeared:
---begin errormessage
Error was:

autoinstaller::Adapter::Debian::installPackages: Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Reinstallation of libdbi-perl is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
Reinstallation of libc6-dev is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
Reinstallation of perl-base is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
Reinstallation of libberkeleydb-perl is not possible, it cannot be
downloaded.
---end errormessage
and the installation / update interrupted.
I-Mscp apparently works, the domains seems to be all reachable - but what where going wrong? How to download the missing packages or what is to do that the update runs troug?
Thanks for hints - I'm looking tomorrow here again in, now I have closing time...

Hope that there's no failure in the lists, but apt-get update works without any worry
Thanks for any hint.

Hello ;

The problem is that you are using packages from stable and testing... And I don't talk about the other repositories... Well, the solution for you is to edit the ./autoinstaller/Adapter/Debian.pm inside the archive and replace the following stanza (line 220 to 224):

Perl

$rs = execute( "$command -y -o DPkg::Options::='--force-confnew' -o Dpkg::Options::='--force-confask' " . "--reinstall install @{$self->{'packagesToInstall'}} --auto-remove --purge", ($preseed || $main::noprompt) ? \$stdout : undef, \$stderr );

by

Perl

$rs = execute( "$command -y -o DPkg::Options::='--force-confmiss' " . "install @{$self->{'packagesToInstall'}} --auto-remove --purge", ($preseed || $main::noprompt) ? \$stdout : undef, \$stderr );

and then, rerun the installer.

Shell-Script

# perl imscp-autoinstall -d

Thanks nuxwin,
is the pinning not right? I actually toufght, that there's no big problems with pinning, because I only install some tools from testing.
But ok, I know that some packages should not be on a server....

Well, I did the changings but now the error as following:
[ERROR] │
│ │
│ Error while performing step: │
│ │
│ Installing all Debian packages for i-MSCP │
│ │
│ Error was: │
│ │
│ autoinstaller::Adapter::Debian::installPackages: Reading package lists... │
│ Building dependency tree... │
│ Reading state information... │
│ apache2 is already the newest version. │
│ apache2-mpm-worker is already the newest version. │
│ apache2-suexec-custom is already the newest version. │
│ at is already the newest version. │
│ bash is already the newest version.

Some new hints? It does not love the newest versions?
Thanks in advice.

Hello ;

Teamviewer please

**hempelr** · Jul 9th 2014

First, sorry for the late answer, the problem occured on a server which wasn't important, meanwhile my boss did kill that server (it was a virtual machine on a esxi-server with fibrechannel-storagelibrary and he killed the storage...)

But I think the problem is solved, I did updates on my other servers, and always after the second run of the updatescript it went well without any error. Sometimes things regulate almost self

Once more thanks for the good work of the team of imscp - it is really great how to work here and how well everything works.
