Latest update has broken eopkg.

zmaint

I just tried to update my laptop, haven't done anything with it since the last update. It failed to update at the clr bootmanager portion. Can't rollback, can't install, can't check/repair, apparently this issue has broken eopkg.
Solus Plasma, Lenovo Ideapad3

Hi, dear.
This error is the same to:
https://discuss.getsol.us/d/10595-solus-45-upgrade-libmagic-error/4

zmaint

cassiorezende Yeah I posted there as well, but it was flagged as an installation issue not an update issue. No fix yet that I've seen either. Wanted to warn others to not update...

To be clear, eopkg is broken. I'm thinking I am going to have to chroot and try to fix this.

Are all updates breaking eopkg currently? Is it safe to update other machines? Do I have to install that baselayout package before I update other machines? Kinda needa need some more info.

pomon

Try:

sudo eopkg rebuild-db
eopkg install https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/b/baselayout/baselayout-1.9.0-77-1-x86_64.eopkg
sudo eopkg up

zmaint

pomon eopkg is broken due to this update. Cannot run any eopkg commands. Cannot roll back, cannot install, cannot remove, cannot check, its 100% borked.

It is not possible. eopkg has broken.
After trying sudo eopkg rebuild-db

the system return:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/eopkg", line 19, in <module> import pisi File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pisi/__init__.py", line 51, in <module> import pisi.api File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pisi/api.py", line 31, in <module> import pisi.index File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pisi/index.py", line 32, in <module> import pisi.operations.build File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pisi/operations/build.py", line 44, in <module> import magic File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/magic/__init__.py", line 209, in <module> libmagic = loader.load_lib() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/magic/loader.py", line 49, in load_lib raise ImportError('failed to find libmagic.

I can't confirm by the way but the hell of your situation is how do you do fix stuff without eopkg?

Chroot from live, and run sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall
OR (to see what is going on)

or
sudo eopkg check | tee /dev/stderr | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall

chroot is a PITA but do it one step at a time, slow. "I hate the weird ones"--eopkg is the nerve center of the operation for sure

plan B--try another terminal for the halibut?

edit: so every eopkg command has the identical python errors?

EbonJaeger

If you run sudo eopkg up again, does it then succeed?

zmaint

EbonJaeger No eopkg commands work, all give same python error.

I am currently afraid to update any of my other machines at this point.

cassiorezende

Same result.
Yes. All eopkg commands has the identical python error.

EbonJaeger

To avoid having to go into boot recovery, please try downloading and manually installing the statically-compiled Python 3 version of eopkg, and finishing the update with that:

Note that this just downloads and extracts the files to your current directory; it isn't actually installing as a system package.

/usr/bin/wget https://packages.getsol.us/unstable/e/eopkg4-bin/eopkg4-bin-4.0.0-17-1-x86_64.eopkg
/usr/bin/unzip eopkg4-bin-4.0.0-17-1-x86_64.eopkg
/usr/bin/tar xf install.tar.xz
sudo ./usr/bin/eopkg4-bin up

zmaint

EbonJaeger Trying this now since I couldn't get internet working in chroot....

zmaint

EbonJaeger ok that worked to finish the update with no errors. I rebooted. I re-ran sudo eopkg ur && sudo eopkg up -y just to see if eopkg was working again and I got the following:

System error. Program terminated.
unsupported pickle protocol: 4

I'm doing an eopkg check now.

EbonJaeger It doesn't work for me 😥

Wow! It worked out!
Thank you very much! 😃

EbonJaeger

Not gonna call this solved yet; in testing, it may not actually work. The team is still investigating, but it's worth trying.

zmaint

EbonJaeger It found one broken package, cups-browsed. I cannot reinstall it, i get the same unsupported pickle error.

Please provide support for my pickle kind sir. 🙂

joebonrichie

zmaint run sudo eopkg update-repo --force to regenerate the pickle cache

The pickle cache version is different from py2 to py3 versions

edit: note that as repos is currently blocked it won't work until the repo is re-enabled.

zmaint

joebonrichie Thank you sir, will try when its back up.

Lucien_Lachance

is it common knowledge that it doesent affect everyone? no issues here

zmaint

Lucien_Lachance If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all lol. In all seriousness, I've been on Solus Plasma since beta and this is the first actual Solus issue I've had. I'll gladly take that any day of the week over what I had to endure on other flavors that shall remain nameless.

Also it cannot be overstated how awesome everyone here is in helping, and how fast things get done. The last issue I had was with an AMD kernel patch failing to get passed to the next AMD kernel version. The Solus team steered me to the AMD maintainer, I filed a bug, he fixed it an apologized in like 20min. I updated my post here and then the Solus crew put out a patch within the hour to fix it. Top shelf service.

joebonrichie

Lucien_Lachance We have some ideas but not 100% sure why currently

This story is worthy of solus front page.
