Terry1031 The new update bricks itself at the point of trying to install baselayout package, it doesn't end up finding sbin (not 100% sure anymore, might've been bin) from that point on it doesn't continue the update and I can't open up any programs like FireFox or the Terminal.

Tried it on a complete fresh install and it still happens,

The latest update to baselayout should improve this situation.

Updating from a fresh 4.5 ISO install or potentially from an install that has not been updated in several weeks may still fail. But you should be able to just update again sudo eopkg up -y and have it complete successfully (Reboot once it is completed). At least that was the case for me on a fresh 4.5 install.

I recommend anyone seeing an error similar to this:

Installing 47 / 699
baselayout-1.9.0-81-1-x86_64.eopkg [cached]
Installing baselayout, version 1.9.0, release 81
Upgrading to new distribution release
Extracting the files of baselayout
System error. Program terminated.
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'bin'
Please use 'eopkg help' for general help.
Use --debug to see a traceback.

To not reboot and simply try updating again.

Unfortunately it may be impossible to support updating from every possible system state without some clunkiness like this.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

      Harvey I can confirm rerunning the update fixed this issue for me on a laptop that hadn't been updated in a while, thanks!

        Harvey
        for those who have sync'ed to Week 18 but not to Week 19, should they install baselayout first, prior to sync'ing to Week 19?

            You shouldn't need to, worst case scenario you have to run sudo eopkg up -y twice.

              Harvey Thank you sir. I appreciate all the work you guys have done on this!

                Here I had no attempt with update on last Friday.
                I made update yesterday evening and it went smooth.
                Here is Solus Gnome with Gnome 46.1
                Thank you !!
                (Last update was one week ago.)

                Hi there.
                After my heart surgery i was on rehab for 3 weeks.
                So no updates for about 4 weeks are installed.
                Is it safe to update now or should i wait a few more days ?

                  Would this show up as a problem with extracting base-layout? After a clean install and attempting to update..it hangs at that point. while installing updates. Initial install and reboot is fine.. (Budgie DE) After a restart it crashes.

                    PC-TECH so 2 different things are happening at the same time? A crash on restart? and before that the updates hung up?
                    use the terminal for updates (sudo eopkg up) then try to reboot. if its crashed then one of the ctrl+alt+someFkey will get you a terminal

                        MikeK61 Is it safe to update now or should i wait a few more days ?

                        hope your heart is on the road to happy! 💗
                        should you update after missing 4 cycles of updates?
                        kinda safe answer: no guts, no glory
                        safer answer: wait til Friday. I think the crew is trying to iron out one more issue
                        2 cents to be sure, as I'm not answering as a Dev

                          brent Not at the same time. After the initial install which works fine , reboots & logins correctly . Then when you do system updates it downloaded about 400 packages, then proceeds to installing updates..it hangs at extracting base-layout...If you shutdown from that point and restart it crashed after login. ...with a frowning computer no less. Perhaps I did wait long enough for that package to extract?? I waiting for 20 ish minutes...observing no activity on the HDD indicator in the time. I can certainly repeat this using the CLI.
                          Back ground info. I'm doing a virgin install on a computer that was running Solus Budgie from the original version. I decided to "de-kluge" the system So I know it capable of running Solus. Thanks for any help.

                              PC-TECH baselayout was a package rolled out last night to address a couple wrinkles. maybe it conflicts with ISO?
                              I wish I could help but it's brand new and I am going to defer to a DEV or Maintainer on this one.

                                From a clean install this failure can happen. There is a workaround though, when the update fails just re-run it before you reboot. The second update should succeed.

                                What day you have today in USA ?
                                Is today Friday in USA ?
                                I wonder there was "update actualization" window popping up today (in Germany ?).

                                  Applied updates no issues to report (Budgie)
                                  Keep up the great work!

                                  Finally got the courage to update my main work/game PC. No issues or errors at all. Plasma version. Will start updating the rest and let my friends and family know to go ahead and update. Will report how that goes. Some are a couple updates behind, others are up to date. All are Plasma.

                                    zmaint Please share whether any hiccups happens... I am terrified of updating my work computer.

                                        lf-araujo I had to head out for work (I travel lightly). Plan on doing updates when I get back this afternoon. Will def post here and let you know how it goes.
