[opensuse] zypper dup fails on tumbleweed update
So, I am trying to do zypper dup on tumbleweed, and it failed at this package: btrfsmaintenance-0.4.2-1.1.noarch The way it failed was that it was doing the install, and stalled at installing this package when it was 92% installed. It sat there for a looooong time... I noticed the partition was full up to its reserve requirement, so I increased it with tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda2 This freed up space, but the installation of this would not proceed. So I finally hit ctrl-c to kill it (maybe that was a bad idea?)... and it killed it, but most of the distribution upgrade is already installed, so I cannot reboot on this partition... BTW, I am not even using btrfs; I am using ext4, so I don't know why TW wants me to have this package in the first place, but that is another issue... back to the issue at hand... I am stuck with a partially installed distribution upgrade, and so I cannot reboot, but I also cannot complete the upgrade. When I try to reinstall it, I get this: after many package checks...

delete the lock files and do: zypper -v dup -d;zypper -v dup the first instance will download all in advance and the second will do the install. then, if you still want, do "zypper -v rm btrfsmaintenance" -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

a suggestion (works well for me): in the future do (or something similar) zypper -v ref ; zypper -v dup -d && zypper -v dup -y that is three operations update software database download all pkgs in advance, will display packages and you can stop the process here if it is doing something you don't want install downloaded packages w/o asking and occasionally do: zypper clean if a download hangs or a package install hangs, kill the process and restart it. if the second operation asks questions, answer, but then the final operation (install) will fail and you need to drop the "-y" and repeat as: zypper -v dup if a package is being changed and you do not want it changed, zypper al <package-name> al is add lock zypper ll will list locks across five local computers, I have 2 locks ONLY because I want those packages from a particular repo. gud luk -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I had the same problem, and like you, I do not use BTRFS. What I did: First, because it was so far into the upgrade, I did not want to lose what it had done. I crossed my fingers and used Alt-SysRq-SUB to reboot (If SysRq is not marked on your keyboard, it is also the PrintScreen key). Thankfully, it was late enough in the install that it booted back up just fine, right into the desktop. YaST will not run, yet, as it is missing a dependency. However, zypper works just fine. I then used zypper se btrfs to get a list of the BTRFS junk (I, too, use ext4, so do not need the BTRFS stuff), then used zypper rm to get rid of the above package and one or two others. After, I added zypper al to lock those packages. I had to re-install GParted, and tell it to "break GParted by ignoring dependency", but that will be no problem. All that happens with GParted as a result is that it cannot create or work on BTRFS file system. Other functions work fine. I then finished up by repeating zypper dup.

yes, it was a copy-paste. That is what my system gave me - on my desktop. Haven't tried it on my laptop. I am wondering where that comes from.

it appears you somehow ran zypper as some elevated user (s/b root) and the repos (/etc/zypp/repos.d/*) were not available to that user. to confirm your repos zypper lr (list repos) I don't know now how yast works with packages as I have not used it since zypper became available.

Yes, thanks Patrick for noticing that on the leap15 repos - I have removed them now. Fortunately they were disabled, but they are completely gone now. So here I have attached the file with the repos and their details, and below is the pasted output from a couple of zypper rm commands. Note that I am not actually removing any of these - this is only to show that the output of zypper rm is saying that I have no repositories defined. # zypper rm btrfsprogs Loading repository data... Warning: No repositories defined. Operating only with the installed resolvables. Nothing can be installed. Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... # zypper rm kcalc Loading repository data... Warning: No repositories defined. Operating only with the installed resolvables. Nothing can be installed. Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following 2 packages are going to be REMOVED: kcalc kcalc-lang So it looks like the maintainer of zypper forgot to make that warning a conditional warning, and it is showing up on every zypper remove command now. I will submit a bug report.

nothing obvious stands out, but quite a collection of non openSUSE packages, any of which may be causing your problem. but there is definitely something amiss. a starting step to trouble shoot might entail uninstalling everything from your repo "Downloads", should not remove your configurations and data (make a backup of these items as I cannot say for sure they will not be affected), disable the repo "Downloads". then do zypper verify zypper -vv dup -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I would for sure disable that repo "Downloads", and if needed, I would use "Local Repo" or some such name, where I would place only rpms that I want to install locally. And a text file describing why for each one and where they came from. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

So, I am trying to do zypper dup on tumbleweed, and it failed at this package: btrfsmaintenance-0.4.2-1.1.noarch
The way it failed was that it was doing the install, and stalled at installing this package when it was 92% installed. It sat there for a looooong time... I noticed the partition was full up to its reserve requirement, so I increased it with tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda2
This freed up space, but the installation of this would not proceed. So I finally hit ctrl-c to kill it (maybe that was a bad idea?)... and it killed it, but most of the distribution upgrade is already installed, so I cannot reboot on this partition...
BTW, I am not even using btrfs; I am using ext4, so I don't know why TW wants me to have this package in the first place, but that is another issue...
Ok...
back to the issue at hand... I am stuck with a partially installed distribution upgrade, and so I cannot reboot, but I also cannot complete the upgrade. When I try to reinstall it, I get this:
...
Removal of (98296)btrfsmaintenance-0.4.2-1.1.noarch(@System) failed: Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Resource temporarily unavailable)
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i] (a): r
So I removed that file, and tried again, and got this:
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i] (a): r Removal of (98296)btrfsmaintenance-0.4.2-1.1.noarch(@System) failed: Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: warning: waiting for exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db4 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i] (a): r
This is where I am stuck. It seems the problem is the exclusive lock. I tried undeleting the /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock file, and it still did the same thing.
Any help please? I don't want to have to reinstall the whole OS, but that is about the only thing I will know how to do next if I can't get this to work.
Ok, remove the lock, and use the rpm command to remove that pesky package. Make sure (ps -afxu | less) that there is no rpm/zypper/yast/packagekit running first. rpm --erase btrfsmaintenance -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
