• Is there a Raspbian update problem today (7/6/19)?

    From Martin Gregorie@3:770/3 to All on Fri Jun 7 20:56:20 2019
    Is anybody else seeing this failure when trying to upgrade your system?
    Its been a 'thing' here since around 15:00 today, 7/6/19, for the last
    4-5 hours:


    # apt-get update
    Ign:1 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch InRelease
    Err:2 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch Release

    Is there a known work-round?

    Possibly related:

    - two Fridays ago the update worked, but only picked up 4-5 packages

    - last Friday the update worked but no updates were available

    There's something wrong with your internets or some of their servers were down?
    Those 'network is unreachable' messages are telling.

    You may wish to try doing a traceroute or telnet to port 80 to those hosts from
    that device and see where you get.

    Apparently you have network troubles reaching the update servers
    located in London at mythic-beasts.com

    Can you traceroute to them from your location? Can you open up the IP
    addresses in a browser on your desktop from your location?

    I don't seem to have any problems here at this
    time. status.mythic-beasts.com page doesn't show any recent
    incidents.

    But it seems your issues are network related more than anything else.

    Same thing happened to me yesterday. Tried again about 30 minutes later
    and it was fine. I suggest you try it a few more times (after a coffee
    break) before you start trying to isolate a network issue.

    A neigbour whose laptops I look after ended up after what might have
    been a power cut with an unstable installation upgrade system

    I ended up manually upgrading each package mentioned, one at a time -
    this cleared it all.

    Its not precisely relevant to this post, but it is a trick to bear in
    mind if you end up with a partially upgraded system.

    I should have said that Internet access from my other Fedora-based laptop
    and PC were working as normal and that Firefox was able to display the
    files and directories containing raspbian packages on mythic beasts.

    Anyway, I left the RPi running until a few minutes ago, when I logged
    onto it and found nothing had changed - I was still unable to update the system. Then I discovered that hosts on my LAN could be accessed from the
    RPi but that nothing outside my ADSL router was visible.

    At that point I rebooted it and retried the update. The RPi has now
    updated itself successfully. Its now running normally after a post-update reboot and is accessing the 'net as normal, so I'm completely baffled by
    its failure to update itself yesterday.

    Maybe it took a hit from a high energy particle after I'd booted it
    yesterday which flipped a few bits. Who knows.

    Thanks for all the helpful suggestions.

    I thought this might be appropriate ... ;)

    button works don't you? No, not on clothes.

    Maurice Moss: [picking up the phone] Hello, IT... Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?

    Roy: No, no there you go, no there you go. I just heard it come on... no, no, that's the music you heard when it come on... no, that's the music you hear when... I'm sorry, are you from the past?

    Moss: See the driver hooks a function by patching the system call table, so it's not safe to unload it unless another thread's about to jump in there and do its stuff, and you don't want to end up in the middle of invalid memory! [chuckle] Hello?

    Roy: Oh really? Then why don't you come down and make me then. Huh, what you think I'm afraid of you? I'm not afraid of you. You can come down here any time
    and I'll be waiting for you! [slams down phone] I told her!
