Autoupdate - Error unpacking tzdata_2015d-0+deb8u1

Help and Support
1

So I ran into an issue during autoupdating osmc o nmy rpi1 on RC3. The update failed due to an error unpacking tzdata…

I ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

Output below.

Thoughts?

You should be running dist-upgrade as opposed to upgrade.

If the issue continues, please use the log uploader to provide full logs.

I ran dist-upgrade. However, during that same operation I found that I was still receiving the same error during the dist-upgrade process.

Looking through what I had, it seems like the downloaded tzdata deb was corrupted.

I ran apt-get clean and re-ran update. Then dist-upgrade. Ran through just fine after the clean, and plowed through the tzdata package. Looks like I had a bad download.

Yes it will have been a corrupted or incomplete download, possibly due to a misbehaving transparent proxy between you and the server.

As you saw it was detected with no harm done before trying to extract it - I am surprised that it didn’t try to re-download it on the subsequent attempt though.

Thanks a lot, I had my RPI2B underpowered for a couple of days and I had couple of corrupted libraries in consequence.

Runing the “sudo apt-clean” and “sudo ap-get dist-upgrade” finally fixed.
