OSMC Update Error (December Update incl. PI Config Update)

Help and Support
1

Hey guys,

I get this screen when I manually trigger an update search:

No progress is shown in the lower right corner. After a couple of seconds i get this:

I did the December update yesterday and the PI Config patch this morning. This is a RPI 2 . Debug logs are here : http://paste.osmc.io/xewoqevuzo

Before I grabbed the full debug log I noticed this in the kodi.log:

Can anyone reproduce this?

PS: Screenshots seem to be crappy. Basically the first window tells me there is an error, please report to the forums, whereas the second screen is the standard “no updates available” screen…

PPS: Just for the sake of completeness. The December update was triggered from the GUI. I did the PI Config patch this morning via sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
. I also did an apt-get autoremove which nuked 2 packages afterwards.

…I guess I figured it out myself. The apt-get autoremove task removed the apt-transport-https package. Without it apt-get update sure enough won’t work. Reinstalled it and everything is back to normal.

Maybe apt-transport-https needs to be flagged as not to be removed by something like apt-get autoremove? Anyway, this is solved.

Sorry for bothering everybody.

Have a good one.

apt-transport-https is not needed for any OSMC repositories and as such it was removed from the base system. If you have custom repositories which use HTTPS in your sources.list, you will need to reinstall this

Ah, I see.

Indeed I have a custom repo in my sources.list, so that all makes sense. Thanks @sam_nazarko for the heads up and everybody for looking into this. After installing apt-transport-https , apt-get autoremove won’t pick up the former again, because it was installed explicitly. All good here.

On a slightly different note… Will the December image come with or without the PI Config patch? No big deal if not, just wondering…

The December image will have the Pi Config patch
