So I have been greeted today morning with this entry in the task log on the machine. Called apt-get update manually and behold:

..all good before this...

W: The repository 'https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
E: Failed to fetch https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/stretch/pve-enterprise/binary-amd64/Packages 401 Unauthorized
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

So I just commented out the line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list

Not sure if this is the right thing to do, though.
 
I am aware of that, it's just that it happened by default. I believe there are other threads here that suggest to not include the enterprise repo in the default install.

By the way - today morning:

-----------
Task viewer: Update package database

OutputStatus

Stop
error reading cached package status in /var/lib/pve-manager/pkgupdates

TASK ERROR: fileparse(): need a valid pathname at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/APT.pm line 91.
-------------

Not sure what to make of this. Happens in the get_changelog_url anonymous sub, seems $info->{FileName} is undefined or malformed.




ceterum censeo: It is next to impossible to paste code - or any text - into this discussion forum.
 
Investigating this further, a manual "apt update" revealed:

...

5 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
W: Problem unlinking the file auxfiles - Clean (21: Is a directory)

and I'm not the first one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/772846/apt-get-update-unlinking

I can confirm, that after a rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists followed by apt update the problem is gone. For apt. Proxmox updater still hangs there

Unfortunately neither nor.

pve-enterprise is commented out, there's only the pve-no-subscription repo.

I restarted the pveproxy service and reloaded the page. That Perl error is still there.

apt update works.

However...

Can it be, that there is a problem/incompatibility with https://wiki.debian.org/AptCacherNg ?

All packages are up to date.
 
Not on the machine in question, but another node - basically otherwise identical in configuration does not use it and does not experience these problems. Which regular expression do I need to correct in the source so these caching URLs are supported too? :)
 
Somehow I read that advice two times already.

Here's mine:

You could add to the Developer Documentation the relevant parts. Like e.g. how to debug the stuff.

because neither print/say, nor `cat $xxx > /dev/tmp` nor die "some message" in the source is working when one tries to see what is going on.

After adding a die, restarting pveproxy, having now the same error message + 1 line (line 92) I know the die is there, but it's simply ignored. Good job.

Looking in /var/log/pveproxy reveals also ... nothing, except lots of useless access.log messages "GET /api2/json/nodes/xxxxxx/status HTTP/1.1" 200 every second - seriously?

/var/log/pve/tasks

contains the error I see on the screen and nothing else. Ok, looking up the inheritance hierarchy ... Somehow syslog should be used. Yeah I will dig into where you catch the dies and the output. When there's time.


Sure, I may be new to Proxmox and many things may become clear later on, but please at least consider some of the entry barriers mentioned.

edit:

o_O

3 days later my die is found...

error reading cached package status in /var/lib/pve-manager/pkgupdates
Use of uninitialized value in die at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/APT.pm line 91.

TASK ERROR: Died at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/APT.pm line 91.


needless to say that I did restart pveproxy...
Seems like the APT upstream package AptPkg has a problem with the AptCacheNg, because PVE::API2::APT is getting a undefined value already. I will try to find out how to rectify that with upstream.
