Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

pr 1.3 too big o fit?

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

The thread "App Man Repository Problem" (4 posts) has been merged into this thread.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

packages.gz file was edited today but it's empty.... no release notes. nothing :S

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Yeah but they wouldn't just up and come out with 1.3 would they? I mean didn't they come out with a small update 1.1 somethin, before 1.2?

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

So are we really the only ones havin this problem? Has anyone found a soulution or explanation??

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Getting this too what's happening? Anyone managed to solve this in any way? Who is responsible for the repos?

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Explanation: The packages lists that apt (the backend for every application manager on n900) needs to be able to download to know what packages are installable have become corrupted on the repository.maemo.org server.

Solution: whoever manages repository.maemo.org needs to figure out what went wrong and fix it. Beyond that - nothing you or I can do, aside from possibly voting for the bug already reported (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11348), which may or may not do anything useful.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Thanks for the explanation, I voted as well.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

I am not sure if filling a bug report would help at all.

Whoever manages the repos needs to get this sorted. It is really worrying that it hasn't been sorted yet. It basically means that nobody is monitoring the repositories.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Also it is impossible to install/update maemo SDK due to this issue. Some people here report that this repo is working for them - how is that possible?

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Although I tend to agree with you, a bug report is at least a start.

That is also a concern, with Nokia dropping support for the N900, how will this affect the Nokia repositories in the long term. Maemo I can understand, maybe someone is have a bad day :D

maybe this guy can help

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Just checked in @ the #maemo channel on Freenode and they're aware of the problem (it's mentioned in the topic).

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

MohammadAG pinged him some time ago. Indeed, I expect there's been a fair bit of talk about this issue on IRC. I don't know who has rights to flush the cache, but I imagine this will come up during discussions concerning the handover of maemo.org.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Apparently this has happened before so maybe, for this specific issue, a cron job could check the Packages.gz file and recreate it (flush the cache) if it didn't pass the test (gunzip, verify contents etc)... ;)

EDIT -> Maybe the current import job should just check if the import went well before replacing the index (Packages.gz). I'm guessing it doesn't... ;)

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

using the application manager to edit your repository lists (catalogues) it doesn't look like you can edit the "maemo.org catalogue" with the GUI. I have been able to work around this thing temporarily by disabling that repo (and others generating that gzip error) and creating a new one that is identical, but with "fremantle-1.3" instead of "fremantle-1.2" in the distribution field (obviously you can use a different title). I can't say it's totally safe, but I have been playing with it all day with no trouble.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

if every n900 user out there experience this problem, why is the related bug (#11348) voted only 7 times??

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

I tried this morning to check updates and the maemo.org catalog fails to refresh. Tried this afternoon, same result.

Hopefully tomorrow, this will be okay. Manually seeking for updates.......eeeeww..

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

I also am having this problem. and it REALLY sucks too because I just got my phone back from its fourth and final trip for warranty repair.. i feel like im about to throw it out a window at this point.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

It's best you just send it to me so I can have two of these babies :D

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

I'm having the same problem since yesterday. What's going on!? No solution yet? :/

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

I'm getting the exact same problem. Maemo.org isn't able to refresh, but extras-testing and extras-devel are working just fine... How do we vote on the bug report?

Re: Application list partially refreshed. Some catalogs unavaliable--Extras-Devel
 

I'm having a similar problem,

I've just received a replacement n900 from nokia after the charging element fell out of my last one. I have reflashed the device to the latest firmware (though this problem happened both before and after the reflash).

When i go to update the device i get the error message

"Application list partially refreshed. Some catalogues unavailable. Check catalogue details. "

When I click on details it tells me it is the maemo.org catalogue that is failing. there's a red error message saying...

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/d...el/Packages.gz
Sub-Process gzip returned an error code (1)
http://repository.maemo.org/extras/d...el/Packages.gz
Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

anyone any ideas of how i get this fixed?

Many thanks!

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

I can't believe this is taking a whole day. I wouldn't be so frustrated if I haden't had to reflash my phone and now can't install anything on it.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

One post by katesbush moved to this thread from another.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

As a workaround if you are stuck and must update, you can edit the extras repo and change the URL from repository.maemo.org to stage.maemo.org - but please change it back once the normal repo is fixed.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Am having the same problem since yesterday any hopes of it getting fixed any time soon????

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

PATIENCE is a valuable virtue guys. So please don't get all panicky, be calm and listen to some slow music or go out with friends or something :)

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

That worked great. got my Apps back on my N900. What is the difference between stage.maemo.org and repository.maemo.org? are they both the same builds?

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

I think maybe repository is on the CDN and stage is not (maybe stage is the source from which CDN is populated?)

AFAIK contents of both should be the same so stage is a good one to keep disabled as emergency backup in case main repo ever breaks again (as it has in the past)

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

Because it's only a temporary issue, not exactly a deal breaker at all either, just a minor inconvenience that can be worked around with dpkg as desired. (or stage as mentioned above) : )

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

That's exactly what I did, just disabled it and kept it as a last solution.

Looks like there was some problem on the server side and the cache network
cached the broken page. I am flushing the cache now, that should fix it.

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

when will 1.3 update hits the N900?

Re: Failed catalogue: maemo.org Extras. "Sub-process gzip returned an error code."
 

This is my clumsy method...
