[solved] upgrade-problem with apt-get

Hello together,

i have a recurring problem with 'apt-get upgrade'. It seems, that three libs for libqt4 (and sql) are not updated. every time the following libs appears and every time no error will be displayed.
Does anyone know a solution?

Code:

home/user # apt-get upgrade

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

The following packages have been kept back:

  meegotouchtheme

The following packages will be upgraded:

  libqt4-sql libqt4-sql-sqlite libqt4-xml

3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Need to get 0B/221kB of archives.

After this operation, 12,3kB disk space will be freed.

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y

Solution:
------------
1. rename filenames for packages with wrong characters (in this case ':' for '%3a') in filename not updated in /opt/var/cache/apt/archives/: '(cd /opt/var/cache/apt/archives/; mv {wrong_package_filename} {filename})'
2. manually install this files with 'dpkg -i /opt/var/cache/apt/archives/{filename}'
3. execute: 'apt-get clean; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' to verify

Re: upgrade-problem with apt-get

Check for the status report of dpkg

Code:

dpkg -l | grep libqt4-sql

There might be a corrupted database?

Re: upgrade-problem with apt-get

Hej,
thank you for your answer!

Code:

dpkg -l | grep libqt4-sql

ii  libqt4-sql                1:4.7.4-git20110505+cssu11        Qt  4  SQL module

ii  libqt4-sql-module        1:4.7.4-git20110505+cssu11        Qt  4  SQLite plugin



dpkg -l | grep libqt4-xml

ii  libqt4-xml                1:4.7.4-git20110505+cssu11        Qt  4  XML module

ii  libqt4-xmlpatterns        1:4.7.4-git20110505+cssu11        Qt  4  XML Patterns module

It seems, that apt-get upgrade tries to update the same version (1:4.7.4-git20110505+cssu11) or does see there a little difference in installed and the versions to upgrade?

with regrads,
Christian

Re: upgrade-problem with apt-get

seems like apt-get doesnt like the ':' contra '%3A' and interpretes the '%3A' as being a newer version

Re: upgrade-problem with apt-get

It is also worth noting that "apt-get upgrade" can generally be a bad idea on N900, especially when you have devel repos enabled;)

Re: upgrade-problem with apt-get

Yeah,
but also aptitude safe-upgrade show this repaeting upgrade behaviour.
Do i have to wait until next versions of packages appear with correct numbering or can i upgrade manually with dpkg and tell apt not to use this version with ":".

Great find!!!
This is some kind of an encoding problem, usually url-encoding.
But may be file system encoding... What is the output of

Code:

ls -al /var/cache/apt

Re: upgrade-problem with apt-get

so, here output for lipqt4-sql:

Code:

/home/user # ls -al /opt/var/cache/apt/archives/ |grep libqt4-sql

i googled a little bit, but apt-name to repair is not present.
Can i simple rename them?

Re: upgrade-problem with apt-get

Yes, you can.
You may have to install them manually

Code:

sudo gainroot

dpkg -i /opt/var/cache/apt/archives/libqt4-sql-sqlite_1:4.7.4~git20110505+cssu11_armel.deb

dpkg -i /opt/var/cache/apt/archives/libqt4-sql_1:4.7.4~git20110505+cssu11_armel.deb

dpkg -i /opt/var/cache/apt/archives/libqt4-sql-xml_1:4.7.4~git20110505+cssu11_armel.deb

Please note: Although your cache for apt is on /opt, which is ext3-formatted file system, there is still a chance this just is a link to some folder on the fat32-formatted MyDocs partition. You could follow the link chain. This is the output for my N900
