ipkg upgrade output
For the last couple of days, after issuing "ipkg upgrade" command, I always get the following output:
Code:
Configuring cyrus-sasl
Please read the man page of saslauthd and
check settings in /opt/etc/init.d/S52saslauthd
If you dislike the link /usr/lib/sasl2 -> /opt/lib/sasl2
then you may want to set SASL_PATH instead
(re)starting service saslauthd
postinst script returned status 1
ERROR: cyrus-sasl.postinst returned 1
Nothing to be done
Successfully terminated.
What is the reason for this and what should I do?
-
since every time you want to install cyrus-sasl during upgrade and fails it stays in the list to be upgraded.
perhaps the easiest way is by removing cyrus-sasl and reinstalling it
Code:
ipkg remove cyrus-sasl
ipkg update
ipkg install cyrus-sasl
now hopefully ipkg upgrade should work fine:)

Still the same error. I'll try a few more tricks in this direction.
-
If you do an 'ipkg install' on an existing package it should do an upgrade automatically.
otherwise you could probably delete this file:
/opt/lib/ipkg/lists/optware
and then do ipkg update
Hope that helps..

I moved/renamed the file /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/optware and repeated ipkg update and ipkg upgrade - this time the output was without the "extra" lines. :) Thanks.
Although I'm not 100% the optware file had anything to do with it (esp. because the old file and the new file had the same size). Maybe it had to do with this file:
/opt/var/state/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid
...especially since the following lines were always in the log when starting the reboot:
Code:
<35>saslauthd[2797]: detach_tty: could not lock pid file /opt/var/state/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid: resource temporarily unavailable
<35>saslauthd[2796]: detach_tty: cannot start saslauthd
<35>saslauthd[2796]: detach_tty: another instance of saslauthd is currently running
Namely, in the same session as deleting the optware file, I also killed this process:
Code:
150 ? Ss 0:00 /opt/sbin/saslauthd -a getpwent -n 1
which was then automatically restarted. Maybe this solved the issue. As for the reason "why" this all happened, the mystery still remains. :D
