You’re filesystem isn’t full, is it?

nephros · 31 March 2022 05:19

This warning is printed evey time, it’s harmless in the case of ssu lr.

ssu ar/dr also work without root permissions for user repos.

The only time you should need root is when adding or removing system repos, which is rare.

According to some googling that message indicates the zypper cache is corrupted.

Renaming/deleting it and doing a pkcon refresh should help.

I can’t say at the moment where that cache is, either /var/cache/zypp or somewhere in /home/.foo (NOT /home/user/.foo!).

See this post for detailed instructions, but probably without the symlinking.

Someone please confirm.

Oh, what an impedance mismatch!

@neo75, let me try to translate the recommendations:

Check for full filesystems in Settings->Storage or by executing df -h
If there is only little space left (denote where?) you have to (re)move stuff (you may ask “what?”, when you reported what you see).
Lastly test if a pkcon refresh works.
If not, try removing the Zypper cache (reference, e.g., URL scheme is a required component): It is just a cache, you may simply remove it by executing devel-su rm -rf /home/.zypp-cache/*
Then test if a pkcon refresh works.

No, I have not installed zypper as far as I know.
zypper from command line shows just:

Yes, I have paid license from year 2018 continually updated the SFOS.

O.K, repo config (ssu lr) looks O.K., neither the root partition or the home partition is full (although 687 MB free is getting tight for SFOS upgrades), so two options remain:

devel-su rm -rf /home/.zypp-cache/*
Then try pkcon refresh again.
File a support ticket at https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new, using the title of this thread (“topic”) and maybe also a link to it.

Good luck!

neo75 · 31 March 2022 16:43

Thanks for support! I will try it. Just for being sure, I am asking:
devel-su rm -rf /home/.zypp-cache/*
deletes a lot of data.
What exactly will happen after this rm command?
What is the .zypp-cache directory for?

Thanks

olf · 31 March 2022 17:07

Nothing will “happen”, just because you delete the cached data for libzypp.

What is the .zypp-cache directory for?

Caching repo-data for libzypp. You might look at its entries and RTFM.

But actually I makes sense to try this first (see ssu --help):
devel-su
rm -f /var/cache/ssu/features.ini
ssu ur

neo75 · 31 March 2022 21:49

I did all these commands:
devel-su rm -f /var/cache/ssu/features.ini
devel-su rm -rf /home/.zypp-cache/*
devel-su ssu ur

with result:

Sorry for the pointess remark, but: what the hell!

nephros · 1 April 2022 05:56

Ah I think I got it. this is wrong:

* mentaljam-obs … [Index of /obs/home:/mentaljam/4.3.0.15_armv7hl](http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/mentaljam/4.3.0.15_armv7hl/)

Anyway you should be able to

devel-su ssu rr mentaljam-obs
pkcon refresh

and things should start to work again.

Later you can do

    ssu ar mentaljam-obs http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/mentaljam/4.3.0.15_armv7hl/

taking care that it’s a proper URL.

But it would be interesting how this ended up in your repo list. Did you ever add that repo manually? It looks like it can be caused by copy-pasting from this forum or another place which silently replaces URLs by markdown syntax.

neo75 · 1 April 2022 06:53

After command: “devel-su ssu rr mentaljam-obs”
I have obtained the same message as before:

You could try to edit that repo out (or fix the url) in /etc/ssu.ini maybe?

Actually, it might be it’s just the forum formatting/preview thing which makes the entry look wrong in the post above.
Because I just added that ‘illegal’ value to my local ssu.ini and it does not cause breakage.

@neo75 please look at the /etc/ssu/ssu.ini file itself and see if any of the lines in there look like they might have an illegal/unusual value.

I also found this:

https://together.jolla.com/question/226649/updating-to-33016-fails-via-ui-and-terminal/

where the suggestion is to move away all the files in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ and try again.
