Bunch of broken/stuck updates appeared today

jackster · 30. Oktober 2018

These 10 updates appeared today for me in "Update Management":

python-certbot (0.25.0-1~bpo9+1)
openmediavault-letsencrypt (3.4.5)
python3-acme (0.25.1-1~bpo9+1)
python3-asn1crypto (0.24.0-1~bpo9+1)
python3-certbot (0.25.0-1~bpo9+1)
python3-cryptography (2.3-1~bpo9+1)
python3-pbr (4.2.0-4~bpo9+2)
python3-requests (2.12.4-1)
python3-requests-toolbelt (0.7.0-1)
python-urllib3 (1.24-1~bpo9+1)

Trouble with them is, I selected them all (as I usually do) and pressed "Upgrade" but instead of them installing I was just met with the following recurring error:

Code

The following packages have unmet dependencies: python3-requests : Depends: python3-chardet (>= 3.0.2) but 2.3.0-2 is to be installedE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I then tried to install them one by one since they all are still showing up in the update list but now I just get a message saying that the package is already installed: "X is already the newest version -0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded". The only exception to this is "python3-requests (2.12.4-1)" which is still throwing the error about having held broken packages.

I'm not really sure how to proceed with this, somehow the update list got broken by the python3-requests upgrade and now I can't get rid of them anymore from the Update Management -list even though 9 out of 10 packages seem to have installed? And what can I do to fix the python3-chardet issue? I haven't had any issues with updates before today...

Thanks in advance for any help!

What does omv-update say?

Actually, I was able to resolve the issue just now by me selecting and upgrading only "python-urllib3 (1.24-1~bpo9+1)" which made 8 out of 10 stuck updates disappear. I thought I had also tried that one but apparently I hadn't... The 2 remaining ones were then also successfully upgraded when I selected them and pressed "Upgrade". So everything seems to be ok now.

I still tried 'omv-update' just in case and there were no errors. I'll mark the thread as resolved, thanks for your reply though!

omv-update would have fixed it then. The problem is that selecting all the packages in the updates tab force apt to install all of those packages. In reality, one of them might have been removed due to dependencies. omv-update (or apt-get upgrade) resolve that properly. I need to add an apt-get upgrade button to omv-extras.

hi,

i was in the same situation, but doing an upgrade with OMV interface results in removing all packages and now i'm stuck: letsencrypt could not be installed anymore

Bash

apt install openmediavault-letsencrypt
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:


The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openmediavault-letsencrypt : Depends: certbot but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
