Tomte · 7. März 2013

Hello,

lately, I get

Code

E: Method gpgv has died unexpectedly!
E: Unterprozess gpgv hat einen Speicherzugriffsfehler empfangen.

after a

Code

apt-get update

or in my CRON-APT mails:

Code

CRON-APT RUN [/etc/cron-apt/config]: Thu Mar  7 07:35:03 CET 2013
CRON-APT SLEEP: 173, Thu Mar  7 07:37:56 CET 2013
CRON-APT ACTION: 0-update
CRON-APT LINE: /usr/bin/apt-get update -o quiet=2
E: Method gpgv has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process gpgv received a segmentation fault.

Does anybody know how to fix this?
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I did some investigations, but I am still not sure about the reason.
Maybe, I have lost my keyrings?
Should I have a file called:

Code

/root/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg

?

Can anybody please check? If I need it and I don't have, where do I get it from?

Any help would be appreciated, because I don't want to do a complete reinstall, but currently I don't get any updates because of the error!

Regards, Tomte

I do not have this file....

/root/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg

Tomte · 26. März 2013

Thank you!
No one has any further idea? Can I somehow reinstall without newinstall, a kind of repair-install?

Did you try "apt-get clean". A corrupted file, or not complete download, in your archives folder can cause issues with updating/upgrading. Also, what kernel are you running? Did you install new headers if you upgraded kernel. Can you copy and paste information when you run "apt-get update". I see from google searches that some people have had this error from an old module that is not longer supported. Maybe this gives you some ideas. I would not reinstall. Try to figuure this because there is no rush.

Hello,

thank you very much for the offer to help me.
I am running:

Code

uname -a
Linux openmediavault 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 25 00:26:11 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I did not install any new headers nor did I ugrade the kernel, at least not by intention.
I have to admit, that I have only basic linux knowledge.
Here is, what is happening:

I did try to "google" my problem - but without success.

Any hint would be highly appreciated!

Why don't you copy your sources.list somewhere and try the US repos. See if that works.

cd /etc/apt
cp sources.list /home
nano sources.list

Code

Put that in and save. Then

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Hello,

thanks, I tried it, but it does not work.
I have a lot in /etc/apt, ist that ok?

try:

apt-get autoremove

Tomte · 29. März 2013

I tried, but it replied, that it had nothing to do.
And after the update, I still get the same error message. :cry:

Do you have any other idea?

Regards, Tomte

tekkb · 29. März 2013

Did you take the # off any line with "volatile" in your sources.list. Volatile is no longer supported. Take that line out and:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

If this does not help show me your sources.list

Tomte · 29. März 2013

Hello,

I copied and pasted the source file you provided, nothing else.
Maybe I have too many spaces in, but it did not complain.
Does apt-get parse any additional files I should check?

Regards, Tomte

tekkb · 30. März 2013

So you were able to update/upgrade when you changed your sources.list? I don't know what the issue was with your sources.list. You would have to post it and maybe we can find what was causing the problem. When you do an apt-get update/upgrade it will check the repos for the standard plugins and 3rd Party Plugins too.

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list
/etc/apt/source.list.d/omv-plugins-org-fedaykin.list

You may have added other repos too but these are the main 3 that omv uses.

Tomte · 2. April 2013

Hello,

sorry, you misunderstood me, my problem still exists. I still have no fix.
So in the end, all *.list files are used during apt-get update?
So i could rename them to see it my problem is fixed?
I have installed some things via dpgk. Does this have any influence?

Regards, Tomte

tekkb · 2. April 2013

From the research I did on google this was rare. Some had repo issue but there were others problems. The apt-get upgrade will check all repos that were last updated with apt-get update. I will look some more when I have time. Did you follow any non debian guides to install some packages?
