RPi OMV7 upgrade 7.7.5 and 7.7.6 problem

CyberLeader3000 · May 1st 2025

The OMV7 7.7.5 update did not install correctly, there seems to be a problem in a Python module with a file. I tried some things but could not get 7.7.5 to install correctly.

I figured I would wait a bit and see if there was an update that fixed it. I tried 7.7.6 today and it had the same problem.

I am running OMV7 on a RPi 5 CM with the I/O board connected to an ASM1166 SATA controller with 4 drives.

Any thoughts or hints would be useful.

You installed saltstack 3007.0. OMV 7 does not support 3007.

CyberLeader3000 · May 1st 2025

Thanks for the very quick reply. I am not sure, I don't think I have installed saltstack 3007.0. I only used the system update functions in OMV and did not update it separately.

When I checked apt, it does not seem to have saltstack 3007 installed just 3006:

Code

pi@nassie5bw:~ $ apt list --installed | grep salt

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

salt-common/sandworm,sandworm,sandworm,sandworm,now 3006.0+ds-1+232.1 all [installed,automatic]
salt-minion/sandworm,sandworm,sandworm,sandworm,now 3006.0+ds-1+232.1 all [installed,automatic]

However, it looks like /usr/bin/salt-call requires 3007:

Python

#!/usr/bin/python3
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'salt==3007.0','console_scripts','salt-call'
import re
import sys

# for compatibility with easy_install; see #2198
__requires__ = 'salt==3007.0'

I tried reinstalling 3006, no change. I removed salt-* files in /usr/bin and reinstall saltstack with:

Code

pi@nassie5bw:/usr/bin $ sudo apt-get reinstall salt-common=3006.0+ds-1+232.1
pi@nassie5bw:/usr/bin $ sudo apt-get reinstall salt-minion=3006.0+ds-1+232.1

The /usr/bin/salt-* file installed for version 3006 has the code that says 3007 is required. It looks like there might be a problem with saltstack 3006.

Thanks.

The maintainers of the Salt package used in OMV have backported many things from Salt 3007.

The origin problem is IMO that your filesystem is corrupted and therefor some files are erroneous. Try to reinstall the packages.

saltstack can be installed with python pip too.

Thanks ryecoaaron,

Is it a good idea to use pip? When I try I get this message:

Code

pi@nassie5bw:~ $ sudo pip install saltstack
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install

    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,

Hi votdev,

I agree but I don't know how they became corrupted since I only used the OMV update screen.

I tried re-installing salt-common and salt-minion, but they seem to install the 3006 which still references 3007.

Which modules should I re-install? (and how? is it just apt-get?)

I would rather not have to reinstall OMV 7 from scratch.

Thanks.

Definitely not. I was just saying that it could've been updated if you use pip. Using pip on an OMV system is not recommended.

Is the OS installed on an SD card? If it is, it could be failing.
