OMV 1.18 CRON-APT Error: The value 'stable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

Yes, same problem here. Solved it the same way as you did. After changing the value to "wheezy" everything updated as normal. Would like to know if the solution is correct though and why that is happening.

Your changes are correct. The reason it happens is because of the jessie release. @votdev should be able to fix this.

Hi,

I have had the same problem.
I had to replace "stable" with "wheezy" in the different file: /etc/apt/apt.conf

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OMV 1.18 Kralizec 64-bit | 3.16 backport kernel | omv-extras.org 1.17

It should really be replaced everywhere in apt config files.

By the way, this is only affects systems upgraded from 0.5. Just remove apt.conf rm -f /etc/apt/apt.conf and it should be fine. The file isn't used anymore.

Same problem, good tips !!

My OMV install was a clean install of 1.0, but I'm getting this same error. I don't have the /etc/apt/apt.conf file.

My OMV is also a clean install of 1.0. Same Error here

SystemError: E:The value 'stable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

What is the output of: grep -r "stable" /etc/apt/*

I've got the same - running the command above I get:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99openmediavault-release:APT::Default-Release "stable";

I'm on version 1.18

ETA - thought I'd post it here but there's always the potential for me not understanding this stuff! Was a clean install of 1.0 IIRC

I don't have that file on any of my systems either.

As root:
mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99openmediavault-release /root/
apt-get update

If no errors, delete the file:
rm /root/99openmediavault-release

i had to change

APT::Default-Release "stable";

to

APT::Default-Release "wheezy";

in /etc/apt/apt.conf

You can delete that file (/etc/apt/apt.conf). It is not needed.

Thanks - done - will see if the e-mail error warnings disappear!

6 updates have now appeared in my web gui update list, which weren't available earlier

This is the right solution for me !

I just removed apt.conf as instructed above and all is back to normal.
Initially upgraded from 0.5, now to 1.18
Thanks

Worked for me : rm -f /etc/apt/apt.conf

From mail I had this warning :

From the webinterface, no updates were available

I guess that only using SSH can fix it the problem ?

Yep, ssh or local login.

I think I have the same problem. Trying to update OMV via web-gui its stucked at the point "Reading state information".

Then I tried all above mentioned steps. But on my OMV i did not have the file "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99openmediavault-release" or "/etc/apt/apt.conf".

The ouput of "

grep -r "stable" /etc/apt/*

"

is:

/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/omv-extras-org-kralizec.list:deb http://www.greyhole.net/releases/deb stable main

How could I solve this?

Thanks!!
