  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • Frontend (orchestrator): v6.2.0 → v6.4.0
  • KVM Hypervisor: v6.2.0 → v6.4.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • On the orchestrator

All packages were successfully upgraded for the OpenNebula orchestration

#=====================================================

NOTE:

About dpkg -l you must know the following arguments:

  • “first letter”: Desired state.
  • “second letter”: Package status.

Some examples:

  • ii: The package was marked for installation && The package is successfully installed in the system.
  • rc: The package was marked for removal && The configuration files are currently present in the system.
  • iF: The package was marked for installation && Half configured.

What to do with packages with these two letters codes?

  • If package has code ii, then everything is OK.
  • If package has code rc, then execute the following command:
dpkg --list | grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge
  • If package has code iF, then execute the following command:
dpkg --configure -a

#=====================================================

All packages for opennebula in the orchestrator were successfully installed (code ii).

  • On the hypervisor

After ran the following command:

VER=6.4.0
echo "deb https://downloads.opennebula.io/repo/$VER/Ubuntu/20.04 stable opennebula" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opennebula.list && \
apt update && \
apt install --only-upgrade opennebula-node-kvm -y

During the upgrade, it was throw the following error:

Reading package lists... Done

opennebula-node-kvm is already the newest version (6.4.0-1).

Verifying the new opennebula installed packages on the hypervisors:

ii  opennebula-common    6.4.0-1 all Common OpenNebula package shared by various components (Community Edition)
ii  opennebula-common-on 6.4.0-1 all Helpers for OpenNebula onecfg (Community Edition)
iF  opennebula-node-kvm  6.4.0-1 all Services for OpenNebula KVM node (Community Edition)

As you can see, the opennebula-node-kvm package was installed, but not completely configured. Reccommended actions to fix this, running the follow:

dpkg --configure -a

Returned same error the apt threw before:

The cluster it was upgraded enterly with this issue, and for now is working fine. The following output from the orchestrator indicate that KVM hypervisors are online.

  ID NAME                                             CLUSTER    TVM      ALLOCATED_CPU      ALLOCATED_MEM STAT

   1 ON-C1-N2-kvm                                     KVM          6   600 / 1600 (37%)  22.8G / 31G (73%) on
   0 ON-C1-N1-kvm                                     KVM          4   400 / 1600 (25%)    16G / 31G (51%) on

The cluster has VMs running inside these KVM hypervisors.

So…is this error some kind of false positive?
Should I be worried about it?
It can be fixed?

Current results:
The package opennebula-node-kvm was installed but is half configured.

Expected results:
All packages upgraded with new version 6.4.0 and with dpkg -l code ii

Anyone? Come on…this must happened to another one…it happened to me following official documentation… :frowning:

Thank you for reporting this issue.

In the package post-install script, the membership was wrongly detected, however, it seems to be harmless in terms of functionality.

Fix will be delivered in the upcoming releases

Thanks for your reply. I will wait for a fix for this…After the upgradet and due to this error, apt is becoming anoying complaining about this error…

@jorel Jan, I have the same error during installing opennebula-node-kvm_6.6.0 . Was it not fixed?

I have same error during installation 6.6.0-1 release

Can you fix this manually aswell?

E.g. go tamper in the install files?

iF  opennebula-node-kvm                  6.6.1.1-1                      all          Services for OpenNebula KVM node (Community Edition)

EDIT 2:

After searching through:

https://downloads.opennebula.io/repo/6.6.0/
https://downloads.opennebula.io/repo/6.6/
https://downloads.opennebula.io/repo/6.8/

The postinst files are the same. But I am getting the same error.

EDIT 3:

Adding #!/bin/sh -x to /var/lib/dpkg/info/opennebula-node-kvm.postinst helped find the faulty line.
