Post subject:  Upgrade R6.04 -> R7.1 Fails : conflicting files

Folks,

I was excited to learn that R7 is out! Thanks to all for the hard work in putting this release together.

Unfortunately for me, I have found a problem that prevented my upgrade to complete, and am hoping some of you might be able to help me...

I followed the wiki instructions to perform the upgrade to R7.1 from R6.04. Everything went OK until all the new packages finished downloading. Some file conflict check after that failed. Here is what I saw on my screen:

Top Window:

:
removing portmap
wget: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat '/tmp/wallpaper.png': No such file or directory
All done!
Thanks for choosing LinHES!


Bottom Window:

:
checking for file conflicts...
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
dvb-firmware: /lib/firmware/xc3028L-v36.fw exists in filesystem
linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw exists in filesystem
linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-enc.fw exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.



I hit ENTER to reboot, hoping that since no packages were upgraded that I could still boot and use R6.04. But the boot process stalls. The splash screen stays up - frontend never starts...

I hit F2 to see the verbose output. The following text loops continually:

Starting lighttpd
Starting SSH
Starting Mysql
Starting NTPD
Fetching time

I could not use Alt-X to get an xterm. But I could access the terminal via Ctrl-Alt-F3. I found that the files mentioned above have an owner:

Code:
# pacman -Qo /lib/firmware/xc3028L-v36.fw
/lib/firmware/xc3028L-v36.fw is owned by hauppauge-hvr-firmware 1-3

# pacman -Qo /lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw is owned by hauppauge-hvr-firmware 1-3

# pacman -Qo /lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-enc.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-enc.fw is owned by hauppauge-hvr-firmware 1-3


I found this thread, but it does not give any suggestion what to do if the package has an owner:

Can someone please give me a hand to fix the file conflicts and complete the upgrade?

Thanks,
Trevor

hauppauge-hvr-firmware isn't needed anymore so just remove it.
Code:
pacman -R hauppauge-hvr-firmware

Then try the upgrade script again.

Edit #2: While I was able to get R6 back, I was unable to ssh out from the master because of a version mismatch so I have removed the code below.
I still couldn't upgrade because of the looping so what I did was to stop the sshd and ntpd.
Code:
sudo sv stop ntpd
sudo sv stop sshd

and then I was able upgrade to R7.1 but I will still need to undo what I did with the ssh version mismatch.

Had the same loop when I tried to upgrade. Solved using:
http://www.go2linux.org/linux/2010/05/p ... ed-object-

<ctrl><alt>F3
I logged in as root and used:
Code:
Removed


tested recordings, videos and music.
Hopefully, I didn't leave out any steps.
All is well so far.

Edit: Doing the above only got me back to R6 so not really solved.
I had tried Britney's suggestion previous to the above but it didn't help.
So I still need to do the upgrade.

And Thanks to all the developers.

Thanks for the tips.

I shutdown the looping processes, then was able to remove the hauppauge firmware package. I then re-ran the upgrade script, the file check succeeded and the installation of packages began. It *seemed* to complete OK. I saw a lot of warnings in the lower window that scrolled too fast to fully read, so I can only hope everything went well.

I rebooted and got the MythTV frontend menu - good. I tested a few things and they all looked to work. Somewhere my Hauppauge remote stopped working and I had to use the keyboard to navigate. But, I think I recall seeing a thread about lirc problems, so I will check that. The big deal is that my SPDIF digital audio worked out of the box this time, which is a first! It sure is nice not having to fiddle with that. Kudos and thanks to all for the nice work.

I had the "wget: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error as well and I solved it with
Code:
sudo pacman -Sy wget


The problem appears to be the wget is old and linked against an old version of libssl.so, upgrading wget fixed the problem for me. Hopefully this helps someone else.
