Bug#526431: cron-apt: Updates but does not upgrade. Logfiles
Hi Henry Quoting Henry Bremridge henry.bremri...@xobie.com: Ola Aghh... :) 1/ Keeping MAILON=always Commenting out EXITON line Just commenting it out do not help as exit on error is the default. You need to set it to something else, but I do not remember right now the correct value. IF there is an error in the sources.list then cron-apt does not try and upgrade If all lines in sources.list work, then cron-apt works like a dream :-) 2/ All entries are going to syslog There are no files under /var/log/cron-apt Ok. Config file (to avoid doubt) that generated those logfiles was as follows APTCOMMAND=/usr/bin/aptitude RUNSLEEP=3600 MINTMPDIRSIZE=10 ACTIONDIR=/etc/cron-apt/action.d NOLOCKWARN= ERROR=/var/log/cron-apt/error TEMP=/var/log/cron-apt/temp LOG=/var/log/cron-apt/log MAIL=/var/log/cron-apt/mail MAILTO=root MAILON=always SYSLOGON=output DEBUG=output OPTIONS=-o quiet=1 DIFFIGNORE=^\(Get:[[:digit:]]\+\|Hit\|Ign\|Del\|Fetched\|Freed\|Reading\)[[:space:]] Many thanks for your help You are perfectly welcome // Ola -- Henry On Thu, May 07, 2009 at 08:12:12AM +0200, Ola Lundqvist wrote: Hi Henry I have checked your log file now and that explains what happens. You have the following settings enabled: MAILON=error EXITON=error This means that an email is sent when an error occurs (check your mail settings if you have not got such) and that it should also exit on errors. So this is actually how it should work. I'm closing this bug now. Thanks a lot for the report and the help to collect information.

Bug#526431: cron-apt: Updates but does not upgrade. Further data
Hi Henry You have found the problem, so it is not so much for me to do. :-) Basically cron-apt can only do that apt (or aptitude) can do and in this case it fails because of a problem with the sources.list file. A bit interesting that it was not logged though. I think that can be improved for later releases. I think it is because errors were not sent to the logging process. If you run apt-get logfile.txt 21 with the -x option enabled as I described in an earlier mail I think I can tell that for sure. Best regards, // Ola Quoting Henry Bremridge henry.bremri...@xobie.com: Ola Apologies was a bit too quick to send the earlier message. 1/ If any line in /etc/apt/sources.list fails then the upgrade fails 2/ If sources.list works then cron-apt works 3/ I have tried this with both apt-get and aptitude My current system now is as follows - removed the secure-testing lines - reusing aptitude Again please advise if you wish me try anything else -- Henry Photocopies or faxes of my signature are not binding.

Bug#526431: cron-apt: Updates but does not upgrade
Package: cron-apt Version: 0.6.8 Severity: normal After updating from Lenny to Squeeze last week, I realised that while packages were being downloaded, cron-apt was not upgrading any packages. Cron-apt was working normally on Lenny My /etc/config file is the following APTCOMMAND=/usr/bin/aptitude RUNSLEEP=3600 MINTMPDIRSIZE=10 ACTIONDIR=/etc/cron-apt/action.d NOLOCKWARN= ERROR=/var/log/cron-apt/error TEMP=/var/log/cron-apt/temp LOG=/var/log/cron-apt/log MAIL=/var/log/cron-apt/mail MAILTO=root MAILON=always DEBUG=output OPTIONS=-o quiet=1 DIFFIGNORE=^\(Get:[[:digit:]]\+\|Hit\|Ign\|Del\|Fetched\|Freed\|Reading\)[[:space:]] My Var/log/cron-apt directory contains a file log.
