Summary: Software update of Help keeps failing; python errors checking some activities; misleading output.
My XO-1 was up-to-date against the Activities/G1G1Lite group for 10.1.2 before the olpc-upgrade to build 360. On reboot I was prompted to run Software update (nice!), it updated several activities, but then offered to upgrade two activities. I thought this was a second step so didn't pay attention to what activities they were and clicked [Install selected]. Now Software update keeps offering to upgrade Help from version 11 to 12. ~olpc/Activities has a Help from 2009-12-12 whose activity.info says activity_version=11 and there is a Help v.12 available, so it seems Software update does have something to do but fails. I have accumulated various activities over time, particularly from the glitch in updating to 10.1.2 where I got the big set of activities for XO-1.5 before I changed to the G1G1Lite activity group. I had removed some of those. I followed http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_update#Debugging_the_updater, $ sugar-control-panel -s install_update Help This was very slow checking some activities such as Help, Measure and Analyze, printing a "XX%" progress indicator == Misleading output == I note again that the URL that Software update claims that it's checking is wrong. It says "Fetching http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1Lite"; but it's actually fetching something like http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1Lite/10.1.3 . I already filed http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10321 == Python errors checking some activities == Software update prints python traceback errors, for Physics, Colors, Words, Ruler, Firefox, Stopwatch. All are the same: Checking ACTIVITY_NAME Failure updating ACTIVITY_NAME none none ... in _retrieve_update_version... in only_best_update, in __lt__, ... sugar/bundle/bundleversion.py line 135, in _cannot_compare % (Type(self). __name__, type(other).__name__)) TypeError: Can not compare NormalizedVersion and str I think these are installed activities that aren't in the G1G1Lite activity group. == Help update fails == But for Help, there's no error Software update just prints "downloading Help...", then exits without error. I don't see anything in shell.log Software update downloads a temp copy of the activity to ~olpc/Activities/HelpXXXXXX , but it removes it and I can't see how to keep this around to look at it. I'm not sure how to debug further. -- =S Page _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
