Can't update pkg in Iocage

[xaser]

Hi guys,

I have been trying to update my Plex jail (manual jail) and am getting the following errors:

root@plex:~ # pkg update

I am not sure what's going on? I recently moved Truenas and updated all my jails (they are all 11.3).

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Looks like a network issue.
Check your access to the internet.

Thank you - I checked and the server is up (and all the jails connect to both the internet and intranet).

Also, if you click the link above, it also gives an error 404 - is that the wrong address?

 

[sretalla]

I think you might find that 11.3 is what changed... no longer supported.

If you're considering using that system in the future to add software and keep it updated, consider moving to at least 12 if not 13.

@sretalla is correct. Upstream FreeBSD end-of-lifed all the 11 links. You'll need to recreate your jails on >= 12.3.

 

[xaser]

Sorry for going MAI here - in case it helps, I created a new jail (13.1) and re-installed Plex Server and that obviously fixed the issue :) Thank you!

@sretalla is correct. Upstream FreeBSD end-of-lifed all the 11 links. You'll need to recreate your jails on >= 12.3.

So recreate is necessary? I upgraded my 11.3 jail to 13.1 but I still get the same pkg error as the OP. I can't do anything with my existing jail apart from moving its contents to a new one?

 

[sretalla]

You had a window of several years when you could have upgraded, but that window is now closed.

Creating a new jail and transferring the important content is all you have.

But what upgrade window did I miss? The jail in question is already upgraded to 13.1 as of this summer or maybe in 2021, but positively after 11.3 went EOL on 30 September 2020.

I am puzzled by the fact that the pkg output mentions version 11 when the jail runs on 13.

If the jail in question is 13.1 already then

Code:

iocage console <jailname>
pkg-static install -f pkg

will probably do the trick.

No luck.
But look at the 3 ping results. pkg & pkg-static are looking for http://... but it is not resolvable when pinging with http/s. Server name only resolves and is contacted, though. Does this explain anything?

You have FreeBSD:11:amd64 in your repo config - that's not going to work. You are sure this jail was updated?

Are you by any chance using uname to check? This command does not give you the installed FreeBSD version. It gives you the kernel version which is the kernel of your NAS host.

The correct command to check the FreeBSD version is - surprise - freebsd-version.

If your jail is really 13.1 you probably need to update /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf. Here's a default version from a current system:

Code:

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

And ping only takes host names or IP addresses, not complete URLs. Your command output is perfectly expected. The error is probably because there is either a hardcoded version 11 in your repo config or your jail is really still running FreeBSD 11.

HTH,
Patrick

 

[guermantes]

Oh dang!
And there I was thinking that 13.1 specified upon login to the jail referred to the jail.
Guess I need to recreate then... :-(
Thanks for the help!

Just upgrade it - iocage upgrade -r 13.1 <jailname>, then go ahead with the packages.

i might be wrong and i might be posting this in wrong thread, so please point me in right direction.

What should i do to resolv this?

 

[Alecmascot]

You need to be in a jail !!

 

[danb35]

What should i do to resolv this?

As you were already told at least twice in the other thread you posted in, don't run pkg commands in the base TrueNAS system.

 

[richiie89]

Thank you for information, i solved the problem by doing the following: fixed by editing the configuration files in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/, setting toggling the “enabled” parameter to “no” for local.conf and to “yes” for FreeBSD.conf

After this was done, i run pkg update

Did you do this in a jail, or in the base system? If you did it in the base system, you've likely badly broken things. In a jail, you shouldn't have needed to mess with the configuration files at all.
