Problem running any update command in Jail

[dambrosioj]

I was trying to update my Emby-server just running a simple pkg install as i normally do. I kept getting errors stating: Failed to create temporary file, file already exists.

I thought it was odd so I went ahead and just created a brand new jail and ran a simple "pkg update && pkg upgrade" and I get the same error. Not sure what is going on. I attached a screen shot of whats happening. Not sure if something is stuck in temp somewhere?

I had exact same problem trying to do a pkg install (I was trying to install minidlna). And I did the same thing: I too created a new jail and tried it again. Sure enough same error. Suggest something is not right with pkg install at the moment.

it looks like your problem is with a specific file for db5. I would try force uninstalling it, the reinstall it and run the upgrade.

pkg -f remove db5

I did the command it removed it and retried, same error. That file is not there I checked.

why are you saying that is the same error? did you read the error, it is clearly for a different package.

Because it is the same error, im showing you that it happens on other packages. The problem is it stating theres a temp file but there isnt one there.

I would be curious if anyone just threw up a random jail and ran, pkg install emby-server

I would assume you get the same error

ahh, well I showed you how to fix it for one package so you could do that for everything needing updating.

have you tried changing your package server?

Well the problem is it did not fix it even for the other package I still get the same error for db5. Even after it was removed. The remove worked, but as soon as you try to install the package again, "cannot create temporary file. File exists"

To me that seems like theres a problem with packager or something since it still happens if i create a brand new jail and test it, how can the file be there.

What should I change the package server to?

ahh

im not sure what to change to, does the jail come with /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
I've fixed issues before by deleting that file.

Got it to work by manually updating packager

root@openvpn /]# portsnap fetch
[root@openvpn /]# portsnap extract

[root@openvpn /]# pkg delete -f pkg
[root@openvpn /]# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
[root@openvpn /]# make clean install
