Hi,

first of all, sorry, but I’m absolutely no openSUSE expert. I manage a openSUSE VM which I got from a former employee. Now I wanted to upgrade it from 15.2 to 15.3 but I get a upgrade conflict which I’m not able to resolve. Here are some details. If i missed some important infos, please ask me and I’m happy to provide more details.

After downloading all the packages it checks for conflicts and reports a conflict:



Checking for file conflicts: ........................................................................................................................[error]
Detected 1 file conflict:


File /usr/lib64/libhandle.so.1.0.3
  from install of
     xfsprogs-4.15.0-4.27.1.x86_64 (oss)
  conflicts with file from package
     libhandle1-4.15.0-lp152.12.6.1.x86_64 (@System)


File conflicts happen when two packages attempt to install files with the same name but different contents. If you continue, conflicting files will be replaced losing the previous content.

No I stuck on this conflict which I can’t resolve. I tried several things, but all failed. Prior to upgrading again (after I restored the VM from the snapshot before even trying to upgrade) I tried do remove libhandle and/or xfsprogs but both ends in the conflict again (so even if I remove libhandle before upgrading + reboot the machine, the conflict appears, thus I seems that the upgrade process is installing both packages anyway resulting in the conflict no matter what). Those xfsprogs / libhandle are installed prior to the upgrade:


 # rpm -qa | grep -i xfsprogs
xfsprogs-4.15.0-lp152.12.6.1.x86_64
# 
# rpm -qa | grep -i libhandle
libhandle1-4.15.0-lp152.12.6.1.x86_64

Thus the xfsprogs version seems to be different than it tries to upgrade.

If I abort the upgrade after I get the notification about the conflict and then remove libhandle or xfsprogs and restart the upgrade (with the same command above), then the conflict is gone but the system reboots while installing systemd:


(1222/4991) Installing: aaa_base-84.87+git20180409.04c9dae-3.45.1.x86_64 .....................[done]|

(1226/4991) Installing: systemd-246.13-5.1.x86_64 .........................................<100%>-]Timeout, server

After that the system is in a boot loop. Its pretty interesting that it reboots while installing systemd. First I thought that the system disk might be full, but prior to upgrading I checked the available free space:


# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs        3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs           3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           3.9G  1.3M  3.9G   1% /run
tmpfs           3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1        64G   26G   39G  41% /

Thus it should be enough space left, so I don’t know why it is rebooting while installing systemd. But overall I don’t know if this is correlated with the conflict and how to resolve the conflict properly. Thus any help is really appreciated! Thx in advance!

What I would try:

sudo rpm -e --nodeps libhandle1
sudo zypper -v in --download-in-advance --releasever=15.3 zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm libproxy1 libmodman1 curl openSUSE-release coreutils filesystem systemd udev aaa_base
sudo zypper -v dup --releasever=15.3

Hi,
thank you for your quick reply.

I tried your commands. Your second command leads to the following message:


Problem: the installed product:openSUSE-15.2-1.x86_64 requires 'product(openSUSE) = 15.2-1', but this requirement cannot be provided
  deleted providers: openSUSE-release-15.2-lp152.575.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  do not install product:Leap-15.3-2.x86_64
  do not install product:Leap-15.3-2.x86_64
 Solution 2: deinstallation of product:openSUSE-15.2-1.x86_64
 Solution 3: break product:openSUSE-15.2-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Since the last system boot core libraries or services have been updated.
Reboot is suggested to ensure that your system benefits from these updates.

Thus I choose option 2 to remove it. After that I didn’t reboot, because I didn’t know if the system is bootable after that. Then I issued your third command which lead to the following conflicts (but I guess there are not that bad because its just some perl / git conflichts:

File conflicts happen when two packages attempt to install files with the same name but different contents. If you continue, conflicting files will be replaced losing the previous content.
Continue? [yes/no] (no): yes

It then proceeded to install everything but again rebooted while installing systemd:

Maybe I should have rebooted after the second command or should I have chosen another option instead of option 2? I can try it tomorrow if it was obviously wrong what I did.

Both perl-Git and git-core are built from the same source RPM and should have the same version. Something is seriously wrong with your repositories. Post “zypper lr -d”.

(1216/4988) Installing: systemd-246.13-5.1.x86_64 …<100%>]Timeout, server

That is not the latest availlable version. Again, something wrong with your repositories or the way you are using them.

Post full actual command you are using to upgrade.

Do you have access to the system when systemd update hangs? If yes, post full output of “ps -ef” (upload to https://susepaste.org/).

Hi,
thank you also very much for your help.

The zypper lr -u and zypper lr -d commands without --releasever=15.3 shows the URLs with 15.2 and with the option 15.3.

The second command (vim) is to change packman repo from 15.2 to 15.3. Before (after it’s the same but baseurl is 15.3 at the end):


[packman]
name=packman
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
baseurl=http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/
type=rpm-md
gpgcheck=1
keeppackages=0

After that I’ve done the command given by mrmazda:


zypper --releasever=15.3 -v in --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm libproxy1 libmodman1 curl openSUSE-release coreutils filesystem systemd udev aaa_base
....
....
....
Problem: the installed product:openSUSE-15.2-1.x86_64 requires 'product(openSUSE) = 15.2-1', but this requirement cannot be provided
  deleted providers: openSUSE-release-15.2-lp152.575.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  do not install product:Leap-15.3-2.x86_64
  do not install product:Leap-15.3-2.x86_64
 Solution 2: deinstallation of product:openSUSE-15.2-1.x86_64
 Solution 3: break product:openSUSE-15.2-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies


Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c/d/?] (c): 2
Applying solution 2
Resolving dependencies...
Resolving package dependencies...
Force resolution: No

It again leads to the same question and I again chose option 2 to remove it. After that I rebooted the system like its suggested from the system. The system boots successfully. After that the zypper lr -u and zyyper lr -d commands without --releasevers=15.3 looks like:

Then I proceeded with the upgrade:


# zypper --releasever=15.3 -v dup

But this again leads into the conflicts of perl / git I posted yesterday. And again it leads to instantly rebooting while installing systemd. Fortunately I’ve access to the system while it is applying the install and I managed to get ps -ef output right before it reboots. I just want to note, that it nearly instantly reboots when displaying the install systemd line:

I did this twice today. So I have two times the ps -ef output.
Here from the first run: https://susepaste.org/1944f285
And second run: https://susepaste.org/01caaf28

Edit: After it reboots it hang on the following screen without able to access it: https://postimg.cc/QBvSRxhqhttps://postimg.cc/QBvSRxhq

Most packages in Leap 15.3 are inherited from SLE (main or backports). You told zypper to prefer packages from the GA repository instead of updated packages. This explains outdated systemd version and may explain other conflicts.

Here from the first run: SUSE Paste
And second run: SUSE Paste

Well, not much new information; somehow systemd hangs on re-exec during upgrade. I would say, the first thing to try is to upgrade without messing with repository priorities, to get the latest systemd vesion.

I cannot access it. susepaste allows uploading images too.

What about:

zypper --releasever=15.3 -v dup --allow-vendor-change

Hi,

I don’t have a glue about the repos and why they are prioritized. I’ve changed it like suggested, but don’t know if that was the correct way (i.e. I don’t know whats the difference between oss and update-oss).

Now they are all back to default I guess. Doing a “normal” upgrade resulted in conflict against libhandle again:


zypper --releasever=15.3 dup

File conflicts happen when two packages attempt to install files with the same name but different contents. If you continue, conflicting files will be replaced losing the previous content.
Continue? [yes/no] (no): no

Thus I did the steps again:


# rpm -e --nodeps libhandle1

  do not install product:Leap-15.3-2.x86_64

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c/d/?] (c): 2

Then I rebooted and after that I checked the priorities:

They kept being 99. But honestly I don’t know why there are that much repos their now and I don’t know if I can or even should remove some of them.
Anyway I then proceeded with the “normal” upgrade:


zypper --releasever=15.3 dup

This time no conflict was repoted:

But it rebooted again while installing systemd:

This time it seems to try to install another systemd version, systemd-246.16-150300.7.45.1.x86_64 instead of systemd-246.13-5.1.x86_64
Thus the result is the same.

Didn’t notice that images are also possible on susepaste, thank you for the hint. Here is the screenshot after the newest installation: SUSE Paste

Can you provide full output of “journalctl -b” when installation hangs on systemd?

Hi Sauerland and arvidjaar,

issuing zyyper --releasever=15.3 dup --allow-vendor-change initially results in libhandle conflict again. Thus I’ve first removed libhandle1 with rpm -e --nodeps libhandle1 and then issued the dup with vendor change:

I’ll do it again with but with the following command before doing zyyper dup and then post the output again (also with new journalctl):

zypper --releasever=15.3 -v in --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm libproxy1 libmodman1 curl openSUSE-release coreutils filesystem systemd udev aaa_base

Here is a newest screenshot with kernel panic after reboot: https://susepaste.org/cc5d50e6

11

I’ve repeated the process but the end result is the same, installing systemd results in restarting the system.

So after doing the following steps:


# all repos with priority 99
zypper --releasever=15.3 ref
rpm -e --nodeps libhandle1
zypper --releasever=15.3 -v in --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm libproxy1 libmodman1 curl openSUSE-release coreutils filesystem systemd udev aaa_base
# then reboot
zypper ref
zypper --releasever=15.3 -v dup --allow-vendor-change

There were no conflicts after the last command but installing systemd resulted in reboot.

Tomorrow I can provide more journalctl if required.

It seems that systemd fails to start but logs are suppressed. Could you boot with the following additional kernel parameters:

printk.devkmsg=on plymouth.enable=0

and post screenshot again? Hopefully it will contain more information.

13

Hi

I’ve added the boot parameter: SUSE Paste

But the boot message is the same: SUSE Paste

I’m really grateful for all your efforts to solve this issue! It’s really hard and I’m totally lost without your help! So thank you all again!

14

Whenever this appears here, and unless the conflict relates directly to the package management system, I force remove the older package(s) with rpm -e --nodeps packagename, then try again, letting zypper resolve any remaining deps or conflicts.

15

Hi,

Thank you for your reply!

My following post is after resolving the first conflict and installing the packages like suggested earlier with the following commands:


zypper --releasever=15.3 ref
rpm -e --nodeps libhandle1
zypper --releasever=15.3 -v in --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm libproxy1 libmodman1 curl openSUSE-release coreutils filesystem systemd udev aaa_base
# then reboot

After the reboot the system starts successfully. When I then issue a zypper up -l then I get the git conflict again plus a plymouth conflict:

After removing the git-core too, there are no further conflicts but while installing the package I get concerning errors, which could explain why I can’t boot afterwards:

After that I can’t boot of course…

Resetting to the first state and instead of zypper up -l just installing systemd via zypper in systemd I also get the cryptsetup error:

/usr/bin/systemctl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-246.so: undefined symbol: crypt_activate_by_signed_key, version CRYPTSETUP_2.0

At least it doesn’t just boot while installing systemd which might be a progress but the end result is the same that the system can’t boot. So maybe I should include some libs? But I thought that installing systemd will take care of what it needs.

Fun fact, after installation is complete I can’t reboot properly:


# reboot
reboot: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-246.so: undefined symbol: crypt_activate_by_signed_key, version CRYPTSETUP_2.0

Thus I reboot with echo “b” > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Resetting again to the first state and just issuing the same command then before (

zypper --releasever=15.3 -v in --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm libproxy1 libmodman1 curl openSUSE-release coreutils filesystem systemd udev aaa_base

) leads to the same result of non-bootable system and cryptsetup error, but at least no conflicts: https://susepaste.org/88192019

The conclusion is, starting from the above setup using zypper up -l results in not booting with the cryptsetup error message (and others), just issuing zypper in systemd produces the cryptsetup error messages and renders a non-bootable system. And issuing zypper dup -l results in auto rebooting while installing systemd and thus not all packages are installed plus the system renders also non-bootable. And just issuing a second time the zypper in command results in the same state. I guess I did every trial-and-error possibility and I’m totally lost.

16

Am I understanding right that after issuing:

# zypper --releasever=15.3 -v in --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm libproxy1 libmodman1 curl openSUSE-release coreutils filesystem systemd udev aaa_base

your next step is to reboot? That makes no sense. The next step should be to finish the upgrade:

# zypper dup --releasever=15.3

or as I do

# zypper -v up
# zypper -v dup

(My repo URIs all include 15.3 rather than $releasever.)

17

You cannot upgrade between releases using “zypper up”, You must use zypper dup.

18

Hi,

okay, I did go back to square one. So completely from the beginning of my first snapshot without doing anything before.

Then I issued the following commands:


sed -i 's/$releasever\|15.2/15.3/' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo
sed -i '/priority\=/d' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo


zypper ref
rpm -e --nodeps libhandle1
zypper al texlive*

The sed commands set it straight to 15.3 and removed all priorities. Then I removed the libhandle1 because this always leads to the conflict. Then I locked all texlive packages in order to reduce the download and install size, because every try costs around 30 minutes.

Thats the base for the next two tries.

After the above commands I issued :


zypper -v in --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm libproxy1 libmodman1 curl openSUSE-release coreutils filesystem systemd udev aaa_base

Thats the result: https://susepaste.org/e4b9b54e

I guess the dracut messages are not that bad plus it complains about newer packages versions with other vendors.

And then directly after that (without rebooting) I issued


zypper dup -l

Thats the result: https://susepaste.org/203474d6

No error messages which sounds good, but the result is, that while installing systemd package the system rebooted instantly. I guess its not really common that the system reboots while installing the package if there are over 2000 packages left to install.

Because the first install command complained about newer packages with newer vendors I decided to do it all over again and allow vendor changes.


zypper -v in --allow-vendor-change --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm libproxy1 libmodman1 curl openSUSE-release coreutils filesystem systemd udev aaa_base

Result: https://pastebin.com/5C5V6vQF
(For any reason, susepaste always says I’m a spammer when I want to paste the output of that command, thus I had to use pastebin for that)

The dracut errors seems to be way heavier and there are undefined symbol errors with the cryptsetup error I mentioned before.

And after that without rebooting:


zypper dup -l --allow-vendor-change

Result: https://susepaste.org/ea12e144
And crash: https://susepaste.org/f3d0e8a3

The result is the same, their are cryptsetup errors and it reboots while installing systemd.

19 
/usr/bin/systemctl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-246.so: undefined symbol: crypt_activate_by_signed_key, version CRYPTSETUP_2.0

The crypt_activate_by_signed_key is provided by libcryptsetup12 in Leap 15.3, but is missing in libcryptsetup12 in Leap 15.2. Unfortunately package metadata for both libraries is identical, so nothing tells rpm/zypper it needs to update this library first.

There is probably some other reason in case of full dup, because according to your log libcryptsetup12 is installed before systemd. Still, full dup log shows

warning: /var/cache/zypp/packages/packman/Essentials/x86_64/libgstphotography-1_0-0-1.16.3-pm153.3.6.5.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 1abd1afb: NOKEY

which means you have third-party repositories and performing unrestricted “zypper dup --allow-vendor-change” in presence of third party repositories is rather unpredictable.

As the last resort I would disable all non-openSUSE repositories (except openSUSE GA and update), ensure that all packages come from openSUSE and you have the latest updates and try zypper dup again. If that works you can add other repositories and packages later. If that fails too … well, clean install is probably more simple.

20

Okay, that explanation sounds good to me, why it fails with the libcrypt. Which repos do you have in mind? The packman repo?

Because I did this:

zypper dup -l afterwards of course suffer from the same issue. Their aren’t any other repos installed like you see. Maybe I should somehow remove libcryptsetup12 manually and install the newest version before and then do the zypper in command listed above?

I also searched for any updates for 15.2, but their are non, or I have to change the mirror URL?

Nothing to do.

Unfortunately installing a clean 15.3 isn’t really an option because its a complicated legacy setup for NFSv4 and custom scripts etc. Thats why I spend that much time into it saving the setup, otherwise of course it would be easier to install a new system. Thus thank you again for all your time so far.
