Re: [SOLVED] Anacron symlinked to "true", again.

New live isos with new repo key and new refractainstaller with anacron fix are uploaded.

Thanks! But FYI you have one more expired key to renew. ;-D

I fixed that a long time ago. You need to run

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com  --refresh-keys

gpg --list-keys 094c5620

Re: [SOLVED] Anacron symlinked to "true", again.

Oh right, my bad. Thanks! I wrote the image to my rescue USB already. BTW the torrent doesn't seem to have 4.0.1. Although there's a 4.1 (pool1) version which I don't know what it is. :-) But I'm getting off-topic.

I haven't tested the new installer yet, should I mark the topic SOLVED or wait for whenever I test it?

EDIT: I'll just mark it as SOLVED since we have workaround that I know work anyhow.

Re: [SOLVED] Anacron symlinked to "true", again.

Nah, don't mark it as solved yet. I screwed up again. The diversion of anacron gets removed in the live session AFTER the system gets copied to hard disk. It needs to happen in a chroot. The good news is that it'll do the right thing if you run the installer twice without rebooting the iso.

If someone wants to change it in place, go to line 2043 in /usr/bin/refractainstaller-yad or line  1893 in /usr/bin/refractainstaller and change this

 # Remove diversion of anacron
if [ -e /usr/sbin/anacron.orig.anacron ] ; then
         rm -f /usr/sbin/anacron
         dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/sbin/anacron
fi

to this

 # Remove diversion of anacron
if [ -e /target/usr/sbin/anacron.orig.anacron ] ; then
         rm -f /target/usr/sbin/anacron
         chroot /target dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/sbin/anacron
fi

Really sorry about that. I think I need a vacation.

Re: [SOLVED] Anacron symlinked to "true", again.

refractainstaller base & gui 9.6.3 are built and will migrate down through the repos. I'll rebuild isos this weekend.

They're also here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files/tools/
(for anyone who can't wait or those who are not using devuan)

Re: [SOLVED] Anacron symlinked to "true", again.

One more time...

Newer chimaera live isos (4.0.2) are uploaded. I'm sure I tested the installer this time and it works.
(note: torrent and magent link haven't been updated yet at this time Sep 10, 16:36 UTC.)

Re: [SOLVED] Anacron symlinked to "true", again.

Correction: I tested the things I fixed and they are fixed.

There's an extra closing parenthesis on line 957 of the refractainstaller-yad. It can be fatal.

Solution: If you use the graphical installer, don't select a swap partition. Let the installer make a swapfile instead. Otherwise, use the cli installer. Run sudo refractainstaller in a terminal.

I'm not going to make new isos immediately. I don't want to go through replacing the torrent again so soon.

I did rebuild the refractainstaller-gui package. 9.6.4 is coming down the line and will work with refractainstaller-base_9.6.3.
