wrong armbian firmware checksum during upgrade

The last upgrade off armbian on my Bananapi M1 went wrong and end with a checksum error:

 

# apt upgrade

I have retry multiple times but it always end with the same error the size of the downloaded file is always the same, so I guess there is something wrong with the file on the server

Yes, this is temporally problem that shows up here and there or you simply forget to run apt update before?

 

We are having difficulties with maintaining our infrastructure (not enough people and other resources) which needs several improvements ...

Long time no see @Igor

I am running :
- rock5b 
- Armbian_24.11.3_Rock-5b_bookworm_current_6.12.9_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop.img.xz0

- Linux rock-02 6.12.9-current-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan  9 12:33:55 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

 

I can confirm that these do not resolve the issue:
 

armbian-upgrade 
sudo apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true -o Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order::=gz -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=true -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true -o Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth=0 update

one of the failing packages sha sum, in case we print sums on the armbian CI to try and see if CI pushed wrong package.

Hey!

When those three jobs finishes:
https://github.com/armbian/os/actions/runs/13238582459
https://github.com/armbian/os/actions/runs/13240767648

https://github.com/armbian/armbian.github.io/actions/workflows/generate-redirector-config.yml

it should be O.K.

Fundamental problem is that at this moment, repo and index is not in sync. Why that happened ... is another story, it should not happen.

 

First job checks and updates if there is something to pull to stable repository. It pushes to 1st class repo
Second job is optional in this case.
Third job checks all mirrors and only serve the ones where index and files are in sync.

Problem is that those jobs takes hours ... and in the mean time, repo is broken.
