Got this on some of my Pi-computers with armbian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could remove /var/cache/apt/archives/updates.number -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 66 Nov 28 00:00 /var/cache/apt/archives/updates.number but I dont know if it will be recreated when new updates are coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scooby Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Mine is: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 nov 26 04:06 updates.number Ok, perhaps I can rename it first to see what happens! I wonder what makes this to happen? there must be a reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Igor Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 chmod -x /etc/cron.d/armbian-updates should fix this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scooby Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 I tried your suggestion Igor but it did not make any difference. However, i did not remove the file "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 nov 26 04:06 updates.number" as guidol suggested, do I have to do that first?

0 Igor Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Wait - it's a daily cron and it was not running due to wrong permission. Or run /usr/lib/armbian/apt-updates as root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scooby Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Of course, you are right Igor, the command just set the permission and nothing else. I decided to wait but I still had the same message showing up the next day. Then I tried to do a manual update and that worked like a charm. Didn't I wait long enough or do I have some trouble with the daily cron? You see, I have got the same cron message "run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/log2ram exited with return code 1" every morning now for some time but cannot recall when it started. Could it be related?

Could it be related? Possible. I'll put out one bugfix update ASAP and then we will see if this will be fixed. I need to put it out ASAP since armbianmonitor -u for sending diagnostic reports is currently n/a due to external service malfunctioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scooby Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks Igor, the update notification is now working as it should. Changing the permission solved the problem. I still getting the same cron-message “run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/log2ram exited with return code 1" every morning. Do you know the reason for this? I am running the OS from usb.
