Unknown (maildrop) error

I posted it up just last evening, so searches were probably run before that. I had to piece that solution together from some idea that the update broke "something", after trying all of the suggestions to fix permissions, etc which of course didn't work.

Best course of action when you can't make an upgrade work is to rollback, so that's all that really does. Note that I got the old version info from /var/log/aptitude which should give you a changelog old ==> new. From there I just plugged the version number above with the maildrop={version} and let 'er rip.

Pointing out my troubleshooting steps so it can help everyone fix other issues that can crop up from bad updates in the future.

 

Moose you da man! Thank you very much!!

 

Hi I think the "aptitude hold maildrop" did not work as I had to downgrade and flush again this morning. ISPconfig 3 must be doing something else to auto upgrade the packages at night.

How can I check the ISPCONFIG update process?

 

I just noticed that my update manager has maildrop listed again. Looking for a solution, since I know I will update without looking and get the maildrop(I know I shouldn't do this without looking, but when busy I forget).

 

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and the the maildrop is Version 2.0.4-3+lenny3build0.9.04.1

 

Not yet, been trying to find how to remove maildrop from the update manager gui lol

 

Hi,

I just set up my own root cron job at 8am before normal business hours to downgrade and flush

to answer Till's question:
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 kernel: 2.6.28-17-server #58-Ubuntu

and aptitude log shows:

[DOWNGRADE] maildrop 2.0.4-3+lenny3build0.9.04.1 -> 2.0.4-3

Therefore maildrop 2.0.4-3+lenny3build0.9.04.1 seems to be the offending package.

For mine, I added sudo echo “maildrop hold” | dpkg --set-selections
this plus the hold has made it so it cant be updated and ISPconfig sees it as 1 not to be updated.

 

Yeah, I meant to say that when you go to the show update state in the admin console, it shows that under not upgraded. I just like keeping the status in the green.

 

Disregard...didn't see the rest of the thread

 

Ok I thought this was working but it's still changing to the one that doesn't work.
Everyday i have to run the aptitude command and postfix flush.
Seems to just keep updating to the crappy maildrop lenny

HELP

 

Ok never mind. I have updated to 9.10 using do-release-upgrade

 

After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 the authentication error is gone.
Thx Till for pointing at this.

 

Hi,

I'm still having to go in and downgrade daily. I can't find a cron job that is upgrading the maildrop, I've set the maildrop package to to hold and I also set: “maildrop hold” | dpkg --set-selections, but it keeps getting downloaded every night. apt-cron is not installed and I can't identify any cron jobs besides ispconfigs daily php jobs that may running the update.

I would like to upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 to clear the issue, what is the standard process, and what do I risk breaking with ispconfig.

Did anyone have any problems upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10?

Thanks,

Hi there,
I did an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, nothing broke except for the http Own Error docs.
Apache says:

The requested URL /xyxyxy was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Don't know what causes this, busy investigating

 

Sorry, I wasn't looking properly for this fix.

Otherwise everything else is working and so is maildrop.
Fully upgraded

Regards
