Redis - Package Upgrade Issues

L1 Bithead

I've been trying to upgrade my Ubuntu instance for the past few months, but keep having to install all package updates manually as redis-server and redis-tools fail as it can't overwrite the minemeld redis config. After updating the packages, we are unable to login to minemeld as nginx throws a 502 error. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, were you able to fix it?

 

minemeld@na-mm-01:~$ sudo apt list --upgradeable

May not answer the question as I haven't been able to use the apt commands to clean or force.

I am now replying on /usr/sbin/minemeld-auto-update to update it all and ensure there aren't version conflict.

Have you tried downloading the package manually and doing a force install ?

 

force installation of package:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all redis-server_3.0.6-1ubuntu0.4_amd64.deb

then resume with:

sudo apt-get install -f

I have, but the redis still breaks as it can't overwrite the redis config. Did that work for you?

 

 

Replace --force-all   with --force-overwrite

 

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite redis-server_3.0.6-1ubuntu0.4_amd64.deb

 

I will try to recreate on my server

 

 

dpkg -i --force-overwrite redis-server_3.0.6-1ubuntu0.4_amd64.deb
