Hello drb,

we are fixing this glitch already.

As a workaround please create the missing file:
Code: [Select]
# echo -e '#no config' > /etc/sidu-base/shellserver.conf
Maybe you also need to create the directory first with: mkdir -p /etc/sidu-base

greetings
musca

The same problem with  sidu-base 2016.04.18.2. I need to add directory and folder to get it to update.

Lacking common sense, I first ran d-u, then read this   :P


So what I did when I saw the problem:


Code: [Select]
mkdir -p /etc/sidu-base
touch /etc/sidu-base/shellserver.conf


and again


Code: [Select]
apt full-upgrade

and it completed without error.

Hi all,

I had that problem also and could make it go by the above receipt. However it appeared again.
Then I could not get rid of.
May be, by my fault, I typed
Code: [Select]
apt-get upgrade instead of
Code: [Select]
apt upgrade.
Also an
Code: [Select]
apt-get -f install does not help.

Can I just purge and reinstall sidu-base?

Thanks for any advice.

You should neither use apt upgrade nor apt-get upgrade, but apt dist-upgrade. The usage of apt or apt-get is up to you, makes no difference.

Hi,

sorry, I followed more or less the upper receipt. Now everything seems fine. Thanks!
