Can't upgrade Kiwis at North Magnetic Pole [fixed, Internet access problems during update]

edited October 2022 in Problems Now Fixed

We are eager to update the SW running on the two Kiwis at VY0ERC which are located on Canada's Ellsmere Island near the North Magnetic Pole, but neither automatic nor manual operations are successful.

While the satellite Internet connection at Vy0ERC permits the Kiwis to access to most public Internet sites, the connection blocks some transfers which seem essential to the Kiwi upgrade process, so the Kiwis are stuck at V1.461

"cdp;up" produces:

=======================================

root@kiwisdr:~/Beagle_SDR_GPS# cdp;up

systemctl --full --lines=100 stop kiwid.service || true

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/jks-prv/Beagle_SDR_GPS.git/': gnutls_handshake() failed: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.

(cd extensions/ALE_2G/standalone_test; make clean)

make[1]: Entering directory '/root/Beagle_SDR_GPS/extensions/ALE_2G/standalone_test'

rm -f ./ale_2g

make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/Beagle_SDR_GPS/extensions/ALE_2G/standalone_test'

..... and many more lines.

=====================================

I have also tried to 'git clone' to the Pi at VY0ERC and copy ~/Beagle_SDR_GPS from the Pi to the Kiwi, and that copy also compiles many lines until it reports:

=====================================

That error report is soon followed by another class of errors:

I can provide ssh access to the two Kiwis if that would be helpful in addressing this problem.

Thanks,

    Always helpful. Please email details to support@kiwisdr.com

    cd /; ff glib.h should produce:

    ./usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h

    pkls libglib should produce roughly:

    root@kiwisdr # pkls libglib

    installed pkgs:

    ii libglib2.0-0:armhf       2.42.1-1+deb8u3            armhf    GLib library of C routines

    ii libglib2.0-bin         2.42.1-1+deb8u3            armhf    Programs for the GLib library

    ii libglib2.0-data        2.42.1-1               all     Common files for GLib library

    ii libglib2.0-dev         2.42.1-1+deb8u3            armhf    Development files for the GLib library


    Things like this are very, very bad. Likely indicates general filesystem corruption:

    E: Failed to fetch http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libe/libelf/libelfg0_0.8.13-5_armhf.deb Size mismatch

    See if you can do a pkup without getting any errors.
