Upgrade issue

Submitted by AskewDread on Tue, 07/30/2019 - 14:46 Pro Licensee

Morning,

since the second to last Webmin upgrade the upgrades (via yum) hasn't been completing correctly and has just been sitting there forever

when im looking at a ps i see the following process, and killing this process does allow the yum command to finally finish....

/usr/bin/perl /usr/libexec/webmin/run-postinstalls.pl virtual-server

how do we work out what is causing this not to complete correctly?

running this command manually also just sits and sits

WEBMIN_CONFIG=/etc/webmin WEBMIN_VAR=/var/webmin /usr/libexec/webmin/run-postinstalls.pl virtual-server

Status: 
Active

hi,

we are still having this issue with the latest version.... it just sits updating forever....

webmin-1.930-1.noarch.rpm | 22 MB 00:00:23 Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded Running transaction Updating : webmin-1.930-1.noarch 1/2

all other package updates work without issue, and its still getting stuck on the run-postinstalls.pl script

hmm after leaving it for 2 hours it finally completed, it seems odd it would take so long?

Yeah that is a bit unusual, though it could be a sign that the system is low on resources.

What is the output of these commands:

uptime
free -m
vmstat 1 10

Hmm, yeah nothing really stands out there, that looks fairy normal.

Jamie will have a better idea of what's going on there, I'll ping him to see if he can take a peek at this.

Did you happen to run pstree -l -p during the upgrade to see what commands were being run?

Also, do you have a lot of Virtualmin domains on this system?

Yeah, I'd be interested to see that pstree output.
