Upgrade packages available immediately after an upgrade

[birdman]

I've just done an on-line update to 4.1.009 and having done so I'm being told that there are updates available, namely:


root@mbtwin:~# opkg list-upgradable
oe-alliance-base - 5.3-r1 - 5.3-r2
avahi-daemon - 0.6.32-r0 - 0.6.32-r1

[birdman]

And an attempt to actually do those 2 updates produces:

None of those recommended modules exists in OpenVix (presumably they are built-ion, rather than being modules), but they are only supposed to be recommendations (surely?)!

I've actually switched off the avahi daemon on my system, which might explain the stop failure, but the code should be able to handle that anyway.

Just updated my Mutant and nothing showing updates available and all working well

Maybe something to do with the oe-alliance update on May 6th (Schimmelreiter )

Make a backup and then do flash and restore.

[birdman]

A fresh flash has fixed the issue, thanks. No idea why an update from 4.1.004 should have failed.

I did have an issue along the way, though, as the reboot after the flash ended up with both the hdd and usb mounted as /media/hdd. So there was no backup to restore to get back to expectations...
I've sorted it out (at least I know what is going on and what to do about it, and it has happened on a few previous occasions), but there does some to be an issue related to the handling of boot-time hardware device discovery.
