Title: [solved] Automatic upgrade tool stuck in loop
Post by: TRon on May 03, 2022, 06:04:01 PM
As of today the Sparky automatic update tool seems to get stuck on updating.

It informs me that it want to 'upgrade' about 65 mb, which I accept. It 'updates', showing the embedded terminal window, but returns almost immediately to the update requester again, repeating the proces in an endless loop.

When I look at the changelog, the Sparky upgrade tool informs me that it wants to downgrade virtualbox.

How to deal with this situation ?

Running Nibiru.

TIA,

Finish the upgrade in a terminal emulator:
sparky-upgrade
