Solved Error updating from 16.0.5.619 to 16.0.5.622

[spaan]

I'm trying to update from 16.0.5.619 to version 16.0.5.622, but it fails with the following message:

----
Reading package lists...
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
---

Does anyone know how to fix this issue so i can update?

I'm using the Debian ISO image.

That's usually when another APT process is running. Perhaps a crashed update.

Have you tried rebooting the system and attempting the update again?

Hi @spaan,

Following up, are you still receiving this issue? Did you follow @Frederick Marcoux's advice and reboot then try again?

Hi @Frederick Marcoux & @VasilisV_3CX

I have just rebooted the system and it somewhat helped.
The error changed.

Now i have the following error:

But still can't update.

You will need 2 things here the first is to overcome the issue above and the next will be needed from sp6 to sp7.

For the salt stack repo issue, use this command:

wget -O - https://downloads.3cx.com/downloads/misc/debianpatches/9/16/0/5/20200619-os-update.sh | bash

Then try the update again, then once you update and need to go from sp 6 to sp7 use the following commands one line at a time:

apt update

wget http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openexr/libopenexr22_2.2.0-11+deb9u4_amd64.deb

apt install libilmbase12

apt install ./libopenexr22_2.2.0-11+deb9u4_amd64.deb

apt install libfreeimage3

apt install 3cxpbx=16.0.7.1078

Once updated to sp7 update to sp8 as normal.

We had to do this last week on a customer's system too. It does work if it's done properly.

Should i just try to run the rest of the commands?

 

[spaan]

Never mind. Just run the apt update from the commandline and it provided the fix. Now trying to update further. I will report the result or any other errors.

 

[spaan]

Now running version 18.0.237.
So after some initial hickups everything updated from the GUI.

Thanks for the help!

You are welcome, glad this is now updated.
