Errors when google-cloud-sdk tries to update.

[Jason Johnson]

I have a fairly base Debian Jessie install. All I've done with their image is install some stuff to run a web server such as Nginx, MySQL, PHP, PHPMyAdmin, etc.

However, when I run the apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade commands, I start running into errors:

Setting up google-cloud-sdk (149.0.0-0) ... Killed dpkg: error processing package google-cloud-sdk (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 137 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So I've tried restarting the server and trying again and I get this:

Setting up google-cloud-sdk (150.0.0-0) ... WARNING: updated help index at /usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/.install/help_text/table.json

Any ideas what I can do? I don't even know what google-cloud-sdk does, it was pre-installed with the image. Is this a serious problem? I'm kind of a newbie to Google Cloud Platform but I've been running a VPS at DigitalOcean for a couple years without any issues.

Hello Jason,

Cloud SDK is set of command line tools to manage Google Cloud Platform resources. It comes pre-installed on Google Compute Engine images. The last message you have received is a warning and not an error, as such, no further action is required. You can find more information on Cloud SDK through this link[1].

I hope that helps.

Hi Jason,

As a follow-up, I was getting the same errors on my micro-machine (as Apache2 webserver) with 0.6 GB RAM, but not on other, bigger machines. 

Since CPU should not be the issue here, I killed my Apache Server - which was the main service on my machine and the next time it ran through. 

Maybe you'll need to kill one of your biggest service regarding RAM usage, which was apache for me. 

For production environments, you shouldn't use micro's in general, according to Google, so, killing services should not be the issue.

Hope that helps, as it did for me.

Regards,

Kay

Another approach I did was to create the instance as a small version, and after installation edit it again to the micro-machine instance.

I think it should be ok if you use nginx and a firewall such as cloudflare.
