ERROR: Missing local Software Update catalog

[Colin Osterhout]

Now it's my turn to see this issue during invocation of "managedsoftwareupdate --installonly" : https://groups.google.com/group/munki-dev/browse_thread/thread/3d9526e66afd6d9e

Am seeing this on two clients.  Config for munki:

colinomm:Managed Installs colino$ defaults read /Library/Preferences/ManagedInstalls

{

    AppleSoftwareUpdatesOnly = 0;

    ClientIdentifier = techops;

    DaysBetweenNotifications = 1;

    InstallAppleSoftwareUpdates = 1;

    InstalledApplePackagesChecksum = e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855;

    LastAppleSoftwareUpdateCheck = "2012-06-19 16:58:41 +0000";

    LastCheckDate = "2012-06-19 19:26:46 +0000";

    LastCheckResult = 0;

    LogFile = "/Library/Managed Installs/Logs/ManagedSoftwareUpdate.log";

    LoggingLevel = 1;

    ManagedInstallDir = "/Library/Managed Installs";

    PackageVerificationMode = hash;

    SoftwareRepoURL = "http://munki/munki";

    SoftwareUpdateServerURL = "";

    SuppressAutoInstall = 0;

    SuppressStopButtonOnInstall = 0;

    SuppressUserNotification = 0;

    UseClientCertificate = 0;

}

Updates through the normal Apple supplied tools seem to work.  I've tried the following:

- Verified permissions on directory /Library/Managed Installs/swupd/content/catalogs/ is writable by root and executable for traversing.

- Removing /Library/Managed Installs/AppleUpdates.plist, /Library/Managed Installs/swupd, /Library/Managed Installs/Cache, and rerunning the managedsoftwareupdate again

- Reinstalling Munki, rebooting, running managedsoftwareupdate again

I also see this suspicious error snippet during the running of managedsoftwareupdate:

    Caching Spanish distribution for product ID zzzz041-6245...

    follow_redirects is True

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

WARNING: Could not replicate software update metadata:

WARNING:        HTTP result 200: OK

Anyone seen this issue before other than the GP of the initial thread poster?  Other things to try?  This seems to happen coincidentally with some change to Apple Software Update Server mod_rewrite config to using a cgi-bin executable to provide the appropriate index.sucatalog.

Thanks in advance,

Hi

I believe I have the same problem.

I'm running clients with 10.7 and Munki 0.8.2.1475.0. My server is OS X 10.7.4 that host the repository. On this machine I also run my own SUS. 

As you remember apple seem to have had some issues with distributing updates a week ago, so that messed up my own SUS. I did a complete reset of it, let it download all the updates again and started using it. That's when I noticed that my Munki clients all of a sudden couldn't apply apple updates provided by my SUS.

Today I've been looking closer at the problem. If you run the managedsoftwareupdate GUI it finds all the updates, but as soon as you try to apply them it shows "finishing" in just 2 sec and closes down, not updates applied. Running terminal with -vvv shows:

ERROR: Missing local Software Update catalog at /Library/Managed Installs/swupd/content/catalogs/local_install.sucatalog

Then i pointed the build in Apple software updater to my own SUS and the updates installs just fine...

Back to Munki - seems like it's the iTunes 10.6.3 and iPhoto 9.3 updates causing this behaviour. Deactivating them in my own SUS makes all other updates install just fine.

So, I'm right now in the process of trying what the next step would be to try.

Cheers

Is this the case? Is this file missing? Or is there some other issue with the file?

If the file is there when this issue occurs and you cannot determine an issue with it, could you forward it to me?

-Greg

[Matt A]

I just cleared the Managed Installs folder on one of my clients, activated iTunes 10.6.3 in my SUS and ran Munki again.

The problem occurs.

I look in Library/Managed Installs/swupd/content/catalogs/ and the only files i see there are:

apple_index.sucatalog

filtered_index.sucatalog

So yes, the file local_install.sucatalog is not present

/Matt

Library/Managed Installs/swupd/content/catalogs/local_install.sucatalog

[Colin Osterhout]

Just tested with the latest version of Munki:

colinomm:~ colino$ sudo managedsoftwareupdate --version

0.8.3.1564

and the problem still remains.  I noticed this issue and tested out with curl to make sure I could get the catalog manually, and all seemed well.

[Colin Osterhout]

I keep bumping heads into this problem at a couple locations, each with Lion ASUS servers.  Does anyone else run ASUS on Lion and have it work swimmingly with Munki clients?  If not, what sorts of further debug information would be helpful in figuring this out?

Colin

[Colin Osterhout]

I'll have a chance here in the next 5 days to test out a couple different ASUS server types (Lion and SL) at a different location that we work with and will keep the thread posted.  This may be the kind of thing that moves me towards trying Reposado.

Same here, clean Lion install (10.7.3), Munki 0.8.2.1475, Apple SUS.

I don't use a Lion Server software update server.

I am setting one up to test, but it might be a while, and there's no guarantee that I'll be bale to replicate the issue.

So a managedsoftwareupdate -vvvv run demonstrating the issue would be helpful.

Or you all should just switch to Reposado. :-)

[A.E. van Bochoven]

To be clear, I'm running munki against swscan.apple.com. I'll get you a full log tomorrow.

That's helpful info.

[Matt A]

I will reset my internal SUS (10.7.4) one more time and see if the same problem occurs for me when iTunes 10.6.3 and iPhoto 9.3 is active

/Matt

[Greg Neagle]

...but I cannot reproduce the issue against Apple's default server(s) either:

Running 10.7.4.

# /usr/local/munki/managedsoftwareupdate -V
0.8.3.1564

I pointed Munki at Apple's software update servers.

# defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
2012-06-28 14:57:27.228 defaults[1955:303]

I removed the LastAppleSoftwareUpdateCheck date:

I removed iTunes so it would offer me the latest iTunes:

Update: I got a local Lion Server Software Update Server up and running and repeated the test(s) below successfully as well.

[Arjen van Bochoven]

I don't know what I was on yesterday, but I can't replicate the issue anymore. Couldn't find anything in the logs either. I remember seeing this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
WARNING: Could not replicate software update metadata:
WARNING: HTTP result 200: OK

But now all updates run flawlessly. Maybe it was caused by some hickup at Apple's default server(s)?

Definitely wouldn't be the first time!

[wademade]

Ok... This is what I have found. I believe the problem occurs because the file "local_install.sucatalog" is not being written in Library/ManagedInstalls/swupd/content/catalogs. Once it is there all seems to work. 

From what I can tell, at least in my situation, is that disabling the iTunes 6.3 update on my ASUS let the file write the above file, and installed without fail. I then ran Managed Software Update on two other computers without fail. I was then able to activate iTunes 6.3 and it has installed without fail on all 3 of my test machines.

The idea I have gleamed from seeing this is that in my situation I had many Apple software updates to install. Below you will find a screenshot of the list that needed to be installed.

I am wondering if there is a setting that is holding back installing all that data, and when I deactivated iTunes 6.3, it wasn't over the "so called limit" and was able to do its job writing the "local_install.sucatalog"  file in place solving this problem with the variables unique to my situation.

I am wondering if this has to do with kern.maxfiles setting not being high enough when installing many updates. Once I deactivated the iTunes 6.3 it brought the kern.maxfiles down under the highest setting allowed, let the file local_install.sucatalog be written to the client and as well transfer data correctly from the repository.

I hope this fully solves my problem and helps with anyone else having this problem. I will let everyone know if I fall into different problems or if the problem resurfaces itself.

Wade

[Colin Osterhout]

When I was getting the issue I only had 5 or so updates that were needed to be installed.  I should have more data soon since I'm onsite at a different installation and will be rebuilding the network and servers here mostly from scratch.  Thanks for the updates!

Definitely. The bigger question is why is this file not being written. Looking through the code, this file would not be written if the user clicks "Stop" in Managed Software Update's status window during an Apple Software Update check, or if the "/Library/ManagedInstalls/swupd/content/" directory doesn't exist and Munki is unable to create it.

Another error that would prevent this file from being written is any replication error that occurs while Munki is trying to cache the update metadata. This would appear as "WARNING: Could not replicate software update metadata..." in the logs (ManagedSoftwareUpdate.log and warnings.log, both by defaults in /Library/Managed Installs/Logs/).

It sounds like this latter issue is what is occurring, based on Arjen's earlier replt, so the larger issue is that Munki is not properly handling this -- it should just stop at that point and not attempt to download any updates since it wasn't able to cache the update metadata.

(The net result would be the same, though -- Munki would not download or install updates until the issue with the update server was resolved.)

Once it is there all seems to work. 

From what I can tell, at least in my situation, is that disabling the iTunes 6.3 update on my ASUS let the file write the above file, and installed without fail.

Once I deactivated the iTunes 6.3 it brought the kern.maxfiles down under the highest setting allowed, let the file local_install.sucatalog be written to the client and as well transfer data correctly from the repository.

Most likely there was a problem with the replication of the metadata for the iTunes (10.)6.3 update. By excluding that update, Munki could cache the update data for all of the other updates and proceed.

This machine isn't/wasn't running with very low available disk space, was it? That might also explain the issue...

<Screen Shot 2012-06-29 at 7.21.18 AM.png>

[Colin Osterhout]

From my notes, there was plenty of disk space, and the folder "/Library/Managed Installs/swupd/content" was writable.  And I did see the log lines:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

WARNING: Could not replicate software update metadata:

I thought that was odd since it got the 200 error code which would seem to indicate success.

[Greg Neagle]

I've now successfully replicated this issue by disconnecting the network while software update metadata replication was taking place. I've pushed a code change here: http://code.google.com/p/munki/source/detail?r=27ca3a276847 which addresses the issue.

Net result is the same: Apple software updates won't install, but the error message is something like this:

    Download error: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/49/30/041-4919/cecdjxu5afqk7q5u0ztqzy10ke1r78oaye/EPSON_DriverCommon017.pkm. Failed (7) with: Failed to connect to 208.111.144.162: No route to host

Instead of this:

-Greg

[Colin Osterhout]

Couldn't reproduce the failure here on the road with a new installation of 10.7 ASUS.  Will give another look-see along with the updated code when I get back to my office this upcoming week.  Must be something peculiar with my setup at my office.

If you look, apple changed the hosting for swscan.apple.com. Before it was hosted by apple on a single machine, but now a dns lookup will give you p01-swscan.apple.com.akadns.net instead of the old apple IP. If I remember correctly p01-swscan.apple.com.akadns.net translates to different IP's based on your location. If you do a quick dig of swscan.apple.com from Open DNS vs Googles DNS -

This explains the different results as they are different asus repositories, even though they are still apple machines. I think they made that change right about the time of the Developer Conference keynote. That was when I noticed a few ASUS servers I had setup to do some dns redirects to the local machine had broken.

Hi all

In my case with running my own SUS, i reset the SUS about 24 hours ago, I'm still stuck in the same situation, but this time only with the iTunes 10.6.3 update, the iPhoto 9.3 update downloads and installs just fine.

Same error log as before:

warnings.log:

WARNING: Could not replicate software update metadata:

WARNING: HTTP result 200: OK

errors.log:

ERROR: Missing local Software Update catalog at /Library/Managed Installs/swupd/content/catalogs/local_install.sucatalog

So, i don't know, is it the actual download of the iTunes 10.6.3 that is still corrupt somehow? I'm tempted to reset the SUS one more time to see if the iTunes update start working just like the iPhoto update did.

Guess a work around would be to package/import the iTunes 10.6.3 into Munki instead, just like any other third party update.

- Matt

[immoral]

i've had very similar issues with my ASUS. i still cannot get it to add the latest Safari update to the SUS munki is pointed at even after a rebuild of the contents. i created a new ASUS on a new OS X Lion server and that DID bring down the update. this all started after WWDC...  

[Greg Neagle]

I addressed this issue in late June -- you can download a build of the Munki tools that has the "fix" here:

http://munki.googlecode.com/files/munkitools-0.8.3.1610.0.dmg

This provides a better error message and prevents Munki from attempting to install Apple updates when it hasn't been able to cache them all for install.

But it does not address the underlying issue, which is that there are issues with Apple's software update servers and some files cannot be successfully cached. This is not a problem that can be fixed by modifying Munki; this is an Apple problem.

Reposado users have also seen updates that refuse to properly replicate from Apple's servers.

This unwelcome behavior seems to have begun around WWDC 2012.
