Hi Peter and all,

There is an error in the update.sh script.

There is a removal line for old libraries from xz

/usr/lib/liblzma.so.5.4*

but this line is removing both the old (5.4.4) and the new (5.4.5) libraries.

This is causing at least alsa to fail to work but also any other packages dependent on xz libraries.

I think the line neds to be

/usr/lib/liblzma.so.5.4.4

Regards,
Adolf.

Hi All,

I have also found a problem with addons still linked to an old dbus library.

I supplied an updated dbus addon patch but missed needing to ship the following addons that depend on dbus:-

avahi
cups
ghostscript
netatalk

I will submit patches for bumping the versions of these addons to ensure they ship.

Sorry for that problem.

Regards,

Adolf.

Thank you, I will merge those as soon as possible.

No need to be sorry, that is why we do this testing thing :)

ghostscript won't need to be bumped because it was bumped in 182 due to a version update.

Adolf.

Hi All,

After doing the reboot on my virtualbox vm's with CU182 all the nic 
interfaces disappeared.

I tried repeating the cloning of working CU181 system and upgrading to 
CU182 and the same happened.

I have raised a bug on this

https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13466

Another user on the forum has reported a similar result on their proxmox 
system with virtio drivers. They also tried changing to the intel 
drivers but had the same result.

Regards,
Adolf.

Core Update 182 (testing) report

[Peter Müller]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1613 bytes --]

Hello *,

better late than never, some testing feedback on Core Update 182: Having
upgraded to "master/7270984c", all IPFire features tested (complete list
below) work fine. This particularly applied to Squid 6.6, which was
occasionally crashing with the following message before (version 6.5):

> 2023/12/20 13:41:36 kid1| FATAL: assertion failed: peer_digest.cc:399: "fetch->pd && receivedData.data"

This problem did not occur on any IPFire installations running Core Update
181, and the combination of Squid 6.6 and potentially having shipped changed
libgcc_s.so.1 appears to have resolved whatever the underlying root cause
was.

During the upgrade, I noticed the following warning emitted by dracut:

> dracut: Skipping program /bin/loginctl using in udev rule 71-seat.rules as it cannot be found

It does not appear to have a functional impact on Core Update 182 though.

Tested IPFire functionalities in detail:
- PPPoE dial-up via a DSL connection
- IPsec (N2N connections only)
- Squid (authentication enabled, using an upstream proxy)
- OpenVPN (RW connections only)
- IPS/Suricata (with Emerging Threats community ruleset enabled)
- Guardian
- Quality of Service
- DNS (using DNS over TLS and strict QNAME minimization)
- Dynamic DNS
- Tor (relay mode)

I am looking forward to the release of this Core Update. My apologies for
the library deletion and ALSA firmware quirks initially introduced by me
in Core Update 182, and thanks to Arne for fixing both.

Merry Christmas, if you celebrate. Enjoy the holiday, if not.

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
