Multiple updates of same version

Is this normal:

30/03/2016 03:32:42 - Automatically upgraded package lighttpd from to 1.4.39-1
30/03/2016 03:32:47 - Automatically upgraded package lighttpd from to 1.4.39-1
31/03/2016 01:47:27 - Automatically upgraded package lighttpd from to 1.4.39-1
31/03/2016 01:47:30 - Automatically upgraded package lighttpd from to 1.4.39-1
 
Not normal.

I'm guessing but try running fixpkg from the Diagnostics menu

I did. It finished almost instantly with no informative message. Just

>>> Beginning diagnostic fixpkg
Running: fixpkg
>>> Ending diagnostic fixpkg


in well under a second.


It's still happening on both my T2s:

01/04/2016 03:22:25 - Automatically upgraded package lighttpd from to 1.4.39-1
01/04/2016 03:22:30 - Automatically upgraded package lighttpd from to 1.4.39-1


Is it significant that the times of the supposed upgrades are identical on both machines.?

You appear to have two versions of lighttpd installed, you have both the latest 1.4.39-1 AND 1.4.37, I think your problem will go away if you can 'remove' (uninstall) the earlier version, however I would wait for confirmation of this before proceeding
 
It looks like fixpkg has been a little over zealous and needs an update. Leave it with me!

The repeats stopped for a few days but have just started again:

Ditto on second machine:

See post #6, substituting the appropriate package names for lighttpd.

There was a bug in the locking changes in webif - 1.2.8-15 that is fixed in webif - 1.2.8-16
(I got the same pair of message after the update to -15)

I don't know if that caused the problem but it is worth waiting until after the next webif update to -16 is applied to see if it is an isolated incident

It seems that fixed it.
 
The repeats stopped for a few days but have just started again:
10/04/2016 04:53:02 - Automatically upgraded package epg from 1.2.1-1 to 1.2.1-1
10/04/2016 04:53:02 - Automatically upgraded package jim from 0.76-1 to 0.76-1

That's because webif was also upgraded in that batch and that listed the new version of epg and jim as dependencies so by the time it got around to upgrading those packages, they were already up-to-date. This is not the same problem as the repeated lighttpd updates.

I have a fix to auto-update for this which I'm currently testing and it will be available soon.
