XOA Updater fails

[andibing]

I'm seeing this on XOA:

xoa@xoa:~$ sudo xoa-updater --upgrade
✖ { message: 'missing string at offset 151' }
xoa@xoa:~$

Unless the sun has got to me, I don't seen any other references to this error. And Gemini was confused too!

Any thoughts?

Can you please run “df -h” to start? If either / or /tmp/xoa-updater are low on space please increase disk space or run a clean up. The disk space on the VM and/or the SR may be too low, for the update to succeed.

The XOA update metadata cache may have become corrupted and need to be cleared, before re-attempting the update. Checking the logs will help to determine if that’s the case.

Just for completeness... it kept doing this after all the typical diagnosis steps. So never found a solution Definitely wasn't cache or disc space related.

In the end I built the XOA from source on the same VM and that worked fine.
Although subsequent to that I've moved XOA to the containerised version thus saving an extra VM!.
