[QPKG] sherpa: a mini-package-manager (CLI) beta

[OneCD]

Same here. Qnapclub repo still appears to be broken, and I can't get hold of the site admin. Oh-well.

I'm getting a strange issue with sherpa, maybe someone can help:

Code: Select all

[~] # sherpa status
proc: init ... /share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/sherpa/cache/compiled.objects: line 3935: ${#array[@]:-}: bad substitution
/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/sherpa/cache/compiled.objects: line 3391: ${#_obj_args_unknown_array_[@]:-}: bad substitution
/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/sherpa/cache/compiled.objects: line 6130: ${#_obj_qpkgs_torebuild_array_[@]:-}: bad substitution
/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/sherpa/cache/compiled.objects: line 3395: ${#_obj_args_unknown_array_[@]:-}: bad substitution
[~] # 

All sherpa commands are giving the same results.

I already tried to reinstall sherpa, but the issue remains.

I face the issue on a TS-212p

Hmm, not seeing that here.

Can you please clean your cached files and check again?

Code: Select all

sherpa clean
sherpa status

The cache is empty,I do not have anyissue on my other qnap.
Only on this model and it wasworking last time I used (december 2020).

What else I can try?

Let's check your BASH:

Code: Select all

type -a bash
bash --version

[L3rd]

Code: Select all

~] # type -a bash
bash is /opt/bin/bash
bash is /bin/bash

Code: Select all

[~] # bash --version

Hmm, that's not right - your NAS appears to be using the Entware 'bash', not the QTS 'bash'.

What's your $PATH look like?

Code: Select all

echo $PATH

Did you manually install BASH via Entware? It's not installed by-default:

Code: Select all

opkg info bash

[L3rd]

Yes I installed bash long time ago...

Code: Select all

[~] # opkg info bash
Package: bash
Version: 5.0-4
Depends: libc, libssp, librt, libpthread, libncurses, libreadline
Status: install user installed
Section: utils
Architecture: armv5-3.2
Size: 357924
Filename: bash_5.0-4_armv5-3.2.ipk
Description: Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes
 commands read from the standard input or from a file. Bash also
 incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh).
Installed-Time: 1592852807

I removed entware bash and sherpa started to work again.

Thnak you!!!

No worries. I've just updated the sherpa script to prevent those errors in BASH 5. You'll need to clean your existing installation again so the new management script will be pulled from GitHub:

Code: Select all

sherpa clean

Testing at my end indicates it works fine with BASH 5.

Hi, i did a sherpa update all, last week. I rebooted the qnap today (after 53 days of uptime ) and OWatcher3 isnt coming up. Command line as follows:

Code: Select all

~] # /etc/init.d/owatcher3.sh restart
= (OWatcher3) is not active
= (OWatcher3) is not active
* updating (OWatcher3): OK
/etc/init.d/owatcher3.sh: line 198: /opt/bin/jq: No such file or directory
! unable to start: UI service port () already in use

not sure what service port to lsof on as it's empty in the debug message.

installed jq:

Code: Select all

[~] # opkg install jq

... and OWatcher3 isnt coming up.

Watcher3 hasn't been supported by sherpa for quite some time. I removed it as an installable package, as the older Python version it requires was causing too many issues with other sherpa apps.

Suggest using Stephane's Watcher3 QPKG available in the Qnapclub repo. It has an integrated version of Python that is compatible with Watcher3.

If the Watcher3 devs eventually update their code to work on a more recent version of Python (like 3.9.0), I'll re-add Watcher3 as a supported package.
