Unable to install pihole

Help
1

I have pihole installed before. when the FTL api came out, I used the bash script to update pihole. and got this error

ERROR - Unable to update package cache. Please try "test_dpkg_lock; apt-get update"unable to complete update, contact Pi-hole

I manage to solve the issue by running the bash script as su. However pihole FTL api would not load. I uninstalled pihole and decide to reinstall again using the script and got the same error message as the first time.

Running (as root)

test_dpkg_lock ; apt-get update

gives me

sudo: test_dpkg_lock: command not found
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

Try below and install again:

sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get ugrade
sudo reboot
3

Same thing here.

I have tried these steps but did not work.

4

All steps were run successfull without errors ?

5

Can you try curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x and get us the last portion of the on screen display right before the error message is displayed and the script halts?

@deHakkelaar yes without errors.

@DanSchaper here is the output

    !!! ERROR - Unable to update package cache. Please try "test_dpkg_lock; apt-get update"+ return 1

by the way, my OS is ubuntu 16.04 LTS just for your information.

ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

That test_dpkg_lock is a helper function we wrote to catch some of the potential situation where the apt cache was locked when installing. But a sudo apt update and then a second run of the installer has always solved any latent issues. This is the first time that it's failed multiple times in a row. Will need to further review the update process. Can you post the output from sudo apt update?

And check pinned packages that might block something:

$ sudo apt-cache policy

If any of those repositories are offline or not responding, then the apt process will exit with a code that tells is not to continue. This is where the screencap of the sudo apt update will help as it will show the responses from each of those repositories and if any of them are not available at this time.

@DanSchaper here is what happened.

last night I have tried to update pihole.
I tried enter pihole -up command it showed _ERROR - Unable to update package cache. Please try "test_dpkg_lock; apt-get update"unable to complete update, contact Pi-hole.

then i have run sudo apt-get update and pihole -up it worked with some warnings.

When I had problem with FTL I tired to repair the installation by pihole -r it showed me test_dpkg_lock error again.

Then I decided to uninstall and install it again.

now I have to live without pihole :frowning:

So sounds like Ubuntu got troubles.
Can you set other mirror ?

grep us.archive.ubuntu.com /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

15

Every line that starts with Err on that list is a repository that will not update and will cause the installer to fail.

Before you can install the Pi-hole you would need to resolve the errors with the apt sources and bad repositories that are listed until you get a clean and successful update.

What is the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list ?

17

yes. I have disabled all the sources and installed pihole again.

I have another problems now.

  1. There was not any installation successful screen to show temp password or other info
  2. I had to start lighttpd
  3. http://192.168.1.30/admin/ is showing 403 Forbidden access
  4. there no pihole command

sudo: pihole: command not found

18

The install did not complete successfully. There should be more information after the php5-cgi line. The call to install the additional packages failed.

Try again the verbose install and we'll see what error is now happening. curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x

19

I have quite some packages that are install from repositories that are no longer functioning. Is there a way to install pihole without removing those repos?

20

Because we need to have the latest packaged versions of the daemons and servers we need to be able to run a clean apt update process. You can try commenting out those repositories temporarily while you are installing the Pi-hole and then reinstate them after the installation, but it's not really necessary to keep non-functioning repositories on your lists, they will only cause errors when you try to run any apt commands.
