Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx, apache2 or another reverse proxy, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

Expected Behaviour:

I expect the update task to update Core, FTL and Web interface. I also expect it running a gravity update afterwards and restarting all services (where applicable), all of that without an error.

Actual Behaviour:

I get this error when running sudo pihole -up:

[✓] Building dependency package pihole-meta.deb
[✓] Installing Pi-hole dependency package

[i] Checking for updates...
[i] Pi-hole Core:     update available

Error: Unable to update local repository. Contact Pi-hole Support.

It seems like the .pack file is damaged. What can i do?

Maybe you can try to fix the repository.

Please try sudo pihole -r.
Does it work or fail with the same error?

Thanks for your answer. sudo pihole -r seems to run smoothly:

  [✓] Done.

  [i] The install log is located at: /etc/pihole/install.log
  [✓] Update complete!

Core version is v6.1.4 (Latest: v6.2.2)
Web version is v6.2.1 (Latest: v6.3)
FTL version is v6.3.2 (Latest: v6.3.2)

There is nothing remarkable in the install.log.

But sudo pihole -up afterwards returns

  [✓] Building dependency package pihole-meta.deb
  [✓] Installing Pi-hole dependency package

  [i] Checking for updates...
  [i] Pi-hole Core:     update available

  Error: Web Admin repo is missing from system!
  Please re-run install script from https://pi-hole.net

So do i really have to re-install?

Maybe it is a permission issue... I really don't know.

Try to nuke the web repo and clone it again:

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/web.git /var/www/html/admin

After that, run pihole -r again, just to make sure everything is correct.

Does that fix the issue?

Thank you! That did the job. All updates went well. I’ll write that down for the next time something like this happens.

Awesome! :+1:
