Hi StrK,

It looks like some of git’s objects became corrupted. This most often happens if an action is interrupted mid-write eg a power failure.

Here’s a Stackoverflow question that seems quite relevant:

Basically the answer is to delete the loose objects, and they should be recreated with the next pull.

cd /home/pi/mycroft-core/
rm -f .git/objects/d8/460345cbf60cb55b36d792e34c0296e9596f94

Then to check if there are other corrupted objects:

git fsck --full

Once you get the all clear from fsck I’d reboot the Picroft which will attempt an update and make sure you aren’t getting the same messages.

sill the same, but its the progress:

after logging:

remote: Enumerating objects: 233, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (233/233), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (28/28), done.

Receiving objects: 100% (295/295), 67.08 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 99% (214/216), completed with 61 local objects.
fatal: pack has 2 unresolved deltas
fatal: index-pack failed

Too bad i dont know what pack is a failed state, how to detect that ? and how to proceed ?

Okay, maybe not clean solution but worked in that case:

I moved whole mycroft-core dir to ~/mycroft-core-temp

I rebuild whole mycroft-core dir in my home dir:

  • cd ~/
  • git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git
  • cd mycroft-core

and copied missing content from *temp to rebuilded dir:

dirs:
.venv
mimic

then:
mycroft-stop
sudo rm -rf /opt/mycroft/.skills-repo
msm update

and finally, check sd card corruption (yes there was)
sudo touch /forcefsck
sudo reboot

Ah card corruption makes sense.

Thanks for the update, it always helps future people looking through the Forums with a similar issue.
