Yup, because you also need the git-http package installed. But, you were on the right track.
I recently discovered an issue where additional Entware IPKs like git were not being installed after Entware was reinstalled due to outdated IPKs (this was a sherpa bug, not an Entware bug).
Using sherpa fix will correct this by installing missing IPK dependencies.
I had major issues with my version of SABnzbd it was throwing a missing module in the debug as below. Long story short, I ran a sherpa clean, and now I get the issue further down
Not all required Python modules are available, please check requirements.txt
Missing module: sabctools

I thought maybe I could reinstall, but I can’t figure that out now either
Yup did all that as well. the sherpa-manager.tar.gz file is 0 bytes in the folder

Just got home from a short break and tried to upgrade SAB (and SickGear) by using
sudo sherpa upgrade all.
The installation went ok, but the last step fails:
• This package action failed (and why):
activate SABnzbd QPKG in 6 seconds (not-found)
activate SickGear QPKG in 10 seconds (not-found)
Can you help me?
Edit: Hmmm…I just logged in again via SSH and I got an error-message (didn’t see it last time, but perhaps I overlooked it):
Could not chdir to home directory /share/homes/Andy: no such file or directory
Perhaps this is related?
Kinda. I (nearly) always suggest a fix as the first-step, as it resolves several issues that can occur without me needing to double-up on repair code. But, we should need it less-and-less over time as I add code to prevent these issues occurring in the first place.
Next time something like this happens I’ll use fix.
Thanks for your quick solution.
Different question: I’m using Sherpa for years now and really appreciate your kind help with problems and the time you invest in maintaining Sherpa. Do you accept donations as an appreciation for the work you are doing?
