cPanelPerl.pm corrupted?

[Lentsu]

Everytime I try to use /scripts/upcp, I get an error.

Fetching CPAN mirrors...
bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: No such file or directory
Input file = /root/.cpcpan/MIRRORED.BY.bz2, output file = /root/.cpcpan/MIRRORED.BY

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

bzip2: Deleting output file /root/.cpcpan/MIRRORED.BY, if it exists.
Cannot fetch mirror list at /scripts/cPanelPerl.pm line 118, <Socket_Handle> line 77.

I've copyed new MIRRORED.BY.bz2 from updates.cpanel.net. It didn't help.

Does somebody know how to fix this?

I'm going to log this bug in bugzilla if it's not already in there.

As a workaround, you can do the following:

rm -Rf /root/.cpcpan/*
cd /root/.cpcpan
wget updates.cpanel.net/pub/cpanmirror/MIRRORED.BY.bz2
bunzip2 MIRRORED.BY.bz2
chattr +i MIRRORED.BY
/scripts/perlinstaller

When cPanel has fixed the bug, remove the immutable flag:

chattr -i /root/.cpcpan/MIRRORED.BY

Hi,

Chirpy pretty much answered everything I was going to. However, if you're running on a Virtuozzo VPS (like myself) you can't do chattr +i on the MIRRORED.BY file. You can however touch it so that the /scripts/cPanelPerl.pm script won't update it because the file is still new enough to not need updating. That is what I did to resolve the problem.

Good luck!

Hi Hal,

I quite liked your solution Hopefully cPanel will get this fixed quickly to make it unnecessary for the workarounds.

Billy has just fixed this in EDGE.

Billy has just fixed this in EDGE.

I cant take credit for this one, I just advised everyone it was fixed, but yes, it is confirmed as fixed now.
