Cpanel/Email broken after today's update

[droona]

This morning update has broken cpanel, exim, dovecot on one of my servers creating many issues for my customers. Basically only websites are operating right now.

When I try to restart cpanel from SSH (Both WHM and Cpanel are down), I get the following:

It is necessary we restart cpsrvd, but this will kill the session displaying update progress.

It's pretty obvious Unix::PID::Tiny is missing. As the method to reload/install perl modules has changed, how do I install it now?

Hello,

I've seen this happen when the RPM database on a system is corrupted. Please try rebuilding the RPM database to see if it helps address this issue:

cd /var/lib
mv rpm{,.old}
mkdir -p rpm
rpm --initdb
cp rpm.old/Packages rpm
rpm --rebuilddb

Then, run the following command to see if any hanging RPM or upcp processes remain:

ps aux|grep rpm
ps aux|grep upcp

Kill off any hanging RPM or upcp processes with the "kill -9 $PID" command, and then run the following commands:

/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
/scripts/upcp --force

Assuming everything functions as expected after completing these steps, you can go back and remove the "/var/lib/rpm.old" directory.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks!

Thank you CpanelMichael that was the fix. You guys might want to integrate that into upcp to rebuild the RPM database in case it gets corrupted.

Thank you CpanelMichael that was the fix. You guys might want to integrate that into upcp to rebuild the RPM database in case it gets corrupted.

We've implemented a change with internal case CPANEL-5280 that will automatically correct these types of issues in a maintenance script included in /scripts/upcp. The changes stemming from this case are expected in cPanel version 58.

Thank you.
