apt-get dist-upgrade uninstalled jenkins in turnkeylinux-jenkins VM?
Hi Guys,
I noticed today that my continuous integration server was down and upon investigation why, it turned out that jenkins was not even installed anymore!
In the apt log, I found this:
Start-Date: 2014-04-25 05:59:47

So it seems that apt-get dist-upgrade ran silently last night and removed jenkins and related packages. This is on a turnkey debian 7 jenkins VM, installed through proxmox.
I have reinstalled jenkins with apt-get and everything is back up, but if someone can help me understand why this happend I would appreciate it. Seems strange that dist-upgrade uninstalls jenkins on a VM specifically configured to run jenkins.
If I need to investigate further or share more log files, let me know.

Hmmm... That's not good!!
Reply 1thanks for confirming.
Reply 2Thanks for investigating, I'll check whether it happens again tonight and keep an eye on the issue on GitHub.
Thanks Alon
Reply 3Thanks Alon, great work.
12.x requires a different workaround
Reply 4The workaround for 12.x is different to 13.0 - backports not needed.
No doubt you've seen it already...
Reply 5But Alon has posted a workaround on the TKL issue tracker. It seems that it doesn't quite apply to TKL v12.x though. To workaround the issue on v12.x series you'll also need to add the 'backports' repo. Some relevant links here. If any one is having issues, post here (or on GitHub) and I can help out.
I just did a quick test install and when applying the security updates, you are right... It uninstalls Jenkins! I'm not sure what is going on but I will get Alon and/or Liraz on the job ASAP... Thanks for posting.
FWIW I have also lodged a bug on the TKL Issue Tracker.
It looks to me like the auto security updates are the culprit although I'm not sure why. My assumption is that there is something that is being upgraded that conflicts with Jenkins (or probably more likely one of it's dependencies) which is causing the uninstall. TBH I anticipate that it will uninstall Jenkins again tonight (when the security updates install again). I suspect that you may need to disable the auto security updates as a temporary workaround while we sort this out...
