DEB-based installer bug

[marcinblazejowski]

Hi,

I believe there is a bug in DEB-based installer, which results in endless upgrade of the following packages: intel-oneapi-compiler-cpp-eclipse-cfg, intel-oneapi-compiler-dpcpp-cpp, intel-oneapi-compiler-dpcpp-eclipse-cfg.

How to replicate this bug:

1. Install current intel-basekit (with all dependencies) on Debian trixie/sid or Ubuntu bookworm/sid.
2. If installation completed, type 'sudo apt upgrade': you'll get info that above-mentioned packages should be upgraded.
3. If upgrade competed, type 'sudo apt upgrade' again: you'll get the same info as in step 2.

Hi Marcin, please share the below information with us:

- Full name of the Linux distribution on which you are installing the software

- Other versions of Intel® Parallel Studio XE or Intel® oneAPI already installed on your system

- Is the installer an online or an offline package?

- Screenshots of the error screen

- Installation Log files

The default path for a log file for a oneAPI installation is: opt/intel/oneapi/logs

The default path for a log file for a Parallel Studio XE installation is: /tmp/intel.pset.<user>.<machine>.<timestamp>.log

We would like to know.

Dear Arpan,

1. As written in original post I use two distos: Debian trixie/sid and Ubuntu bookworm/sid.
2. There is no other Intel software installed (excluding firmware binaries from Debian packages).
3. In both cases I used online installer (via APT system).
4. Screenshot attached to original post.
5. Well, although oneAPI is installed in default path, there is no '/opt/intel/oneapi/logs' at all. But installation was successful  on both machines.

Hello,

I am having the exact same problem. Could you please help me resolve this too? I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.

[marcinblazejowski]

Zeitouni,

we're still waiting for a solution, just follow this topic.

Marcin

[marcinblazejowski]

Dear Arpan,

any new related with bug reported?

Cheers,
Marcin

[ArpanB_Intel]

Marcin, we believe the issue has been addressed. Could you check if you are still facing the issue?

We would like to know.

[marcinblazejowski]

Dear Arpan,

unfortunately the issue still exists, i.e. APT tries to upgrade above-mentioned packages in version 2023.2.1-16 by "new" ones in the same 2023.2.1-16 version.

IMHO it looks like you didn't upload updated packages at server with repositories (https://apt.repos.intel.com/oneapi).

Cheers,
Marcin

[ArpanB_Intel]

Marcin, we will check back internally and get back to you with an update soon.

[marcinblazejowski]

Dear Arpan,

I look forward to hearing any news from you.

Cheers,
Marcin

[ArpanB_Intel]

Marcin, could you try using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";

APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";

We would like to know.

[marcinblazejowski]

Arpan,

it does not help.

FYI: I had to change 1 to 0 only for 'APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists', the second option had already value 1.

Cheers,
Marcin

Hello, how you are well

I am also experiencing this issue. To answer your questions above

1. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)

2. As far as I am aware,  I do not have any other intel software besides oneapi

3. installed via apt

4. no screenshots but running sudo apt upgrade yeilds the following

However, running sudo apt upgrade once again yields the same results. The updating via the 'Software Updater' tool will simply go through the motions of installing the new version but then re-prompt me to install the package once more, despite the following under the 'Technical Description' tab:

Installed version: 2023.2.1-16
Available version: 2023.2.1-16

5. Similar to the OP, my installation does not have a opt/intel/oneapi/logs directory

Additionally, trying the solutions suggested above does not change anything

Looking forward to your response

Hi!

Can you share the actual solution? I'm experiencing this still on Ubuntu 22.04.3

Thanks

[marcinblazejowski]

Hi,

there is no one, you have to wait for next oneAPI release.

Hi all,

I am also facing the same issue. After searching for a solution, I found the problem is with the apt policy. I am attaching my log here.

Moreover, same problem is happening on all ubuntu releases. I have tested on Ubuntu 22.04.3 (jammy), 23.04 (lunar) and 23.10 (mantic). So my best guess would be the problem lies with the repo itself. I might be able to test it on launchpad if I had the debian packaging source (the debian folder in the oneAPI source). But unlike the oneAPI source on github, it is not found anywhere on github.

[marcinblazejowski]

Hi,

I can confirm that new oneAPI version resolved the issue.
