SatNOGS uhd-host just won't install (however I try) - "File has unexpected size (9437356 != 9437308). Mirror sync in progress?"

I’m doing a Raspberry Pi 64bit install (aarch64) and I’m now down to this one issue failing (and hence the following shows me doing this manually vs. via ansible scripts). The key error is that a simple install of uhd-host deep inside the larger installs is throwing this error:

     File has unexpected size (9437356 != 9437308). Mirror sync in progress?

The full output is below. I’ve done sudo apt clean and sudo apt update a few times, I’ve tried a few other “cleanup” things. Zero success. :frowning:

This is …

$ cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian
...
$

I’m tempted to remove this package from the ansible script as I’m not running with that hardware; however, that could lead to other issue - maybe.

Advice is needed. Is this a temporary thing (as some searches suggest)? I’ve waited a few hours and tried it again, all with the same error messages.

TIA.

Yes, this is a reoccurring issue with the OBS repos, time usually fixes it but can take some time.
You can also build the package yourself, but this one takes quite a bit of time and does need a few dependencies. If you’re up for the challenge, here’s a excerpt from my own build script from my docker development.
Iirc it takes about one hour on a rpi4.

dget -q -u https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/librespace:/satnogs/Debian_11/uhd_3.15.0.0-4+b1satnogs1.dsc
cd uhd-3.15.0.0
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noautodbgsym dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc --build=binary
cd ..
ls -l libuhd*.deb uhd*.deb

Install the required packages with sudo dpkg -i xxxx.deb, I think uhd-host and libuhd3.15.0 should suffice.

@SA2KNG - thank you! I will try again in a bit. I got a working setup running and I’m testing presently.
