Trunk Update Failing
-
You followed the second answer on that page?
The proper way is to enable UTF-8 support in your terminal.
First check your locales:
locale -a
Then, install an UTF-8 locale, for en_US, the example as follows:
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
Then you need to export it:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Then the add-apt-repository command will work okay.
If this still doesn’t still work, try using this line:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6 -
for clarity I found those commands in <fog_trunk>/lib/common/functions.sh In case you want to update your way to an answer.

@Psycholiquid So what’s the correct format? A quick google search yeilded this: http://serverfault.com/questions/666754/ppaondrej-php5-5-6-on-ubuntu
I wasn’t trying to be a smart ass when I posted that I was just copying what outputted to my screen.
I tried the URL you suggested and get the following:```

@Psycholiquid Are you behind a proxy by chance?

No sir direct connection to the internet

@Psycholiquid May CA-certs problem?? See here: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/fix-cannot-add-ppa-please-check-that.html

@Tom Elliot was able to find the issue.
Apprently the time was off.
added ntp server and updated and now everything works as intended,
-
I’m adding code to the add-apt-repository element that will: #NOTE this is specific to Ubuntu/maybe Debian
- Try installing the ppa.
a. ensure python-software-properties, software-properties-common, and ntpdate are installed.
b. update the date on the server
c. attempt adding the repository. - If it cannot install the ppa:
a. Update the repository data (apt-get update)
b. Install python-software-properties and ntpdate
c. Update the time server.
d. Ensure the en_US.UTF-8 locale is generated on the system
e. attempt adding the repository with:LANG='en_US.UTF-8' LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8' add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6
Hopefully this will prevent any more such issues and you’ll have an updated time system.
- Try installing the ppa.

I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the Trunk but I had to roll back the server (Wouldn’t image anymore TFTP seemed to be messed) but the time was correct so I am wondering if something in the Trunk changed ntp on me. The ntp.pool.org was there when I rolled back to the snapshot.
All that being said alot was messed with so it could have been anything.
-
@Psycholiquid so it worked after rollback?
-
trying it now will update
-
Yep upgrade worked like a champ. So in short all it needed on my end was the upgrade and update. But adding the code wouldn’t be a bad idea as most of us wouldn’t think it that far through. Still not sure what happened with NTP.
