Updater is broken for 10.0a5 with Error: 22
We have reports that the alpha update is broken for some folks, resulting in something like
PATCH DIRECTORY /home/tb/tor-browser/Browser/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/updates/0
INSTALLATION DIRECTORY /home/tb/tor-browser/Browser
WORKING DIRECTORY /home/tb/tor-browser/Browser
failed: 22
which points to a MAR channel mismatch. dgoulet had the same problem and
indeed it turned out that his update-settings.ini
showed
ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=torbrowser-torproject-release
He had been updating the alpha for years but was still on
torbrowser-torproject-release
. After manually setting that to the
alpha channel the update works.
I wonder why the IDS never changed.
