SSL problem after latest updates

Asked by Michi Henning

I just applied the latest patches that were offered by software update, which told me to reboot after installing them.

Now that I've rebooted, bzr no longer works for me:

$ bzr pull
Using saved parent location: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/unity-scopes-api/devel/
Permission denied (publickey).
ConnectionReset reading response for 'BzrDir.open_2.1', retrying
Permission denied (publickey).
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

I suspect that the latest updates are responsible because, immediately prior to the update, everything was working just fine. Looking at apt's history.log, the following were included in the updates:

libssl1.0.0:amd64 (1.0.1f-1ubuntu2, 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.1)
libssl-dev:amd64 (1.0.1f-1ubuntu2, 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.1)
openssl:amd64 (1.0.1f-1ubuntu2, 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.1)

Does anyone have a suggestion for how best to recover?

Very strange. After yet another reboot, everything works again. I didn't touch anything, just rebooted a second time.

Magic! :-(

Most likely a transient launchpad failure ?

Possibly. I didn't have second machine around to try with. Anyway, it's been working fine all day now since the last reboot.

I *swear* I didn't touch anything, and simply rebooted a second time. I *hate* it when stuff like this happens. Bugs that fix themselves without explanation are the worst kind…

Right, if the issue was launchpad side, obviously nothing has to happen locally to fix it. Also, bzr never requires a reboot after an upgrade, so something else in your update triggered that.

Confirming that the issue was lp side after experimenting it myself with bzr 2.6.0 (so, not concerned by the upgrade mentioned in the original question ;)

From the ops-who-know dept: we took an LP frontend down for RAM upgrade. It was out of DNS, but some clients persist DNS longer than others.

OK, thanks for that! So, it was just coincidence that it happened after the upgrade. I was misled into thinking that the upgrade was responsible because it updated SSL, and the error was SSL related.

Anyway, it's all good now. And thanks for checking!
