Re: DUDE v7 server "needed packages are not available"

Tue Jun 07, 2022 8:56 pm

Hello, in MikroTik v7 DUDE still can't upgrade Devices - Dude server still shows "needed packages are not available", though packages are uploaded on DUDE server in dude path.
Somebody any solution please?

No one has described on what exactly path have put the files, and what files...

When the files are in the old location with V6 it works fine. With V7 you will get the option to upgrade but it triggers "needed packages are not available" and doesn't do anything.

To be a bit more precise; For me it is the CHR package which triggers this.

I have the same problem.
I uploaded to dude server file routeros-7.3-arm.npk but in packages is visible as system. All connected routers in v7 have in packages routeros not system. So that is impossible to make upgrade. (in version 7.2.3 and 7.3 for me now)

Same here.

I have placed the packages on my dude server in the /dude/files directory on my router that is the dude server.
They are visible in the dude via the client in the Content - Files under files All and in the packages tab.
Still get the error "needed packages are not available

The problem is now known (and known why it does so) and reported.
Hope MikroTik does something about it.

Answer from MT:

Hello

Yes, unfortunately, currently in the Dude it is not possible to upgrade devices by using v7 packages.

Best regards

——
I asked them if it will be fixed in future releases.

We will try to resolve this problem as soon as possible in the future Dude releases when we will be working on fixes and improvements regarding this service.

I thought there was no more Dude development and thus no future Dude releases?
Well, of course the answer is still correct then...

I know. I have seen the statement from Normis, but it never hurts to try.

Hi rexended,
I had a browse through the .npk package to locate the file you mentioned, where in the package should it exist? I didn't find an internal system description file.

Re: DUDE v7 server "needed packages are not available"

read twice the post: if "internal description of .npk file"
Starting offset 0x20 (114)
for example on v6 mibsbe is
>routeros-mipsbe<
and each platform have it's own string


instead on v7 REGARDLESS THE PLATFORM
>system·········<
· is padding 0x00

you can not do any, the .npk files are digitally signed, and if you alter something, routeros do not install it (if the dude recognize it or not, not mind)

I don't know if they now properly sign the entire file instead of just the content. In the past it was possible to hack .npk files by changing header fields and RouterOS would not notice it.

I have some bash script that can be used for mass upgrade.
It still need to input credential and hostname by hand, but at least it make more fast than manual upgrade.

hope it help.

I noticed as of v7 the DNS override self hosting "check for updates" server breaks too. They just hang at "calculating download size..." and never continue
If i change it back to v6 it still works fine

Really wish the DUDE was fixed for this, the DNS override was just a backup for missed routers

Is there any update on this? Can I install the Dude server on a Linux server and then point it to the Mikrotik router interfaces?

But how did you manage to install The dude onto routerOS v7? There is no dude package for v7.

Yeah, finally figure it out I have to download all-packages archive. Installation docs are a bit misleading.

Likewise still an issue.

Is there a timeline for a fix for this? Is it specific to particular packages, or is it all packages?

The Dude is no longer being developed. I don't expect the situation to change. When you want to keep using it, deploy your own scripting solution for upgrades.

So - finally we also do see this issue as we tried upgrading v7.13.x recently using the Dude.

As we now have devices that simply need ROS v7 to work - this is getting an issue as our emergency upgrade plans in case of a serious security issue with ROS is currently to go to the dude and upgrade all devices needing upgrades... The prospect of having to do this manually or using another scripting tool is not exactly what we had envisioned for emergency processes.

As it was claimed in this thread that the Dude is kind of EOL - is this confirmed by Mikrotik?

Any advice on ROS emergency upgrade procedures would be nice.

Regards, hk
