  • different behavior of several (hopefully) equal installed jails

    Hi,

    I am running halve a dozen jails on one freebsd host The jails were created and are managed with iocage. Both the host system and the jails were installed with a version from the FreeBSD 13 line and upgraded and updated since then. Actually they all run FreeBSD 14.3p12.

    Since a longer time (I can not remember either the exact point of time or the exact FreeBSD version and the patch level) I notice the folloing described behavior:
    * I run "pkg update && pkg upgrade && pkg autoremove && pkg clean" across all jails
    * for some packages which are installed in more than one jail the packages is not updated in all jails
    * if I run the pkg-cmd-line again after some days the package will be updated in some more jails (somethimes in all affected jails)

    Is that a expectable behavior? If not - what can I do to determine the reason for the observed behavior?

    Best regards
    Ulf

    OK, that problem was easy to solve and unfortunately not correct described - I used different Repository Branches in the affected jails.
    Sorry for the noise
