Additional Information (if applicable):

• Software title | Mosquitto
• Was the software title installed freshly or updated/migrated? Installed Freshly
• Can this issue be replicated on a fresh installation of DietPi? Yes
• dietpi-bugreport f08067cc-5550-4254-968d-09db2bbf6111

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to dietpi-software
2. Then choose Software Optimized
3. Mark Mosquitto (123)
4. Choose Install

Mosquito has to be installed, its executable must be in some place. Based on init.d script, must be at: /usr/sbin/mosquitto

Actual behaviour:

Executable can't be founded anywhere

@lupa18
Thank you very much for your report. I will review your bug report and try to replicate on x86_64 VM.

€: Just checked bug report:

• Sadly no /var/log/apt/term.log available any more and /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-software_apt.log shows just mosquitto package being uninstalled. @lupa18 Did you manually remove mosquitto again? Otherwise might apt-get -f install can't find all needed dependencies and remove the package again automatically? Test outstanding, need to be at home to run tests on VM.

Confirmed ARMv8 issue:

Errors were encountered while processing:

Our current binaries mosquitto_1.4.14 are still a higher version than stretch:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/mosquitto

G_AGI libuuid1:armhf libc6:armhf libwrap0:armhf libssl1.0.0:armhf

libssl1 not in debian repo, pulled from our server

@Fourdee
Okay, hmm maybe we can find out which package is missing on ARMv8. Maybe some update of our deb package helps. v1.5 is available.

€: Jep and I bet that stretch repo will not receive any non critical package updates. The ones on buster are 1.4.15 but could have dependency issues on Stretch.

€€: Ah if it's just libssl1.0.0 then at least easy to fix with dietpi-software.

Notes:

• Default compile missing services and /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf.
• init.d used previously, lets make a systemD version /usr/sbin/mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
• no process created, no info... | 1529937553: Error: Invalid user 'mosquitto'.

root@DietPi:~# /usr/local/sbin/mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf -v

Custom debian repo lacks ARMv8
http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/

@Fourdee

Custom debian repo lacks ARMv8

Might be the reason why we added armhf arch to arm64 devices within current install script?

[Fourdee]

Ok:

• All devices will use official Debian repo install (1.4 currently)
• If we get complaints for this change (eg: I need 1.5 for features), we'll re-investigate post-v6.10 for ARMv7 and AMD64 using http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/ (1.5)

---

Another 'naughty?' option, 1.5 on all devices, source build over the top, ensuring services and conf exist:

• G_AGI mosquitto

G_AGI build-essential libc-ares-dev uuid-dev libssl-dev
wget https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto/archive/v1.5.zip -O package.zip
unzip package.zip
rm package.zip
cd mosquitto-*

sed -i '/^WITH_SOCKS:=/c\WITH_SOCKS:=no' config.mk
sed -i '/^WITH_DOCS:=/c\WITH_DOCS:=no' config.mk
make -j $(nproc --all)
make install
mv /usr/local/sbin/mosquitto /usr/sbin/mosquitto
cd ..
rm -R mosquitto-*

@lupa18

Workaround (nice and simple), to install mosq:

G_AGI mosquitto
dietpi-services dietpi_controlled
dietpi-services restart

Test install's passed, completed. Please reopen if required.
