@girish said in Cloudron update failing:

Indeed, the docker install logic was not cleaned up properly when we cleaned up other package installs. fixed now - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/09d3d258b61ba338c0fadc88c0418d8bcc77f528 . Thanks for investigating!

Perhaps that fixes a similar bug, but just for clarity, note that I was using an old version Cloudron (6.1.2), and got stuck in this other loop that looks like it has already been removed from the script between version 6.2 and 6.3.

while ! dpkg --force-confold --configure -a; do
    log "Failed to fix packages. Retry"
    sleep 1
done

That “Failed to fix packages” is the message that appeared again and again in my infinite logs:
