[mirandam]

good, try to update next time, we'll see if this problem persists

1. The problem first occurred starting 0.95.12.1, more than 4 years ago and has not magically disappeared since
2. Last known version without error 32 is 0.95.11

Can you help check on git please?

you mean what happened to Plugin Updater 5 years ago?.. it's kinda tricky, but I'll try

Well, that's what bisect does, correct? I narrowed down the cause for you already, the issue is somewhere after 0.95.11 until 0.95.13

And unsuprisingly, 0.95.12.1 cannot be found on git, only 0.95.12 which says "Due to the massive conflicts in the source code, we couldn't update the stable version since May, 5th......"

Note: I do not know if 0.95.12 has the problem, but 0.95.13 definitely does https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/releases/tag/v0.95.13

[ghazan]

well, the only suspected change in 0.95.13 is this
https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/commit/6d990112ad5ba4a670b71d40de7dfd9cedfd32cc

before it all error codes were simply ignored

this commit had to fix the bug #2555, which occasionally also refers to error 32 during update, in that case it was caused by the fact that two Mirandas were run simultaneously with two different profiles, and one Miranda could not update itself because the second Miranda was holding a write lock over all binary files

[mirandam]

Well, can we do something to test for a fix?

I could disable error checking, but I don't wanna do that.
are you sure that you have only one instance of Miranda running ?

[mirandam]

If I have 2 miranda running, there would have been 2 update prompts and I would have known.

So, yes there is only ONE instance running.

[mirandam]

All I can say is that it is beginning to look like the check is inaccurate. If a file is really locked, miranda should not be able to update, yet it succeeds with 0.95.11

[ghazan]

yet it succeeds with 0.95.11

no, it doesn't. Miranda fails to create a backup file, thus limiting the ability to roll the update back

[ghazan]

mirandam,
okay, if you update to the recent development version, there's more info in a network log, what failed concretely + all paths & file names

[mirandam]

Can please provide a link to that recent development version?
