Can't upgrade because zip file theme marked as update on upgrade

[uwe_keim]

Doing the following:

cd /var/discourse
sudo git pull
sudo ./launcher rebuild app

It runs for some time and then fails. The last output lines look like this:

FAILED
--------------------
Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake themes:update assets:precompile' failed with return #<Process::Status: pid 3766 exit 1>

** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one.
./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.

When then running

sudo ./discourse-doctor

The only meaningful entry I could find is:

I, [2021-07-23T05:33:02.903723 #1]  INFO -- : Updating Dunkel...
Error updating Dunkel: Error cloning git repository, access is denied or repository is not found

My question

Could someone please give me some hints on how to resolve this?

The repository for Dunkel is either private or no longer around.

[uwe_keim]

Thanks. I already looked through “app.yml” and did not find any references to “Dunkel”.

The only thing I can see is a theme called “Dunkel” (German for “dark”) that says

This theme was imported from a ZIP file

There is a checkbox at the theme saying

Automatically update theme when Discourse is updated

I’ve unchecked this checkbox now.

Then, running

cd /var/discourse
sudo git pull
sudo ./launcher rebuild app

after that actually succeeds now.

Being able to check the auto update box on a zip file theme sounds like a bug to me. I’m moving this.

Maybe the logging should also print the repository URL it is about to try to reach to better see what’s going on?

I found no way to actually see the repository URL at all, not in the log files, not in the GUI.
