920453 - Aurora 64b Linux fails to update (due to empty update.xml)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Andrei Eftimie]

We failed to update Aurora on Linux 64b:
http://mozmill-daily.blargon7.com/#/update/report/837c1e0f361ac93453ee697219613d87

The update.xml is empty:
https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/3/Firefox/26.0a2/20130923004006/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/en-US/aurora/Linux%203.2.0-52-generic%20(GTK%202.24.10)/default/default/update.xml?force=1

I'll update the AUS update.xml for reference.

Firefox build that fails: 20130923004006

Tested manually (thanks Andreea) on 64b Linux, and it doesn't report any available updates, yet we have them available on the FTP server:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2013-09-24-00-40-01-mozilla-aurora/

Ehm, not sure if this will be any help...

Empty update.xml file from:
https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/3/Firefox/26.0a2/20130923004006/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/en-US/aurora/Linux%203.2.0-52-generic%20(GTK%202.24.10)/default/default/update.xml?force=1

It sounds like another symptom of bug 858953.

Ups. I didn't wanted to close it.

I don't know how to fix this.
I need help on what to do or even better if someone could grab this!

The last nightly should have not happened IIUC.

All 3 nightly builds say this:

21st -> 22nd (normal)

I can verify that I can update from the 22nd (complete update to the 23rd???) but I can't update from the build of neither the 23rd nor the 24th.

I have tested that we're good for now.

I opened the build from the 22th and updated to the 26th.

We nevertheless have to fix this for real.
