Default OpenBSD 7.1 bad patch 71-001_wifi ?

After upgrading to OpenBSD 7.1 earlier today I ran syspatch and
updated the system using patch 71-001_wifi.

But later now when I run syspatch -c I get this error:

#syspatch -c
syspatch: Error retrieving https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/...64/SHA256.sig: 404 Not Found

It seems odd and I looked at the directory,
https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/syspatch/
and the 7.1 patch directory is gone!.

It has been renamed to 7.1-no thus triggering the SHA256.sig 404 error...

There was an apparent problem with the packaging of the binary syspatch. The patch does what it is supposed to, however, it creates a kernel named "7.1-stable". This causes a problem for reverting the patch or installing new patches with syspatch(8), which only works on releases.

Keep running it if you installed it, as the patch itself works correctly. The Project will have instructions for repair soon.

Source-built patches are not affected.


I haven't seen anything in email, but I saw a post about it just now on Mastodon.

Thanks jggimi.

Earlier I tried to revert the patch with syspatch -r and that failed, so I reverted it manually:

Code:
#tar -C / -xvf /var/syspatch/71-001_wifi/rollback.tgz
#/usr/libexec/reorder_kernel
And I copied the syspatch directory to syspatch-bad and then removed the syspatch/71-001_wifi directory and its contents.

Thanks jggimi, comet--berkeley

I applied it also and will keep an eye on this thread and @misc hoping a fix eventually comes out. If nothing comes out before the next patch (if any), I will follow what comet--berkeley did.

But, does anyone know if comet--berkeley's instructions fix will correct syspatch(8) too ?

At least I am having no issues

Default jggimi is correct. The patch does not need to be removed.

Jggimi is correct, the patch is okay to leave in. Theo De Raadt responded to questions about syspatch for 7.1 in the OpenBSD misc mailing list:

Re: Sprurios errors from syspatch -c

To prevent application of syspatches to the wrong type of system,
syspatch(8) inspects 'sysctl kern.version'. It checks you have a normal
release system (ie. 7.0 or 7.1). Since this patch renamed the system to
"7.1-stable", syspatch(8) will refuse to install future patches. And of
course the way this check is coded, it won't let you backout the patch
which took the system to 7.1-stable..

Simple instructions for getting over this trouble will be coming along
before there is a new syspatch 001_wifi is made available. I estimate a
week.

People who already installed the 001_wifi syspatch aren't harmed by the
fix otherwise, but I have stopped distribution of the file to reduce the
number of people in this crossed-over state.

(Other than this issue, the syspatch itself was good, it fixes wifi
association problems on a number of devices, so people who already
have it shouldn't take special measures to get rid of it yet, wait for
our advice in a week or so).

And of course, the syspatch testing procedures will get another step or
two to make sure this doesn't happen again....

So just wait.

The Project will be publishing a fix for those of us who installed the patch via syspatch(8). One of my -release systems is affected, so I'll be following their guidance when published.

The Project's guidance might be the same. But it could be different. I'm going to wait and see. I would recover my one affected system by restoring from backup, if I was concerned. But I'm not concerned. The only thing impacted by the broken syspatch that has been withdrawn is that it broke syspatch(8).

Default The "bad" patch is now good again

The "bad" patch is now good again.

See the 7.1 Errata page for details:
