SOLVED freenas-update Broken

[portablesounds]

Hi all. In freenas-11-STABLE, when I try to run freenas-update from the shell, I am met with the following error:

Code:

[root@freenas /mnt/NAS]# freenas-update check
Update not permitted:
b'Cannot open "/lib/libedit.so.7"'

The error dialogs are pretty unhelpful at the command line, but I can get more info when I attempt to check for updates in the GUI:

Code:

Update server could not be reached

b'Cannot open "/lib/libedit.so.7"'


Traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/freenasOS/Manifest.py", line 682, in RunValidationProgram
subprocess.check_output(valid_script, preexec_fn=PreExecHook, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 418, in run
output=stdout, stderr=stderr)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command './tmpkp54_w23' returned non-zero exit status 1.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

raise Exceptions.UpdateInvalidUpdateException(err.output.rstrip())
freenasOS.Exceptions.UpdateInvalidUpdateException: b'Cannot open "/lib/libedit.so.7"'

Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

It's probably a duff boot device.
Try running "Validate Install"

Thanks. I just did and a ton of permissions errors came back:

Code:

Expected MODE: 0o444, Got: 0o700

This comes up on almost every library file I have. I never messed with the permissions on these directories (or so I thought). At this point would a full reinstall be advisable?

Download your config and re-install.
