Unable to upgrade plugins

[belisarius]

A few of my plugins are a bit out of date, so I decided to try and upgrade them. However, every time I try, I end up with an error message of "Error: Failed to update plugin". I used my SABnzbd plugin as a test (my attempts to upgrade Sonarr and Transmission failed as well) as I attempted to watch the log files to see if I could get a better idea of why the upgrade was failing.

The message log didn't offer much up, only saying "manage.py: [middleware.exceptions:37] [MiddlewareError: Failed to update plugin]". I grep'd through the debug.log file, and I'm not able to glean much from it; the only thing that might indicate a problem is "manage.py: [plugins.plugin:171] No hash provided to validate download (<Plugin: SABnzbd>)".

BTW, freenas is the hostname of the machine. I'm current on the 9.3 version of FreeNAS. lagg0 is my network device.

Here's a small slice of the debug.log file - it was quite large and I didn't want to post the whole thing, so I just snagged stuff around plugin message. Most of the contents of the debug log seemed to be a trace of me simply accessing the web interface.

Any ideas?

the pbi upgrade process in 9.x can be fairly unreliable.

you could do a procedure similar to here replacing the PBIs.

or just install new instances of the plugins and copy over their data-directorys as I list here
