      I am getting firmware installation failed error when trying to update from 2.3.b.20160301.1432 to 2.3.b.20160314.0755. Anyone else seeing this issue?

        Haven't seen that anywhere. What's it show in /conf/upgrade_log.txt?

          I`ve seen it.
          Log says file not found and it happens when metadata is online already and actual file not build/uploaded yet.
          This happens just when new snap it is being prepaired I believe.

            Oh, yeah may be hitting that. There is a brief period on each snapshot run where the metadata is in place before the associated packages. Refresh a few seconds later in that case and it's fine.

              Weird. So I did what you said and let it sit there a bit and then refreshed and ran it again. Now it says it completely successfully, but it still shows me at version 2.3.b.20160301.1432 with an update to 2.3.b.20160315.0054 available. I ran it two more times and it said it was successful, but it still shows me at v.1432. Any ideas? I've also rebooted the device a few times before and after I submitted this ticket originally.

                Just tried again. Still stuck at 2.3.b.20160301.1432.

                Anyone have any ideas how to get it updating properly again?

                    Issue in that case is:

                    pkg: archive_read_extract(): Can't create '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.20/AnyDBM_File.pm'

                    Not sure why it wouldn't be able to create that. Does the file it's referencing there exist?

                      So it looks like the/usr/local/lib/perl5directory is symlinked to```
                      /usr/pbi/lightsquid-amd64/local/lib/perl5
