Symptoms
Nightly cPanel updates fail with an error indicating an inability to stage a new RPM due to missing digest data. For example
[2021-08-3 11:32:04 +0100] ***** FATAL: Failed to stage “new RPMS” because of an error: No digest data for cpanel-libspf2-1.2.10-2.cp1198.x86_64.rpm at /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updatenow.static-cpanelsync line 51552.
Description
This can indicate an issue with a FastUpdate or otherwise custom update mirror specified in /etc/cpsources.conf.
Workaround
Comment out the HTTUPDATE= line(s) in /etc/cpsources.conf, and try the cPanel update again. Lines can be commented out by placing a '#' in front of them. For example:
# HTTPUPDATE=203.0.113.5
A manual cPanel update can then be run with:
/scripts/upcp
