Unable to Update/Download latest version 3.10.0

[stachurr]

After trying different approves from updating fonts to 3.10.0, I decided to uninstall it so I could reinstall it again. The installation fails with the same error given when attempting to update:

[lierdakil]

Well, the relevant part here is this: zlib: unexpected end of file, the rest is just fluff. The caveat is that all packaging is actually handled by GitHub, so I can't do much about it anyway. That said, I've checked, and apm install fonts works as expected for me, so it either was a temporary problem, which is already fixed, or it's an issue on your side (perhaps with your Internet connection, but that's a blind guess obviously)

[StefanGreve]

I have the exact same issue. I also tried to update & re-install Atom but I could not resolve the error that way. Interestingly enough, I can't install any other font-related packages, either.

For example take this output:

Installing “fonts-cjk@2.2.0” failed.
npm ERR! code Z_BUF_ERROR
npm ERR! errno -5
npm ERR! zlib: unexpected end of file

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\Stefan Greve\.atom\.apm\_logs\2020-03-25T13_54_21_526Z-debug.log

It's the exact same error message in both cases. On the other hand, Hydrogen v2.14.1 and teletype v0.13.4 could be installed just fine the other night. As far as I am concerned, my internet connection should be good enough to download extensions. Perhaps there exists some incompatibility issues with another extensions I have already installed? Your guess is as good as mine.

[taw00]

Still unresolved 4 months later (note, I have no issues installing other packages):

I can not reproduce the issue.

Attach the full log if you want me to take a look at it. But the chance I will be able to do anything on our end is rather slim, this very much seems like an NPM issue.

[lierdakil]

StackOverflow suggests

npm cache clean --force
npm cache verify

[taw00]

I ended up installing it by hand with a git clone and npm install. That worked.

I just did the cache clean thing and we'll see the next time it needs to be updated. Thanks for your input.

@StefanGreve Did you ever get it installed? Can you try the npm clean --force suggestion?

[ricosandyca]

Same here...
I've tried to run this but it still didn't work

npm cache clean --force
npm cache verify

My atom version is 1.47.0x64 I got another problem with platform-ide-terminal on this version. I don't know that's atom issues or packages issues

[lierdakil]

7 http fetch GET 304 https://www.atom.io/api/packages/fonts/versions/3.11.0/tarball 3102ms (from cache)

And here's the issue, which is different from the other reported here, but is in the similar general category. Apparently, something went wrong, probably the download got interrupted. This mangled file was saved to cache. Now the same file keeps getting pulled from cache.

The only question is how to remove that from the cache. As far as I know, apm cache is supposedly in $HOME/.atom/.apm.

[ricosandyca]

@lierdakil it's working
I followed this instruction for deleting the cache as you explained

Thanks 👍

[taw00]

Works for me now as well. I think this boils down to a caching issue.
What should happen is that this particular error should be caught and dealt with. Either alerting the user that there may be a caching issue and how to resolve it. Or ... if confident enough, atom or the package installation process should just fix it.

[lierdakil]

Feel free to open an issue on atom/atom repo. Can't fix the installer issue on the package side.

Done. I suppose this issue can be closed.

[miniminiwhite]

Or maybe you can try the other way and install the package manually... it works fine for me.

I deleted the cache manually by cleaning up the folder ~/.atom/.apm, yet the apm install fonts command didn't work well somehow and got stuck, so I downloaded and installed the package manually.

1. Remove the fonts package you currently have in atom;
2. Download the latest release from github, I downloaded the zip file but the other one should work the same way;
3. Unzip the content to ~/.atom/packages (since other package folders don't contain any version number, I removed the version number from the folder name just in case, fonts-3.11.0 → fonts. Not sure if that's an issue);
4. cd ~/.atom/packages/fonts;
5. apm install.

Hope this helps a bit.
Curse the terrible network btw. 💢
