error: corrupt loose object

[VE6DV]

Getting the following error message when I select update:

Updating /var/www/dashboard...
error: corrupt loose object 'e4247501541d3ed820939fd8bbe42203ea20a57a'
fatal: loose object e4247501541d3ed820939fd8bbe42203ea20a57a (stored in /var/www/dashboard/.git/objects/e4/247501541d3ed820939fd8bbe42203ea20a57a) is corrupt
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Updates were not successfull, reverting to Pi-Star original files...
HEAD is now at 5dd6462 Update edit_dmrgateway.php
Done

Any ideas what the problem may be?

I decided to ssh into the pi and try doing the update that way. Thus far it seems to be working. If that doesn't work I'll reflash the card.

The ssh update had the same results. Since I've saved my configuration I will just reflash the card and see if that corrects the problem.

Thanks for the help,

Reflashing the card did the trick. Error messages are gone and it is behaving normally once again. Now to see if my hotspot continues to lock up on me from time to time. Hopefully that has been fixed in the process.

Yeah, seems like the best option. I'm sure theres some git command that would fix it, but I'm not fluent in it.

Based on Google -- most solutions say to first make a back-up of the local git repository, then make a new clone from the master repository, followed by copying whatever has that object number from the new clone to the previous local repository.

If you get error issues with git failing to update your pistar system files, it will always be that the checksum of a file/s has changed in either /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/sbin or /var/www/dashboard
Log into SSH and do one of the sets of commands that is for the area having the error. After it completes do a sudo pistar-update to make sure it is fixed.
