> I just realized that this was because I was out of disk space, causing
this. Oddly, instead of a disk space error, I got a popup that said
another copy of Firefox was running... Once I created enough free space,
the update applied on the next Tor Browser restart.
Yes, error 70 from toolkit/mozapps/update/common/errors.h is
`WRITE_ERROR_EXTRACT`. Looking at the code, the only place that is
generated is in code that is trying to `fwrite()` while extracting a file
from the MAR.
I am glad recovery happened once you freed up some space. Maybe we should
create a patch that logs something a little better than "failed 70"
though, such as "failed 70 (write error during file extraction)." But I
bet Mozilla expects that an expert will need to look at a user's update
log anyway to figure out what happened. But it still annoys me to have to
go to a source file every time to look up a failure code.
> Arguably this is an upstream bug. At least, we should not concern
ourselves with it now.
I think there is already an upstream bug for this or a similar updater-
out-of-space issue. I will look for it tomorrow.
