Is this error something you guys already know about?

I just noticed it while doing an update this morning.

Custom Config /zynthian/zynthian-sys/custom/display/ZynScreen 3.5 (v1)…
SOUNDCARD_MIXER is OK
Updating zyncoder…
fatal: Unable to create ‘/zynthian/zyncoder/.git/index.lock’: File exists.

Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by ‘git commit’. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.

It’ normally associated with an interrupted update or running two instances.

The lock file can be deleted it it keeps appearing, but make sure you don’t have an update running at the time.

I booted it up, deleted the active snapshot and did an update via webconf. Should be a clean update.

lock files in git are just that. A file placed to signal an in progress git pull. They are normally fairly well contained but can get orphaned.
