Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/474

I knew there was an update available so I tried "./arkserver update" which returned,

No update available:
    Current version: 744093
    Available version: 744093
    https://steamdb.info/app/376030/

So then I used the "force-update" command which did update the server. After updating I ran the script with the "update" command again and got,

No update available:
    Current version: 750786
    Available version: 750786
    https://steamdb.info/app/376030/

So it doesn't seem to properly detect when a new version is available.

I have the same issue with gmod, it would say there is no update available, but force-update will fix it.

Hi.
I use Ubuntu 64 bit.
uname -a
Linux SKYNET 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
If i try to update(cron or manual)
/tf2/tf2server update
[ OK ] Update tf2-server: Checking for update: SteamCMD

No update available:
Current version: 789049
Available version: 789049
https://steamdb.info/app/232250/

[ OK ] Update tf2-server: No update available

But I knew there was an update available.
If i give the command manually
/tf2/tf2server force-update
update is successful

If i in console sent command
/tf2/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +app_info_update 1 +app_info_print 232250 +app_info_print 232250 +quit | grep -EA 1000 "^\s+"branches"$" | grep -EA 5 "^\s+"public"$" | grep -m 1 -EB 10 "^\s+}$" | grep -E "^\s+"buildid"\s+" | tr '[:blank:]"' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d\ -f3
i give OLD version
If i manual go to Steam console and type manual login anonymous and type manual app_info_update 1 and type manual app_info_print 232250 i give NEW version
If after this i in console sent command
/tf2/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +app_info_update 1 +app_info_print 232250 +app_info_print 232250 +quit | grep -EA 1000 "^\s+"branches"$" | grep -EA 5 "^\s+"public"$" | grep -m 1 -EB 10 "^\s+}$" | grep -E "^\s+"buildid"\s+" | tr '[:blank:]"' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d\ -f3

I solved this problem using a utility Expect link to Expect to get the available version number

In Ubuntu Server 14.04 64bit
Add packages
sudo apt-get install expect tofrodos

get_version.sh

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set timeout 60
spawn "/tf2/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh"

while 1 { expect {
"Steam>" {break}
timeout {send_user "Response wait time is up.\r"; exit 2}
}}
sleep 5
send "login anonymous\r"
while 1 { expect {
"Steam>" {break}
timeout {send_user "Response wait time is up.\r"; exit 2}
}}
sleep 5
send "app_info_update 1\r"
while 1 { expect {
"Steam>" {break}
timeout {send_user "Response wait time is up.\r"; exit 2}
}}
sleep 5
send "app_info_print 232250\r"
while 1 { expect {
"Steam>" {break}
timeout {send_user "Response wait time is up.\r"; exit 2}
}}
send "quit\r"

cron_update_tf2.sh

#!/bin/bash
...

sudo -i -u tf2server /home/user/tf2update/get_version.sh > /home/user/tf2update/steam.out

#_change line endings CRLF -> LF
/usr/bin/fromdos /home/user/tf2update/steam.out

#_get available version number
availablebuild=$(cat /home/user/tf2update/steam.out | grep -EA 1000 "^\s+"branches"$" | grep -EA 5 "^\s+"public"$" | grep -m 1 -EB 10 "^\s+}$" | grep -E "^\s+"buildid"\s+" | tr '[:blank:]"' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d\ -f3)

Is this client caching the information? If so, is there a way to clear the cache?

I found the reason that there is no update.
You must edit the file fn_update_check
replace line
#_Removes appinfo.vdf as a fix for not always getting up to date version info from SteamCMD

if [ -f "${rootdir}/Steam/appcache/appinfo.vdf" ]; then
rm -f "${rootdir}/Steam/appcache/appinfo.vdf"
fi

These strings.

if [ -f "${HOME}/Steam/appcache/appinfo.vdf" ]; then
rm -f "${HOME}/Steam/appcache/appinfo.vdf"
fi

if [ -f "${rootdir}/steamcmd/appcache/appinfo.vdf" ]; then
rm -f "${rootdir}/steamcmd/appcache/appinfo.vdf"
fi
