Core add-ons are missing

Describe the issue you are experiencing

Core add-ons are missing except from those that were installed when home assisstant itself was installed. Icons of those add-ons are missing too.

When manually checking add-ons for updates, errors are logged in supervisor log.

This issue is a blocker for me, because there is no way for me to install mosquitto broker and given that I can’t use Zigbee2mqtt.

Core add-ons that are installed don’t get updated.

What is the used version of the Supervisor?

supervisor-2022.05.2

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Which operating system are you running on?

Home Assistant Operating System

What is the version of your installed operating system?

5.15.38

What version of Home Assistant Core is installed?

core-2022.5.5

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Go to Settings > Add-ons;
2. Click “Add-on store” button bottom right of the screen;
3. Click three dots top right of the screen;
4. Select “Check for updates” from drop list;
5. Check Supervisor log for errors.

Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us?

Additional information

I saw other HA users having this very problem, but there was very little if no effort form HA developers to try and address this issue.

Would be nice to finally get proper help and the solution.

Hrm. So when we see this error what it means is that the repository on disk is corrupted. We do a git clone to get the repository on disk and then update it with a git reset. I’m not sure why it gets corrupted but it seems to happen periodically.

It’s supposed to fix itself when this happens by removing the folder and cloning again. But it looks like the git library is raising a unexpected type of exception that isn’t being caught.

I can put a fix in for this but trying to think if there’s a quick workaround for you in the meantime. I’ll post if I come up with one.

@mdegat01 Is there any ETA for your fix?
