There's no version called newest/latest.

I don't see a single indication that your mods aren't working. Try commands like 'meta list' to really check what's working or not.

Code:
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed
You can safely ignore this warning.

Code:
./hlds_run: line 321: 11840 Segmentation fault      $HL_CMD
As far as I know this is simply something we have to live with. It just happens. People have been reporting though that a daily restart of your server may reduce the chance on crashes.

This is a major problem with Half Life Dedicated server on linux operating systems these days. I had to move my server to Windows, since this happened too many times to me.

./hlds_run: line 321: 764 Segmentation fault $HL_CMD

So, Your telling me there is no way to fix this error, unless i switch my server provider

It's problems from source folders where there are missing files or bad lines, there is not a problem from "too many plugins" unless they are conflicting with something, but that would be written in the errors. Not your case here, they are just idiots.
