Just got it solved.
I saw you comments in another post https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-2-2-stable-upgrade-errors/37437/25.
Permission of folders! for some reason my /var/lib/openhab2/etc folder was owned by root and not openhab when I chown this to openhab it worked.
Thanks for help @Benjy wouldn’t of got it sorted without it.
