This topic can be used to discuss problems/experiences/questions on the openHAB 2.5.11 and later patch releases.
The NPE fix for the Neato binding was not included in 2.5.11, only in 3.0.0
Perhaps it is in a 2.5.12 snapshot?
Unfortunately it seems the patch was only applied into 3.0.0
Try opening an issue on GitHub for this on 2.5.
Under Debian 10, I simply perform an update and now Iām on 2.5.11. Unfortunately, OpenHab canāt restart, Iām stuck on the message āMerci de patienter pendant lāinstallation. Cela peut prendre plusieurs minutes.ā which should be in English something like āPlease wait during installation. This can takes minutesā
I tried to clean cache but nothing helped. Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
How long did you wait? I assume the server has Internet access??
why it stuck with updating, current 2.5.11 release ?

Same here. Seems stuck on the same place for me as well.

Same here.
It looks like it is running an update in the background with no visual log displaying. Why?
As seen in the screenshot, for an unknown reason v2.5.12 is not found as installation candidate. Is anything wrong with my etc/sources.list maybe? Donāt think I changed anything, though, and all previous upgrades starting with v2.5.9 and onward went flawlessly so farā¦
Any hints appreciated.
You are looking at the testing repo. 2.5.12 is stable
Iām pretty sure I posted a reply to the issue, but my post seems to have gone missing 
What is the output of:
apt-cache policy openhab2
The stable releases are available on the testing and snapshot repos, so this wonāt matter.
A bad forum upgrade meant they restored from backup and lost a couple of days of posts. Not sure why they did not backup just before upgrading.
I was not aware of that
Yes, unfortunately 2.5.12 was very likely the last release. I simply do not have the capacity to do release management for 3 branches in parallel and 2.5.x was anyhow considered to only be continued for critical (security) bug fixes - which we did with 2.5.12. The Bintray sunset is an additional burden that makes any further release unlikely, since it would involve quite some efforts to deal with it.
That really impacts zwave which depends on database updates. Was there any advance warning to users or developers?
For me this seems to be a good time seperate data from code in the z-wave binding. Iām quite shure, @chris has had a good reason to combine them, when he started. Anyway iāve never understood (nor questioned) mixing this up in principle.
Iām aware this might be a lot of work. But not to depend on a new software release to be able to use new z-wave devices might well worth it.
