I would really rather avoid reinstalling openhab since there are system critical stuff running on there. ---

Besides the answer of hmerk please also check if you installed the package openhab2-addons besides openhab2.Because of the move of the repository ( search here on the forum ) mvn downloads for 2.5 do not work any longer as far as I understand. Installation of the addons package should help here. ---

In any case, 2.5.0.M3 is pretty old, I’d very much suggest to use at least 2.5.12. With the KAR for offline usage of add-ons, you should not depend any longer on the remote availablility. ---

Hi, I have a similar issue here but with I’m using the RPI image. Originally I had openhabian image 2.5.11 and I updated (apt package) the latest 2.5.12 version successfully (I updated sourcelist to `https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg` and repository key `https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public`), but I have the same error messages: ``` 2021-05-03 14:42:33.460 [ERROR] [core.karaf.internal.FeatureInstaller] - Failed installing 'openhab-persistence-mapdb, openhab-misc-openhabcloud, openhab-transformation-javascript, openhab-transformation-regex, openhab-transformation- jsonpath, openhab-transformation-xpath, openhab-ui-restdocs, openhab-transformation-map, openhab-ui-basic, openhab-misc-homekit, openhab-ui-habmin, openhab-transformation-xslt, openhab-transformation-exec, openhab-binding-knx, openhab -ui-paper, openhab-transformation-scale': Error: Error downloading mvn:org.openhab.addons.bundles/org.openhab.transform.map/[2.5.0,2.6) ``` As it seems to find the addons repository, it seems strange that the bindings cannot be installed: ``` $ sudo apt install openhab2-addons --dry-run Reading package lists...

Not sure if this is related to [this](https://community.openhab.org/t/oh-3-1-snapshot-2354-error-downloading-mvn-com-zsmartsystems-zigbee-com-zsmartsystems-zigbee-console-telegesis-1-3-10/121559/13) (in my case, the “basic” addons are missing too). ---

> [@apica](#): > > As it seems to find the addons repository, it seems strange that the bindings cannot be installed because online installation( mvn ) and offline installation ( openhab2-addons ) different sources / ways of working and one available does not include that the other is available, too. Why not installing openhab2-addons as suggested by Kai - which seems to be the only option ? Doesn’t it also have advantages as the mvn source could be down/not available and having installed the offline package makes it possible for you to run your OH environment. ---

Thank you @Wolfgang_S ! > [@Wolfgang\_S](#): > > Why not installing openhab2-addons as suggested by Kai - which seems to be the only option ? > Doesn’t it also have advantages as the mvn source could be down/not available and having installed the offline package makes it possible for you to run your OH environment. That’s one option, but I’m using a raspberry compute module with just 3.6G, and the addons file is around 200MB, so it’s a lot of space to me 😓 I can make some space temporarily to install a binding, but then I’ll need to uninstall it again. Having to do all this offline process every time I need to install a binding is a mess. My point is that it worked just fine few days ago and I think it should be interesting to “get back” this feature. In fact, I’d like to help if the issue is just storing the “cloud version” (I don’t know if it is just uploading a file and configuring the URL in openhab)! ---

Hi @apica, you might be able to change the location in a settings file, see the second option in Kai’s post: > [@openHAB 2.5.x and the sunset of Bintray](https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-2-5-x-and-the-sunset-of-bintray/121839): > > All, The [sunset of Bintray on May 1st](https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/) caused existing openHAB 2.5.x installations to no longer be able to download add-ons from the remote repository (because this was actually Bintray). The original plan was to move this content to another place and offer a seamless switch for the users, but unfortunately this turned out to be more complicated than thought, so that it didn’t work out - at least until now. There are two options to fix the problem, though: Use the offline version of the add-… ---

I updated to 2.5.12, updated the addons to 2.5.12, and after two restarts of the service, everything is working. Thanks to all for the help, much appreciated ---

Thanks, that worked! Thank you for pointing me that post. I have a last recurring error but I’m not sure if it’s related: ``` 2021-05-04 10:19:33.924 [DEBUG] [core.karaf.internal.FeatureInstaller] - Running scheduled sync job 2021-05-04 10:19:34.018 [DEBUG] [core.karaf.internal.FeatureInstaller] - Failed uninstalling 'openhab-ui-dashboard': Feature named 'openhab-ui-dashboard/0' is not installed ``` There are some recently post that talk about it ([here](https://community.openhab.org/t/system-seems-to-be-constantly-restarting/95743/26)), but the main issue was fixed. Thanks!
