What can I do to update my OH?

Thank you for your help!

Sorry, just noticed you mentioned using the openhabian-config tool.:laughing:

Try clearing the cache and rebooting then update.

sudo systemctl stop openhab

sudo openhab-cli clean-cache

sudo reboot

Also, from the config tool select upgrade and after the update you may need to reboot once or twice. You can use the same commands as above.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried to clean the cache as you mentionned then I rebooted but I still get the same error message when I try to update my OH.

What can I do next?

Have you tried updating the openhabian-config tool? It’s the first option when the tool screen pops up. After letting it update, then do the system update.

If you’ve already done the above then try using sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade from the command line and see if you get the same error.

@zimraph EDIT Looking at my OH server I think the solution is to use the openhabian-config tool and select Apply Improvements (#10) then Packages (#11). This will install the git package as mentioned in the logs. After that you should be able to upgrade to 2.4 without this error.
