Unable to upgrade from 3.1.1 to 3.2

Hi,

I tried to upgrade to 3.2 but neither openhabian-config nor apt get-update and apt-get upgrade show me that there’s a new version available.

If I try to upgrade to 3.2 through the openhabian config menu, the tool tells me that openhabian 3 is already installed and migration will be canceled.

Any ideas?

  • what is the output of dpkg -l openhab
  • what is the content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list ( name could differ in your installation )
  • is there any error message when you do sudo apt-get update ?

dpkg -l openhab:

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

+++-==============-============-============-=================================
ii  openhab        3.1.1-1      all          openhab

openhab.list does not exist, nor any other version of the file, which is strange. I’ve recreated the file with

echo 'deb https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list

apt-get update does not show any errors.

I updated to 3.1.1 a week ago with apt get and apt upgrade, so I don’t know how the list file could disappear?

could be that the name on your system is different. Just check the content of other files.
With sudo apt-get -s upgrade you can check what would be updated when you would run the same command but without the -s ( simulate ) switch.
In case you just added the openhab repo you need to run apt-get update before but I assume that you have done that already.

I have the same issue:

A few month ago I installed OpenHABian with OpenHAB 3.1.0 on a new fresh Raspberry PI 4B.

Today I followed the update instructions on the release notes for 3.2.0 which says, you have to select menu entry “03 - Install OpenHAB”. After that I got the message, that openhab 3 is already installed…

sudo apt-get update ends with no errors.

Output of dpkg -l openhab:

openhab | 3.1.0 | all | openhab

That just updates syncs the repository ‘database’ to a local file - which is necessary to be done before doing the real work.
To do the update you need to run
sudo apt-get upgrade

In case you don’t want to do that for you whole system at the related package to be updated a the end of the command.

Thanks, that worked, no OpenHAB 3.2 is installed due to the sudo apt-get upgrade command. So the upgrade instrcutions in the Release Notes are wrong.

@Wolfang, I have a similar issue, unable to upgrade to 3.2.
I tried both with configure-openhab and with apt upgrade, but there is an error I am not able to manage.
I’d appreciate help.

Thanks

Did you try either to just upgrade openhab:
sudo apt-get upgrade openhab
resp. in case you also have the addons installed:
sudo apt-get upgrade openhab openhab-addons

Other possibility might be to first deinstall the packages with the unmet dependencies ( vlc-bin, vlc-plugin-skin2 ) and thendothe upgrade.

Ok, solved after removing the two packages.
Many thanks for your quick help :smiley:
