Upgrade 3.4 -> 4.0.2: Java 17 and still Error installing boot features

Setup, Configuration and Use Migration
1

Dear openhabians,

after updating from my openhab 3.4 installation to 4.0.2 (i upgraded to java 17 beforehand via openhabian-config) my openhab started, but with major hiccups (it was stuck in a startup loop).
After a clean-cache and multiple restarts I wasn’t able to fix that behaviour and could not access karaf console to further deactivate bindings to track down the issue.
I then looked around in the openhabian-config tool and I found that it was still on the Openhab3 branch. I changed it to the release setting and then selected upgrade, which did give me that it successfully reconfigured java 17 but didnt install anysthing. I then selected install openhab.
Well, probably my fault but something is broken now. Openhab fails to start with

2023-09-02 08:42:29.380 [ERROR] [ternal.service.BootFeaturesInstaller] - Error installing boot features

java -version tells me I have JDK-17. I have also tried to manually install jdk-17 with no luck.

I’m on a raspberry pi4 4G with bullseye.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you so much,

Bob

Don’t know if that will help at the end but what is the output of following commands to gather information:

cat /var/lib/openhab/etc/version.properties

uname -a

cat /etc/os-release

java --version

What is shown in the about menu ( 00 ) in openhabian ? First two rows show several version information.

Looks ok to me, or am I missing something`?

Looks like your instances runs in 64-bit mode: aarch64
Did you install the 64-bit image ?

Hi, hmm not intentionally…

But I have gotten it to work again now, and this time even without the hiccups I experienced beforehand. This is what I did (again):
Stop openhab
Clean cache
Select JDK17 in openhabian-config
Select release as current openhab flavor
Select upgrade openhab
Select install openhab
Reboot.

I have tried all those things before, but for some reason it worked now.
Thank you Wolfgang for your help and time!
