[bug]: Apt-update / upgrade bricks the whole system #441

Closed rehoehle closed 2 weeks ago

rehoehle commented 2 weeks ago

FreePBX Version

FreePBX 17

Issue Description

I have seen that there is an hold back update of FreePBX17. 

Die folgenden Pakete sind zurückgehalten worden:
  freepbx17

after installing this package the whole system was bricked. So first a lot of modules where missing and the Web-UI was broken. So i had to install some missing package. After fixing that problem i run into routing problems. So the complete routing was not working anymore. There was something with a missing "cdr" package i guess.

On one inbound route there was now the DND message but there is nothing set. On other routes now Announcements appeared. So the whole routing was totally broken and a had to restore the whole system.

According to https://github.com/FreePBX/issue-tracker/issues/308#issuecomment-2228369809 the freepbx17 package is held on purpose.

@jcolp thanks for your reply. But ist that so clever? When you install that everything is broken. So then you have to find a way to remove that after installation. Normally you try to keep your packages up to date. This package will break your whole system. When you make a mistake and perhaps have other hold back packages it's not so good in my opinion.

@kguptasangoma can i remove that package? Or are there dependencies in it that are used?

freepbx17 package is for initial setup of Freepbx in the Debian OS.

If we try to re-install this package or upgrade this package then this will overwrite the system configurations to the default again.

We should not upgrade or re-install this package , that is the reason this is mark as "hold".

If you try to remove this package then "apt remove" will also remove all the files provided by this package which will break the default settings of the system.

@kguptasangoma sorry but that not a good solution in my opinion. Next time there are other hold back packages from Debian and someone install all of them and then the system is broken. Why are install scripts executed twice? Why not only on install? Then you can update the package over and over again and you have no problems.

Or write a file that the system is installed correctly and then skip everything on install there are a lot solution instead of bricking the system when running the package again.

Thanks for h9ighlighting the concern @rehoehle We can revisit this approach. also just fyi - we are holding sangoma-pbx17 and nodejs* packages also to block auto upgrade for these packages also due to compatibility issues with the freepbx.
