Apt-get: installing offline after online breaks when online is not running

[bottoy]

Hi,

I am upgrading from 1.8.3 towards Openhab2.0-b4 on Ubuntu 14 LTS following the installation steps of the online documentation.

I first tried the installation of the online package but with a failing PaperUI (error 404) I tried to install the offline package (via apt-get).

Before starting the upgrade I stopped the online openhab2. After the download, I received the following error:

Removing openhab2-online (2.0.0~b4) ...

• Stopping openHAB2 server openhab2 stop: Ignoring predefined value for KARAF_HOME Can't connect to the container. The container is not running. [fail] invoke-rc.d: initscript openhab2, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error processing package openhab2-online (--remove): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: openhab2-online E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Restarting the upgrade with openhab2 (online) started gave no error.

This is not a problem with the openhab 1 addons, which is what this defect tracker holds.

This would probably go in the defect tracker for the distro. But there's already a ticket for upgrading the apt-get process that might fix this issue, so you should consult that and see if it helps you.
