Update to 0.116.1 with failure

[foly12]

Hi,
I would like to update my 0.110 to 0.116.1.
Installation: Raspi 3 with specific user (not standard evcc user)
I stopped evcc before starting update.

After apt update with following demand : sudo apt --only-upgrade install -y evcc

Got following error message:

@evcc:~ $ sudo apt --only-upgrade install -y evcc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information...

Hint: You can list the offending processes using 'pgrep -u evcc -a' Note that you should NOT use the evcc user as login user, since that will inevitably lead to this error. in that case, please create a different user as login user. dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/evcc_0.116.1_armhf.deb (--unpack): new evcc package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/evcc_0.116.1_armhf.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Can anyone help please? Thx a lot!

Does that mean, that I have to stop all those processes manually when planning to do an update via apt?

Sorry, I have no idea what to do next… any help is highly appreciated. Thx!!!

There are serval discussion with the same problem https://github.com/evcc-io/evcc/discussions?discussions_q=is%3Aopen+Stop+offending+process
I hope you find the info that helps you.

Thx for the links, I have read most of them already and tried everything I found again ... no change..

• I use a user different to "evcc"
• I stopped evcc and tried several times "sudo apt --only-upgrade install -y evcc"
• I did "apt-get" update and "apt-get upgrade"
• tried again severall times "sudo apt --only-upgrade install -y evcc"
• I killed all shown running processes one by one and tried again after each step -> noch change ...

Hi all,

anyone can help? Would be great ... don´t know how to proceed. Thank you!!

add: just tried to reinstall evcc from scratch, same problem appeared. Next idea I have is a complete reinstallation ...

[StefanSchoof]

Did you already remove the evcc user completely?

[foly12]

Just did ist, that was the reason. Thx a lot!!!

[foly12]

Its not enough to log in with a user other then "Evcc" the evcc user has to be deleted completely- > Solved,thx Stefan :-)
