Updates not visible in WebUI

[sebeksd]

Please only open an issue here, when advised by a moderator in openmediavault forum.

My report did not have any response so reporting here.

Describe the bug
Hi, I have 3x OMV6 servers, two of them were updated from OMV5.

On one of them (one that was updated from OMV5 last) is not showing updates on WEB, if Im correct it was showing them at the beginning and stopped after some update (recent one, 1-2 months ago).

Updates are visible with sudo apt update/ list --upgradable.

This still persists through 2-3 updates (with machine restarts). This server has nothing special configured (only docker, backup plugin).

I left newest updates without installing them so if there was something to check on this server to have a test case.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Press check updates button on WebUI
2. List is empty
3. do apt update and apt list --upgradable in terminal
4. Updates are present (containing updates for OMV6 and/or plugins and/or kernel)

Expected behavior
List should show available updates and allow to install them.

Could you please run the command ls -alh /var/lib/openmediavault/apt/ and post the output here?

Is this env variable customized?

$ omv-env get OMV_APT_UPGRADE_INDEX_FILE

[ryecoaaron]

@votdev there was no output from omv-mkaptidx. So, it is still a bash script from the upgrade which evidently didn't go well.

sudo dpkg-divert --remove --rename /usr/sbin/omv-mkaptidx

[votdev]

Could you please run the following commands and post the output.

$ cd ~

Please do as @ryecoaaron suggested.

This one is little bit strange in Polish but will try to translate it:
No bypass "any bypass /usr/sbin/omv-mkaptidx", nothing was removed

[sebeksd]

What should I do now? I assume that this dpkg-divert is doing nothing.

[sebeksd]

I did that, and after that updates appeared in WebUI (look at screenshots). Then votdev said that I should also do what you proposed:

Please do as @ryecoaaron suggested.

So I was trying to do that to, without a success.

[ryecoaaron]

I misread where you were at. Hence why I deleted my post.

There is nothing for you to do. The dpkg-divert command had nothing to do. This isn't a problem. Are you still having issues using OMV? If not, you should be good to go.

[sebeksd]

Thank you, I will check it further tomorrow. (right now I have no access to the server)

[sebeksd]

Working correctly after when new update was available :) Thank you.
