Problem updating to 6.3.4-1 from 6.3.3-1 (RPI4)

Hello to all,

I have ran into an issue with updating one of my OMV systems.

The hardware I'm using in this system, is RPI4.

I had a notification saying there's an update waiting for me to apply. version 6.3.4-1 was waiting for me to install on top of 6.3.3-1.

I have confirmed the installation, but seems that it was freezing at the end with the following state

I waited for a very long time, but this message didn't change. I opened a new browser tab to connect to web-UI, and saw the following:
1. uptime was ~4 minutes (meaning, system has rebooted itself).

2. installed version was 6.3.4-1

3. for some reason, a notification for updates was still showing.

Going to the updates page, I saw that 6.3.4-1 was still waiting for me. Not sure why. Thought that maybe the process of installation did not completed correctly, so I tried to re-install it again. Unfortunately, this was not doable. I got the following error message:

I tried then to do as suggested and logged into via SSH to my RPI. Then I ran the following:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

The result was the following:

And again - it was frozen at this state. And again, when checking, the system has rebooted.

Not sure what to do next to solve the problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.

They provide little information. What is OMV installed on, microSDCard, USB stick, SSD? I suspect that the microSDCard, if used, is defective. Do you have a backup of the system?

It is installed on an SSD.

I don't have a backup of the system.

Just to clarify - from what I can tell, system seems to be working. I'm not sure what is broken and what will be affected (probably I'll find out about it in the future).

ok. managed to fix it.

for future reference, if others will come across this issue, this is what I did:

$ sudo apt update

# Next 'dpkg' command passed after 'apt update' command. 

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

# Next command is probably not necessary to resolve the specific issue.

$ sudo apt upgrade

Thanks for informing. In the future you should use the command

omv-upgrade

rather

apt update

apt upgrade

thanks for the input.

can you elaborate on what does the 'omv-upgrade' do differently then two commands?

Many thanks

It's basically the same but optimized for omv, here's the full explanation.
