500 - Internal Server Error Failed to execute command - omv-salt deploy run --no-color postfix

foklan · Apr 22nd 2023

Recently during user creation this error popped out, it should not be related to users since it's a postfix but this error is showing every time I change anything in OMV and I want to apply settings:

This error only occurs if you are running a Salt version > 3003. See my bug report https://github.com/saltstack/s…21#issuecomment-951782987.

I assume you've upgraded Salt manually via PIP (which is not supported because it breaks things). You need to undo that to fix the problem.

foklan · Apr 22nd 2023

Actually I don't even have pip installed on my system, the only thing I did with salt-minion was that I connected it to my salt-master.
I really don't know where that version came from, it's actually quite fresh installation of OMV so I assumed that this version came with it.

votdev · Apr 22nd 2023

If OMV installed correctly without any customization, the Salt packages are installed from the OMV package repository. Make sure the OMV repo has higher prio than every other to rollback the package.

votdev · Apr 22nd 2023

What version is currently installed?

Code

$ dpkg -l | grep salt

And how did you install OMV and on what hardware (distro image)?

foklan · Apr 22nd 2023

I tried to create new installation from openmediavault_6.0.24-amd64.iso and I can confirm, that this installation contains salt version 3003+ds-1.

On my previous installation I had 3004.2+ds-1 and I wasn't able to downgrade it (I really don't know where it come from).

When I tried to downgrade the salt-common package It went really bad as it uninstalled many other packages:

It looks like I have to do clean installation of OMV.

votdev · Apr 22nd 2023

I've strictly restricted the Salt version in the openmediavault package (https://github.com/openmediava…7d7bad12bdb04bc153f878bec), so it will not be possible to install OMV with a preinstalled Salt that does not match or you'll get an error when a newer Salt will be installed.

rickyx · Aug 5th 2025

I encountered the same error.

I confirm that I did not install pip either and had no reason to update salt.

However:

Code

# dpkg -l | grep salt
ii  salt-common                        3006.0+ds-1+240.1                       all          shared libraries that salt requires for all packages
ii  salt-minion                        3006.0+ds-1+240.1                       all          client package for salt, the distributed remote execution system

Is it possible that it was updated through some update procedure such as apt?

Edit

it came from: http://packages.openmediavault…ain/binary-amd64/Packages

found in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/openmediavault-archive-keyring.gpg] http://packages.openmediavault.org/public/ sandworm main

Thank you,

Can I ask what is needed to fix this? After trying to install a new hard drive, I'm getting a similar error trying to apply pending changes to the Filesystem and can't get past it.

Looks like I have salt version 3006.0+ds-1+240.1 installed.

Hi, i'm also getting a similar error i suppose, see below:

If it was after a recent update, check out this thread.

Error applying configuration changes after 7.7.15-1 patch installation

Hi,

I just installed the 7.7.15-1 patch and OMV asked my to apply config changes (Ausstehende Konfigurationsänderungen). This fails with the following error:

(Code, 21 lines)

Looking into /etc/rsyslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.d, I see the following:

How can I fix this issue?

Thanks!

Removing /etc/rsyslog.d/openmediavault-sftp.conf solved the issue for me.
