update of openmediavault-compose complains about omv-compose-term.service not found

bermuda · May 21st 2025

Hello,

today I installed a pending update of openmediavault-compose. Later in the GUI I was asked to apply the changes, but I got an error.

Code

The mentioned file is not there. Locate has that file still listed under /usr/lib/systemd/system/omv-compose-term.service.

I am also not able to remove the package manually as a pre-removal-Skript is failing too.

I was able to solve my issue, by manually altering the pre-removal-Skript, so it would not give an error.

Since the service file was not there anymore, this would not brake anything anyway.

Did you have the test version installed prior? There is nothing in the pre-removal script about the unit file that should cause a failure. What did you remove? The older versions of the plugin used to install the service from the debian package. The newer versions create and remove it from saltstack. It seems like you had the older version.

bermuda · May 21st 2025

Yes, I tried the test version, because I often have to attach to my containers. And since it was removed from testing I had no way back to remove it. During update today morning there was no error. I decided to manually override the script and do a reinstall.

I don't know why that has anything to do with removing it. You don't need the .deb file to remove the package.

I don't think this will be a problem going forward. You just had an old testing version in a weird state. I've upgraded 5 systems that never had the testing version installed and had no issues.

I just wanted to go to the previous state with the service-file, do a clean uninstall (probably purge too) and a reinstall with the newer version.

But as I said, by tweaking the script I was able to uninstall the package and do a clean reinstall and the error was gone.

I was running the last test version and updated this more with no errors.

My update went also with no errors. But when I logged in and had to apply the changes, it gave me an error.

Can't tell anyone more than that. But all is working now, since I was finally able to purge the package and reinstall.

There really is no need to worry about. Only a handful of people had the test version installed. They would've had to still had the version installed that let the debian package create the unit file. So, no one else should have the problem.

Oh, by the way ... syntax highlighting in Dockerfile doesn't work anymore. It highlights only the first comment but that's it. This has been broken for some time. I know it was working under OMV6.

It is set to shell. https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…rfiles-form-page.yaml#L37

So, there is nothing I can do to "fix" it.

Thanks, I see.

Just figured out by accident that an indent by a blank space makes it work again. So it's not a total loss
