Updating from 18.47 to 18.49 will show 18.48 as current installed version

[Sopor]

I was running version 18.47-git-201705032200 and i used the force update and after the update i could see at the bottom of the screen 18.48 but the Dashboard will now show 18.49 after the update.

Is this really correct?

It's not. I will try to reproduce it. Looks like cache issue.

Hi,

I tried two times and I couldn't reproduce this issue. It's practically impossible as the data is derived from the updated version of the theme by reading a file.

In File Manager, you could go to /usr/share/webmin/authentic-theme (as far as I remember you're on Ubuntu) and try to search through files' contents for the match 18.48. In case it's found then, it's mystery cache issue.

Other than that, try hitting force-update one more time.

Script works straight forward way, in case rm and mv commands are not executed as expected, I can not do much more here.

I have 4 Webmin and i have updated three of them so far and they all showed 18.48. The fourth i was waiting for your fix to verify it was working.

I'm sorry, but there will be no fix this time, as I don't know what to fix. Besides, it's not critical at all and doesn't worth bothering. Please try what I asked in the message above.

However, I will keep it in mind for the future.

But what should it show here? The updated version or the previous version? I'm at 18.47-git-201705041727 but the VERSION.txt will show 18.48 and version will show 18.47-git-201705041727.

First of all, it's not correct that you have different versions right now on your system. It should be either 18.47* or 18.48* for both files.

At second, it's not important what versions are there if you do force update.

Can you please run second time force upgrade, what do you get?

In the end, no worries about this. When things come to server side, it's pretty straight forward. One more advice, if it still doesn't work (which I doubt), try using console script and check what it says and what the outcome will be. 😉

This is not the first time i have seen this but i didn't know if it should show the installed version or the previous version. Sometimes it is a bit hard to understand how you coders are thinking 😄

[iliajie]

😁 It's written Currently installed version is xx.xx - it sounds very concrete to me. If you want to rephrase it some better way, please let me know. I'm open-minded person.

Now i did a force update to 18.49-1 but the message was showing 18.49

This is a bug, will fix it in 18.49-2. Thanks.
