Upgraded to Expedition 1.1.52.1, Lost the Best Practices functionality; can this be reinstalled?

tayloa29 — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 22:20:13 GMT

The upgrade ran OK, but I think it required Python 3.7 to get the Best Practices upgraded and since it could not find the package, I belive it uninstalled that code. Is there a way to install the Best Practices code to match my Expedition version 1.1.52.1 ?

Thanks in advance,

Ashley Taylor

My issue is the same.

There seems to be two problems.

Python, the "apt_get" module is missing (I did find a kind of workaround linking the existing apt_get.* to simply apt_get.so)

But the other problem is a coding issue (seen in /tmp/error)

Notice: Undefined index: template_extra in /var/www/html/bin/configurations/output/output_function.php on line 148

HELP

All,

Ensure you do perform this step, I did miss it and it fixed my BPA

bash /var/www/html/OS/BPA/updateBPA306.sh

This step is part of the problem. It specifically calls out python 3.7 which is not a part of the ubuntu 16.04 release. The latest version in that release is 3.5

The script will check the version of Python installed, and takes a different action whether it is under 3.7 or not.
