Uprade from 7.8.4 to 7.10

[oxox]

Hello all,

I would like to upgrade OX App Suite to version 7.10 but I am missing a kind of step-by-step guidance.

When entering "apt-get dist-upgrade" it shows that most of the open-xchange* packages will be removed. Is that process correct? This never happend in the past, so I am bit confused whether it is correct or not.

Thanks in advance.

It's not correct if a lot of packages would be removed.
Typically I would expect that to happen if you do not have all used repositories pointing to the correct version and dependencies are inconsistent in the repos.
Please check all your repo locations carefully.

The problem quite likely can be fixed following the instructions documented here: https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?t...uite_7.10.0.29

Hello Woflgang, Carsten,

Thanks for your reply. I did a bit of detective work and think that the issue is not related to the dependencies etc.. It is rather linked to what Carsten suggested: missing OpenJDK 8 on Debian 8.

I followed on my Debian 8 server the instruction and installed OpenJDK8. However during the upgrade of Open-Xchange I got the following error message:

Installing new version of config file /opt/open-xchange/importCSV/open-xchange.properties ...

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance.

You have to either remove the openjdk-7 package or use update-alternatives to switch to the openjdk-8 version. I'd suggest to remove the openjdk-7 package.
