SBC upgrade to 3.4 did not go smooth

Nxt-1

Yesterday I took the time to upgrade my Duet 3 MB machine from 3.3 to 3.4. Since I am running it in SBC mode (with a Jetson Nano), I upgraded using apt. However, due to the order in which the different packages get installed and configured, a dependency arises. At least in my case it did.

Here's the therminal output I got:

Setting up duetcontrolserver (3.4.0) ...

Configuration file '/opt/dsf/conf/config.json'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.

@nxt-1 It looks like the DuetWebServer package failed to execute the postinst script. Can you confirm using journalctl that DWS could be started when the installation occurred? If not, try to disable the service for now and resume the upgrade:

sudo systemctl disable duetwebserver
sudo apt upgrade duetwebserver duetsoftwareframework duetwebcontrol duetpluginservice reprapfirmware

Perhaps there is something up with your http.json that worked with 3.3 (Kestrel + .NET 5) but not with 3.4 (Kestrel + .NET 6).

@chrishamm I can't really provide any more info I am afaid. Even before I posted the original thread, I already fixed the issue with a mixture of --reconfigures and reinstalls. I mainly posted to raise awareness in case more people encountered the issue.
