@nachoparker, All
Iām currently running NC15.0.4 under NCPi 1.3.6, but am being told that 1.5.1 is available for update. However if I try it (either via the panel or the command line) itās choking on the current dnsmasq install:

Setting up dnsmasq (2.76-5+deb9u2) ā¦
dpkg: error processing package dnsmasq (āconfigure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
dnsmasq
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
If I try to configure it via dpkg --configure I get the same error code 1 as well and the update bombs out.
Can anyone advise what I should try to unstick things and let the update happen properly?
maybe try purging dnsmasq
and installing it again. If you had it activated, run it from ncp-config
to re-apply your settings.
@nachoparker - Thanks for the reply. Tried that, and it fails with both apt-get and dpkg:

Same error code as before, and looks like some problem with systemd?
@nachoparker Do you have any further thoughts, or am I looking at nuking the container and setting up a new one (again) to sort this out?
Is there any easier way to force a container reinstall from the image?
if you are in docker you can try to stop and remove the container and starting it again (you could also pull the latest one).
Just in case, always make backups or a copy of your volume
@nachoparker - unfortunately that seems to have completely broken it.
Stopped and removed the container, built a new one and now iām getting this in the log:
Making /usr/local/bin persistent ā¦

Even removed the image and started afresh (but with same data stored on my USB drive as the original one) so looks like something has got very corrupted somewhere in there?
Am I forced to salvage what I can off the USB drive and then start totally afresh? Any other ideas to save my previous set-up?
Iāve removed my url from the log, but aside from that itās as seen.
well, normally the easiest is to restore a backup. You can also try to fix whatās broken if you have some linux knowledge.
You can change the following lines in /etc/apache2/sites-available/
files nextcloud.conf
and ncp.conf
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
Thanks
In the end I blew the container away again, renamed the whole data folder tree and then started a fresh container. Then moved the user data folder from the old tree into the new one and had it rescan and now Iāve got a working system again, fully up to date.
DNSMasq and LetsEncrypt are back up and working too, so at least for now things are good. Next will be to stop the whole server and back up the SD card just in case, and weāre good to go again.
