Update doesn't update

I have a neat / interesting little problem. if i try to update the version 21.0.4-> 0.5 the checks perform all is done but no change happens. i tried the web-interface also, it does the same: all checks are marked allready (at the moment i start) , the update runs, reload and i’m still on the old version.

It is like an dry-run.

Sounds frustrating. Could you please provide some more stats, such as PHP version and how nc was originally installed: Docker, Snap, etc.? See the support category template for helpful info you can share.

Not frustrating interesting.

This instance is a vServer , an Ubuntu, directly installed non docker/snap/jail variant.
PHP at CLI 7.4 , at Web 8.0.10 with an apache (version hidden/tomcat). also tried different php versions same result.

Have a look at this topic. Looks similar to me…

nice find.

Jepp, i tried that and after renaming (i don’t deleted them for compare) both .step files the updater becomes working normal.
