| Summary | 0011473: taler-merchant v1.6.x shows a taler-merchant-dbinit-gc.service systemd unit failure; upon upgrade?! | ||||

| Steps To Reproduce | Unclear, maybe appears like this upon upgrade from a prior version: to be tested in stage / check if this is reproducible. | ||||
| Additional Information | No distortion in ops visible so far, or from logs. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| This now could be reproduced on betel; this seems to happen, at least, going form taler-merchant v1.5.x to 1.6.x. On lifeline, it happened from v1.5.x to v1.6.0; on betel now, going from v1.5.x to v1.6.2 also shows systemctl --failed w/ this output. I didn't yet attempt if this also happens when freshly installing taler-merchant on a vanilla Debian (or other) system. No other steps were carried out despite upgrading -- and that solely using the mytops-admin-log.git/scripts/taler-merchant/upgrade.sh script. | |
| Please check if it still happens with the latest version. | |
| Doesn't seem reproducible. | |
