Environment
Micro Focus Filr 4.x
Situation
The upgrade from Filr 4.0 to 4.1 fails with the following observations:
- The update progress window appears for a few seconds, then stops.
- When going to the "Needed Patches" list, the 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and 4.0.3 updates still show as needing to be applied.
- The /var/log/zypp/history log doesn't show any entries which correlate to the time of the attempted upgrade.
Note 2: The Search Appliance server updates without issue. This problem is observed only with the Filr Appliance servers.
