Topic: Software Updates not installing in 7.2

[hroesler]

Hi there,

Hope someone can help with this: I do the software update install as instructed, reboot the server, but no updates are installed. What am I missing? Below is the report generated by Software Installer:

The system needs to be reconfigured after adding or removing software, or applying updates.

Please click on the Reconfigure button at the bottom of this page to start the reconfiguration process. An automatic reboot will be initiated as part of this reconfiguration process

Any suggestions are appreciated, I am new to Linux and SME Server, have been using it for 3 months now. I would like to learn more about its care and feeding.

Thanks!

Please always report bugs and potential bugs in the bug tracker. Thanks. As you will find out along the way of using SME Server "it should work out of the box, if it doesn't open a bug"

Thanks, I will do that.
