Just a heads up that a recent âupdateâ by Debian Linux removed the application Koha my apache and data files apparently are fine.
How do I reinstall Koha without damaging or overwriting my data? If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know.
Just reinstall the koha-common package. Grab a backup if you want to be safe, but I'd expect it would be fine. If everything in /etc/ is untouched (which I'd expect) then it should just magically work again.
If you see the red âburstâ in the upper right hand corner, only do the safe install .. or else Are you able to provide me with more information? Perhaps the logs in /var/log/apt or so. I'd like to see what was going on there.
So would I. Was this an update, upgrade or [safe?] install? I'm not sure how Debian could have "removed the application Koha" - maybe backing up some .conf files under an "old" name? My own recent but limited experience is that the perl/CPAN involvement is the most time-consuming aspect of upgrading to the latest Koha release, but this could potentially be complicated if an OS upgrade (presumably Linux core) added further factors requiring intervention.
