aprsc 2.1.18: Fixed systemd service files for deb packages

[Heikki Hannikainen]

aprsc 2.1.18 is now available.

Upgrading on Debian / Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot (to run the new kernel if it was updated)

Upgrading on Fedora:

sudo dnf upgrade
sudo reboot (to run the new kernel if it was updated)

FreeBSD:

Changes in 2.1.18:

* Added the missing aprsc-chroot.service file back which went missing in
2.1.17 when I switched to use the standard dh_installsystemd
debianhelper script for packaging the service files.

If you've upgraded to 2.1.17 on Debian or Ubuntu, do upgrade to 2.1.18 -
otherwise aprsc might not start up after a reboot.

Since upgrade to 2.1.18, my server won't start up. Anyone else with this issue?

Hi,

Check the log file, /opt/aprsc/logs/aprsc.log and the config file
/opt/aprsc/etc/aprsc.conf - the end of the log file should say what's
wrong.

There was one report about the config file aprsc.conf getting replaced
with the default one during upgrade. It didn't happen to me, though, when
I upgraded.

If this is indeed happening, please report which version you're upgrading
from, and which distribution & distro version are you using?

It's probably good advice now to take a backup copy of aprsc.conf before
upgrading.

Hi Hessu, 

Thanks for your reply.. This is in the logfile:

2024/06/09 11:17:04.169291 aprsc[46045:7f7e72ec4040] NOTICE: Starting up version 2.1.18-gce57698, instance id fqqib1us ...

2024/06/09 11:17:04.169426 aprsc[46045:7f7e72ec4040] CRIT: Initial configuration failed.

Magicbadness makes it clear the config was deleted indeed. Luckily it's not hard to set up again.. So it's up and running again. 

FYI; I upgraded from 2.1.15 to 2.1.18.. I missed some steps I guess..
