Thanks, Luca, for providing these packages.

I upgraded from 3.8.1 to 3.8.2 using the command above and it went well.

I encountered just two minor issues:

1. my systemd unit file (/var/gerrit/bin/gerrit.service) was clobbered.  The previous changes I had made there (to make it work) were lost.
2. in gerrit.config, the port number I had given in httpd.listenUrl was modified (it was changed to 8443).  I discovered that after I was unable to reach the gerrit web server in my browser.

Hi James,

Can you report the issues on issues.gerritcodereview.com?

Thanks.

Luca.

[James Muir]

I reported the first issue only:

https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/issues/302368132 

For the second issue, I see now that it may have been caused by the fact that the sym-link /etc/init.d/gerrit did not exist on my system (I removed it when I switched to using systemd).

That breaks the dpkg install process since the script "preinst" fails to shutdown the gerrit server (so then "postinst" fails).

If you don't have /etc/init.d/gerrit on your system, then you need to manually stop the gerrit server before doing the upgrade (that is what I did to get the install to complete successfully).

Note that I stopped using the gerrit rc script because it no longer works for me (on ubuntu 22.04).
