Installation

Problem: .deb Upgrade Fails File Overwrite

Upgrading the Flow Data collector to the latest version on Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, reports an error when trying to overwrite a file.

You can safely overwrite package files. Other files, that contain user-defined data or parameters, require you to restore your backup files after the upgrade.

Note:

In some cases, the /etc/juniper/app/appid.yml file cannot be overwritten.

Solution

  1. Backup your /etc/juniper directory.
  2. Use the command --force-overwrite when running the install command.
