When trying to install an app you are getting an error:
univentionAppInstalledOnServer: value #0 provided more than once

Environment

You get a traceback similar to this one:

Solution

For some reason the app is already registered to be installed on the server and a second installation is not possible.

Step 1

Identify on which servers the app is installed. Shown here with “letsencrypt” as example:

root@master:~# univention-ldapsearch -LLL "univentionAppId=letsencrypt"
dn: univentionAppID=letsencrypt_1.2.2-8,cn=letsencrypt,cn=apps,cn=univention,dc=ppa,dc=local
univentionAppWebsite: [en] https://github.com/diafygi/acme-tiny
objectClass: univentionApp
objectClass: top
objectClass: univentionObject
univentionAppCategory: Administration
univentionAppDescription: [de] Zertifikate von Let's Encrypt in ihren UCS-Servern
univentionAppDescription: [en] Certificates issued by Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority in your UCS server
univentionAppName: [en] Let's Encrypt
univentionAppIcon:
[...]
univentionAppID: letsencrypt_1.2.2-8
univentionAppVersion: 1.2.2-8
univentionAppContact: feedback@univention.de
univentionObjectType: appcenter/app
univentionAppServerRole: domaincontroller_master
univentionAppServerRole: memberserver
univentionAppServerRole: domaincontroller_slave
univentionAppServerRole: domaincontroller_backup
univentionAppWebsiteVendor: [en] https://univention.com/
univentionAppInstalledOnServer: master.multi.ucs
univentionAppInstalledOnServer: backup.multi.ucs
univentionAppInstalledOnServer: slave.multi.ucs

Here, we want to install the app on the slave server but according to the flag univentionAppInstalledOnServer it is already installed. Which is not!

Step 2

Re-write the flag indicating the installation state.

root@ucs:~# ldapmodify -D "$( ucr get ldap/hostdn )" -y /etc/machine.secret <<EOR
dn: univentionAppID=letsencrypt_1.2.2-8,cn=letsencrypt,cn=apps,cn=univention,dc=multi,dc=ucs
changetype: modify
delete: univentionAppInstalledOnServer
univentionAppInstalledOnServer: slave.multi.ucs
EOR

Step 3

Retry the installation of the app. It should succeed now.
