Problem

Trying to install an app through UMC stalls at 100% but the installation fails.

Environment

Looking at /var/log/univention/appcenter.log you will see a message like this:

  8279 actions.install                  20-03-05 16:23:22 [   ERROR]: Type or value exists: univentionAppInstalledOnServer: value #3 provided more than once

Solution

The attribute of univentionAppInstalledOnServer is already set to a value. It might be an issue with the the capitalization of the entry. However, delete the attribute value and restart the installation.

Step 1

Identify the object with univention-ldapsearch and use for the next steps the object for the app in question (here samba4, note take care to use the correct version):

univention-ldapsearch "univentionAppInstalledOnServer" dn
root@master:~# univention-ldapsearch "univentionAppInstalledOnServer=*" dn
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=multi,dc=ucs> (default) with scope subtree
# filter: univentionAppInstalledOnServer=*
# requesting: dn 
#

# nagios_4.3, nagios, apps, univention, multi.ucs
dn: univentionAppID=nagios_4.3,cn=nagios,cn=apps,cn=univention,dc=multi,dc=ucs

# samba4_4.7, samba4, apps, univention, multi.ucs
dn: univentionAppID=samba4_4.7,cn=samba4,cn=apps,cn=univention,dc=multi,dc=ucs

# samba4_4.10, samba4, apps, univention, multi.ucs
dn: univentionAppID=samba4_4.10,cn=samba4,cn=apps,cn=univention,dc=multi,dc=ucs


# search result
search: 3
result: 0 Success

Step 2

Get the attribute values of the object:

univention-ldapsearch "univentionAppID=samba4_4.10"
[...]
univentionAppID: samba4_4.10
univentionAppVersion: 4.10
univentionAppWebsiteMaintainer: [en] http://www.univention.com
univentionObjectType: appcenter/app
univentionAppServerRole: domaincontroller_master
univentionAppServerRole: domaincontroller_slave
univentionAppServerRole: domaincontroller_backup
univentionAppInstalledOnServer: master.multi.ucs
univentionAppInstalledOnServer: backup.multi.ucs
univentionAppInstalledOnServer: Slave.multi.ucs

Step 3

Modify the object by deleting the entry of the host with the issue:

root@master:~# ldapmodify -D "$( ucr get ldap/hostdn )" -y /etc/machine.secret <<EOR
dn: univentionAppID=samba4_4.10,cn=samba4,cn=apps,cn=univention,dc=multi,dc=ucs
changetype: modify
delete: univentionAppInstalledOnServer
univentionAppInstalledOnServer: Slave.multi.ucs
EOR

Step 4

Retry the installation on the server now:
univention-app install samba4
