Description

After following the documentation here to upgrade Rudder to 6.0 from 5.0.8 (https://docs.rudder.io/reference/6.0/installation/upgrade/debian.html), we end up with an failling installation due to the rudder-webapp postscript exiting with 1.

This is due to the line 78 of the script '/opt/rudder/share/package-scripts/rudder-webapp-postinst' :

grep "^inventory" "${INVENTORY_PROP}" >> "${RUDDER_PROP}"

As no line starting with inventory exists in /opt/rudder/etc/inventory-web.properties , grep return an exit code of 1 and stop the postinstall script.
Appending '|| true' to the line allows to move forward and finish the installation, but might create other problems.
