Issue/Introduction

Running /usr/share/cb/cbupgrade to complete upgrade requires reconciling file changes for cb.cron.template: 
The installer has detected local changes in the following configuration
files:

/etc/cb/cron/cb.cron.template
A diff of cb.cron.template and cb.cron.template.rpmnew shows different lines in the old file

Environment

  • EDR: All Versions

Cause

Custom configuration was added to cb.cron.template in a previous version.

Resolution

  1. Compare the content of cb.cron.template to cb.cron.template.rpmnew to find changes
    diff cb.cron.template cb.cron.template.rpmnew
  2. Make desired changes in cb.cron.template.rpmnew
  3. Swap the cb.cron.template and cb.cron.template.rpmnew files
    mv cb.cron.template cb.cron.template.bk
    mv cb.cron.template.rpmnew cb.cron.template
  4. Complete upgrade
    /usr/share/cb/cbupgrade
