Hi Ravi,
I will look into why the upgrade did not do an update as well. The
reason why you won't have been able to login is that various new fields
have been added to the user data object / record. These are mainly to
provide better security to temporarily lock accounts when there have
been too many failed password attempts in a set period of time.
I would generally say that EPrints from APT or YUM/DNF package
management is generally not advised for production repositories.
Packages are more intended for installing EPrints for testing and
evaluation purposes. If you have a fairly vanilla repository updates
are unlikely to cause any significant problems but the more bespoke your
repository the more likely upgrading through the package manager is to
cause you repository to fail. This is especially the case if parts of
the core codebase have been modified on your installation. Although the
package manager should warn you, if you choose not to use the latest
version of a file being installed, it is likely this will leave you with
an inconsistent version of EPrints that cannot be run.
Regards
David Newman
