Hi James,
Yes you were correct with you amendment to the flavours/pub_lib/inc.
Based on the added fields this sounds like a 3.4.3 to 3.4.4 upgrade.
Therefore, check for information at:
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.eprints.org%2Fw%2FEPrints_3.4.4&data=05%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Cfcc55e421653433b7f5b08dac3f547cb%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638037755492907739%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=2fU4vZqh8cDoBB2GIEfafKVTCW5YV7IbUOL%2BleJPsFY%3D&reserved=0
However, the fix I suggested is the only know new dependency on a 3.4.3
-> 3.4.4 upgrade. However, if you do find any others let me know and I
will update this wiki page.
The issue you look to be reporting now seems to be a permissions one. I
guess there is a chance that the OS package upgrade has changed the
permissions on some directories which prevents files from being
copied. This is not something I have noted before but it is worth
checking the
/usr/share/eprints/archives/liverpool_rdm/html/en/style/images/
directory and its ancestor directories. Alternatively, it could be an
SELinux file contexts issue. However, that seems unlikely, as if you
knowingly had SELinux enabled, you would probably know that on any
upgrade you need to check the audit log of any thinking SELinux may be
now blocking. The EPrints OS packages do not contain their own SELinux
policies. Mainly due to how much EPrints can be customised, (e.g.
Bazaar plugins, ingredients and bespoke code for the archive). This
would be near impossible to write an SELinux policy that would cover all
bases, whilst also not be being overly lax.
Regards
David Newman
