      Hello,

      When I tried to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.2 via Dashboard, Console or via shell it failed. I found a solution to my problem and I thought I'd post it here if it helps someone :).

      I have VPN-connections setup on my box and openvpn-client-export package failed to upgrade/wasn't installed/smth reason. See the log from the Shell upgrade.

      Solution: I went to System / Package Manager / Available Packages and installed "openvpn-client-export", after that i could invoke installers both from the dashboard and the console. Upgrade went smooth and everything is up and running.

      Regards
