      Do not know if this is the appropriate forum
      I do not know if it's just me or everyone

      But little note
      when the System upgrades itself For example from version 2.1.1 to version 2.1.2
      It reinstalls the packages

      I for example have the package havp
      And havp to the Dashboard (havp_alerts.widget)

      The problem is when upgrading

      While the system reinstalls packages

      The system installs the packages of the Dashboard First

      And not the packages themselves

      So what happens that during installation
      The package looks for a directory that does not exist

      Then not showing correctly (in the Dashboard)
      And then at the end you have to install it again
      The package of Dashboard

      Hope you understand me
      English it's not my native language

        I do understand your issue, but I have not seen it myself.

        What specific packages are you having this issue with?

          The Dashboard is the default screen after login to the box, so how can it be a "package"?  ???

          …with no installation (embedded or notebook/server) I ever had to install a package for Dashboard...

            There are packages that add ONLY widgets to the dashboard, and depend on other packages to function/provide data to display.

              What specific packages are you having this issue with?

              It happened to me every time there was an upgrade
              I'm talking about packages

              "Dashboard Widget: HAVP "
              "Dashboard Widget: Antivirus Status "

              There was also a package
              "Dashboard Widget: Snort Status "

              But the package does not exist anymore
              Probably implemented it in snort

              In any case what happens is
              During the installation

              Computer installs the packages of the Dashboard first
              And the packages of the Software itself later

              instead of

              First the software packages and then the packages of the Dashboard

              The only uncomfortable thing here
              Is that at the end the upgrade

              Need to reinstall the Dashboard packages
              That are not displayed correctly

              Need to simply to set it in such a way
              When upgrading
              First install software packages
              And then the packages of the Dashboard

              This is not a problem
              It's more like something that should straighten (tune)
              Next time there is an upgrade or something like that

                Yeah, makes sense. Sounds like they need to implement a Depends On system.

                  This problem is still not resolved
                  Maybe that's why antivirus does not work

                  During the upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.2
                  The program installs the Antivirus extension
                  before the Antivirus

                  And it gives an error message
                  Does not recognize the path
