Group deletion impossible

Hello,

version 1.7.4,
Debian 9
a Win10 client, and a 1.6.2.7 console.

Yesterday, I migrated from version 1.5 to 1.6 and then to 1.7.4. Everything went very smoothly, including the agent update.
This morning, everything was perfect. However, I'm having a small problem with a package group that I want to update, but it's not deploying to the workstations (I added some software).

To rule out any issues, I'm doing a fresh 1.7.4 installation, still on Debian 9, on a new server. There are no clients attached (yet).
As a result, as soon as I create a package group, I'm unable to delete it.
There are no errors; it's just still there after reloading.
As soon as I modify my group, it creates a second group with the new version. Since it continues to display the first version,
I end up with multiple versions of a package group

on the production server. I have a group in version 9, I added two silly things, so I'm now on version 11, but no machine is running version 11.
I then check the log of a client:

critical package BASE(=11) not installed due to errors: EWaptDOwnloadError: Package File BASE.wapt not downloaded properly.
And indeed, https://myserver/wapt/BASE.wapt => 404.

I check on the server, the file is no longer present (probably because I tried to delete it?).
If I restore an old backup, it's there.

So the question is: how do I regenerate this file and why are the destroyed groups still present in the console (even though no resources are affected)?

Thank you in advance

. Sincerely.

Version 1.7.4

I migrated my 1.5 to 1.6 and then to 1.7.4 yesterday. Everything went very smoothly, agent update behind the scenes, perfect
this morning. A small problem with a package group that I want to update and which isn't deploying to the machines (added software).

To eliminate any doubt, I'm installing a fresh 1.7.4, still Debian 9, on a new server, no clients attached (for now).
As a result, as soon as I create a group, I'm unable to delete it.
No error message, it's just still there after reloading.
As soon as I modify my group, it creates a second group with the new version, but continues to display the first version,

If your console is still on version 1.6.2.7, you need to update it from your WAPT server. There were bugs related to uppercase/lowercase in group package names, but this is fixed in version 1.7.4.

Sincerely,

Denis
