[SOLVED] Problem renaming a package

Hello,

I'm using WAPT 2.5.4.15342 on Windows Server 2016.

I'm having a display issue when selecting packages to apply to a PC.

I renamed a package "sentinel-agent" to "sentinel-agent-ADM" in my repository. This operation duplicated the package (one with ADM and one without).

I then deleted the package without "ADM," but since then, when I try to apply this package to a PC, the old "sentinel-agent" still appears alongside the others (see screenshot).

The problem persists even if I create a new package with the same name (sentinel-agent) and then delete it.
How can I remove it from the package assignment display on a PC?

Hello Christophe,

It appears in the list as long as it exists in the inventory of at least one workstation.

In fact, the package still appears to allow for conflict detection if needed.

Once your entire system has fully migrated to your two packages -ADM -EDU and the old package no longer exists in any inventory, it will disappear automatically.

Regards,

Denis

Hi Denis,

Unfortunately, that's not it, because the package was only installed on one test PC.

I even uninstalled WAPT from that PC and deleted the PC and the WAPT console configuration, and my "ghost" package is still there!

Do you have any other ideas?

Hi Christophe,

I just spoke with a colleague about this. The behavior I described was correct, but there was a bug that allowed the reference to the old package to still remain in the database. This has been fixed in the latest version.

Best regards,

Denis

Hello Denis,

Thank you for this information.

I just have to wait for the corrected version to be released online.

Have a good day,
Christophe
