Tranquil IT Forum

Hello,

I discovered WAPT several months ago; it's very practical for managing a network of over 300 workstations on my own. However, I'm encountering a rather annoying problem: I can't delete a corrupted MS Office package; it remains constantly present in the console after deletion. I didn't install the server myself, and therefore I haven't studied how it works. Perhaps a missed step during its setup is preventing it from functioning correctly?

Good morning,

On which platform is the server installed? Windows? Linux?

If you wish to remove a package from the repository, delete the *.wapt file from the server via SSH/SCP access or via the file explorer.

The packages are located on the Linux server in: On a Windows server: Then restart the package scan using the "scan-packages.py" script:
If you wish to remove a package from a machine using the WAPT console, use the "uninstall" function and then "forget"

WAPT documentation is available at the address https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/

Sincerely,

Alexander

Okay, the package removal is fine; it's a Debian system. Regarding the scan using the "scan-packages.py" script, it's not located in the specified folder.

My apologies, the script is located in the following path: /opt/wapt/wapt-scanpackages.py

Which will therefore give us:

Hello

, I think you've duplicated my example msoffice package:

https://wapt.lesfourmisduweb.org/detail ... 1_all.wapt.

Therefore, I assume the msoffice package is causing an error on your machines.

You have several options to fix the problem:

- Repair the package so it works; several tutorials are already available on the forum and can help you.

- Forget the package from the console: click on a machine with the error, then right-click on the faulty package, and then click "Forget." Be careful, the package must not be assigned to the machine!

- Create a "fixup wapt" package to tell your machines to forget the package:
https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/CreationPaqu ... -un-paquet.


For your information, I've just added a security measure at the beginning of the package to prevent blind duplication. Duplicating this package might be a solution to eliminate the error on your machines, but the msoffice package will still be visible.

OK, problem solved, thank you very much for your quick response and sorry for not replying sooner, I was away for the weekend.
