For instance, migrating from 12 to 13 required all those scripts (10% failed). Upgrade from 13 to 13.1 has a bug that corrupts the password file. By using the button in the Admin Console, the system will figure out which scripts should be run to avoid all these problems. The biggest issue was that, except a mention in release notes, I didn't advertise this fact. Given the millions of times we asked everyone to use pkg update/upgrade, OS version 13 was moved to 13.1 and thus corrupted the password file. The fix is rather simple using what was described by @mwester. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience. With kind regards, Michel @Michel Kohanim can you give us the SSH command that corresponds to clicking the Upgrade Packages button in the console? I've got to imagine it's calling a script in the OS that we could just call directly. It's so much of a better user experience running an upgrade via the console, it allows us too see what's going on, if there are any errors, and when it's completed. The UX experience of clicking a button only for the UI to entirely disappear and then have us sit around next to our devices hoping to hear a series of beeps is not user friendly at all (as noted many have their devices in places that aren't physically accessible or have issues hearing the beeps). 2

From what I see it basically does the same thing as pushing the hidden button one time (Update Packages) but I could be wrong. I dont think he wants us to SSH anymore See the email they just sent out.

If instead we were told we could run something like "sudo update-polisy" which did all the correct things in the correct order I think everyone would be happy. 2
