Description

When installing OS security updates that were released before 15 July 2020, Exasol upgrades can fail after the license server is rebooted. This can happen when upgrading to 6.2.0. Upgrading to other 6.2.x versions are unaffected.

Workaround

If the upgrade has not yet been performed

Either

Upgrade directly to the latest 6.2.x release instead of updating to 6.2.0 first. Once you've updated to 6.2.x, you can install the security patch. (recommended)

Update to a newer OS security update version before performing the upgrade to 6.2.0 (at least OS update 202007151020)

If the upgrade already failed

Log into the license server as root and remove the extraneous files that cause the update to fail

find /lib/firmware -name '* *' -delete

Then start the upgrade again.
