Missing jcryption_keypair file, error during upgrade to 1.9.4-3+jammy

[bayardo.rivas]

I got this error again after upgrading from version 1.9.4-1 to 1.9.4-3. The messages is:

.....reduced the number of log lines to read only the important lines

If I check installation, the package is installed but it is not configured:

dpkg -l | grep openlitespeed

When I try to configure the package:

sudo dpkg --configure openlitespeed
Setting up openlitespeed (1.9.4-3+jammy) ...
/usr/bin/md5sum: /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/jcryption_keypair: No such file or directory

Checked with ChatGPT and looks like this is something inherited that is not used in new versions. I created an empty file and it complete the --configuration of the package, but it doesn't make sense to me.

sudo touch /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/jcryption_keypair
sudo chown lsadm:lsadm /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/jcryption_keypair
sudo chmod 600 /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/jcryption_keypair

sudo dpkg --configure openlitespeed
dpkg: error processing package openlitespeed (--configure):
package openlitespeed is already installed and configured
Errors were encountered while processing:
openlitespeed

And then looks like installed and configured:

dpkg -l | grep openlitespeed
ii openlitespeed 1.9.4-3+jammy amd64 High Performance, lightweight, open source HTTP server

Thanks for any comment.

I think I found the possible reason is that you have jcryption_keypair.dpkg, but jcryption_keypair and cuasing the issue.
Could you share the output with the following command?

ls -la /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/jcryption_keypair*
dpkg-divert --list | grep jcryption

We'll enhance the package logic to prevent similar issues in the future.
