Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):
OpenSearch 2.16
Debian 12
Describe the issue:
I am facing an issue when uninstalling/reinstalling OpenSearch 2.16 on Debian 12
I follow the install instructions (apt package thru repository), all appears correct. If I uninstall the package and attempt to install again, I get an error.
Issue is reproducible on a Debian 12 container
Install procedure ( docker run --rm -it debian:12 /bin/bash )
# apt update && apt install -y lsb-release ca-certificates curl gnupg2 openjdk-17-jre-headless iproute2 curl
# curl -o- https://artifacts.opensearch.org/publickeys/opensearch.pgp | gpg --dearmor --batch --yes -o /usr/share/keyrings/opensearch-keyring
# echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/opensearch-keyring] https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch/2.x/apt stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opensearch-2.x.list
# apt-get update
# env OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD="SuperSecretP@ssw0rd++" apt-get install -y opensearch
I get the install confirmation, with instructions on how to enable and configure the service, so it appears all is ok
If I remove and install again, I get the following error
# apt remove -y opensearch
# rm -rf /var/log/opensearch* /var/lib/opensearch* /etc/opensearch* /usr/share/opensearch*
# env OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD="@SuperSecretPassw0rd++" apt-get install -y opensearch
