ubuntu dpkg -i to upgrade appears to nuke existing databases

[client9]

In issue #45 I updated by downloading via the .deb file
dpkg -i newfile

It appears to reset my databases and the data is missing (it's ok since it's just test stuff but..) What is correct way of doing an upgrade here? Or is this a bug? a Doc-bug OR a nickg-bug (me)?

thanks!

That's definitely a bug. I'll try to repro it tomorrow and get back to you.

I can't repro the issue. You might've upgraded from an old version that was using /tmp/influxdb to store the db and now use /opt/influxdb/shared.

I'll go ahead and close the issue. If you're still seeing this issue with the latest packages, please reopen the issue with some info on how to repro it, such as old version, new version, log files, whatever that can help us debug it.

Thanks,
