Error upgrading to 0.28 - FAILED: service mailinabox stop

Hi,

Cross posed in the MIAB Github as well. Apologies, unsure which is the one to use.

Am trying to upgrade MIAB to 0.28 from 0.26.

I’ve logged on as root to the Ubuntu 14.04 box and downloaded the code as per the instructions in

https://mailinabox.email/maintenance.html#upgrade

I initially had a problem with the MIAB box complaining about stopping spamd. This appears to be the same issue as #781. If I look in /var/log/syslog I see

Aug 5 10:38:54 box spampd[1387]: Couldn’t unlink “/var/run/spampd.pid” [Permission denied]
I also see

Aug 5 10:38:01 box postgrey[1299]: Couldn’t unlink “/var/run/postgrey.pid” [Permission denied
which suggest something isn’t quite right.

I the rebooted the box and started the install again and the spamd error went away but I then get

FAILED: service mailinabox stop


I’ve rebooted the box twice now and started the install twice but I still have the error.

Any help welcomed here as I’m unsure what the state of the upgrade is.

Thanks

Rob
