Hi,

I’m trying to up grade chef-manage to the latest version to mitigate against the security issue here,  
[Chef Manage 2.4.5 Security Release](https://discourse.chef.io/t/chef-manage-2-4-5-security-release/10599)

I’ve run the follow commands as root to upgrade, with chef-manage\_2.4.5-1\_amd64.deb residing in /root/packages  
chef-server-ctl install chef-manage --path /root/packages  
chef-server-ctl reconfigure  
chef-manage-ctl reconfigure

The output of version-manifest.txt still says 2.4.3  
cat /opt/chef-manage/version-manifest.txt  
chef-manage 2.4.3

Component Installed Version Version GUID Overridden From  
chef-manage 2.4.3  
chef-manage-changelog 2.4.3  
chef-manage-cookbooks 2.4.3  
chef-manage-ctl 2.4.3

If I try run the upgrade again it says already at the latest version.

Any ideas of how to fix this or actually install the latest version?

Thanks

Turns out the documentation doesn’t work but using dpkg to install does.

- sudo dpkg -i chef-manage\_2.5.15-1\_amd64.deb
- sudo chef-manage-ctl reconfigure
- sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure
