Can't view historical version in the german language

Help / Discuss
#1

I am new to XWiki and I have a rather fresh installation, following this guide:
https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-install-xwiki-on-ubuntu-22-04/

I’ve installed XWiki Standard Flavor for sub-wikis and have two languages activated: English and German. The english version works just fine, but when I switch to the german version and try to view the history of a page (something like http://richard.weintraub.de/xwiki/wiki/government/view/Main/?rev=7.1) the following error occurs:

When I try to update Base Flavor Application 16.1.0 it gives me this message:

Dependency [org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore-[16.1.0]] is not compatible with core extension feature [org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore/16.2.0] ([org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-legacy-oldcore/16.2.0])

What can I do to fix this?

#2

Why ? If you installed the flavor you should have the right version of the base flavor already.

According to the error, you are trying to install Base Flavor Application 16.1.0 on a XWiki 16.2.0.

#3

On Global Administration: Updater there is:

Invalid extensions
The following extensions from Home have to be upgraded or downgraded in order to work with your current distribution: 
XWiki Standard Flavor 16.2.0 Installed version 16.1.0 is not valid

So I go for Continue:

It runs for quit some time and displays “Installed version 16.1.0 is not valid” above the Upgrade-Button.

At the tab “Progress” there is an install log and one line is red:

Connect to nexus.xwiki.org:443 [nexus.xwiki.org/92.222.135.198] failed: Connect timed out

At the tab “Dependencies” it shows:

This extension depends on:

    XWiki Standard Common Application16.2.0 (in wiki Home) Incompatible with installed version 16.1.0
    Wiki Application16.2.0 (in wiki Home) Incompatible with installed version 16.1.0
    Menu Application16.2.0 (in wiki Home) Incompatible with installed version 16.1.0
    Mail Resending Application16.2.0 (in wiki Home) Incompatible with installed version 16.1.0
#4

This is a temporary problem with nexus.xwiki.org, looks like you tried when it was in a bad shape (which indeed was the case lately).

#5

Thanks for the answer, that update problem is fixed now.

Now there is still the problem I stated at the start: I can’t view some history pages as it gives me the error that it failed to execute the template.

#6

This is this known bug. When a revision of a certain number exists only in a translation, you cannot view that revision in the translation.

Thanks! That explains it.
