Hi,
There was a small trouble in the scripts that generate the community build,
which caused variable names to get “lost”.
The main CE archive has been updated with the fix.
But any other installation can be fixed by applying a patch that
replaces this file:
sudo wget -O /opt/observium/includes/community.inc.php

Hi team,
Thanks again for releasing another CE version. I run this in my home
lab so I always appreciate your updates when you are able to do this.
I followed the steps as provided on your document site
(https://docs.observium.org/updating), as I have done previously
without issue.
When I ran "/opt/observium/discovery.php -u" I got the following message.
Any guidance when you have time would be a big help please.
