Hi all,

The latest CAVE includes awips2-alertviz-14.4.1-7n12.x86_64 which has
solved a problem which prevents the package from updating itself.  Because
this package can not update itself, you will need to manually remove and
re-install the awips2-alertviz package on your CAVE workstation:

yum remove awips2-alertviz -y
yum clean all
rm -rf /awips2/alertviz/
yum install awips2-alertviz -y

All new installations from this point forward will be without this error.


the error you see when trying to upgrade is:
