Updated a few CE/Plus systems with some more advanced setups and all worked well except that I had to remove the Zabbix package prior to upgrade or the upgrade would fail. (it was the zabbix-agent52 package which appears to have be replaced by the zabbix-agent54 ) Once the update was complete a reinstall of the Zabbix (versions zabbix-agent54) package worked fine and the settings all populated. Here are the packages I tested so far that are working & configured: I have also tested a few systems using OpenVPN & policy routing and that worked well except that now the OpenVPN page no longer allows to disable instance with an assigned interface.

My only use case was one lab system where I would leave it configured and disabled until I needed it for some tutorials I would do so I don't really consider this much of an issue.
