- Wappler downloads and then tries to install the .deb file.
- Wappler then restarts in the previous version. No error message is thrown.

if you run in the terminal:
rpm -qa | grep wappler
what do you see?
rpm -qa | grep wappler
wappler-7.0.1-2.x86_64
I see that the .rpm is installed but thats because I manually installed it by downloading the .rpm and installing it with 'dnf install wappler-7.0.1-2.x86_64.rpm'.
The error occurs when I try and do an upgrade from within Wappler. It downloads the .deb and then tries to run dpkg even though the installation was originally done using a .rpm and the system package manager is rpm on a Fedora (RedHat) system.
Simply put Wappler is detecting the wrong architecture. Downloading the wrong package and then trying to use the wrong package manager for the system.
Here is the logging snippet from attempting to upgrade to 7.1.0.
