Rocketchatctl update command fails

[adsellor]

Description:

When running rocketchattcl update and check-update commands I get an error
/usr/local/bin/rocketchatctl: line 897: [: 3.1.0: unary operator expected

Steps to reproduce:

1. Get last version of rocketchatctl
2. Run rocketchatctl update or rocketchatctl check-update

Same issue here... on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

Current update available for RocketChat server: from 3.0.4 to 3.1.1.

~# rocketchatctl update
Updates could be risky, you can use the backup option # rocketchatctl backup, to create a backup of the rocketchat database first. Please check that you have enough space in your system to store the backup.
/usr/local/bin/rocketchatctl: line 900: [: 3.1.1: unary operator expected
Could not determine if updates available for RocketChat server.

After few minutes i try again and it's work...

It's an issue with https://releases.rocket.chat/latest/info - if it responds with "Service Unavailable" (for me: right now) which can't be compared to the current version and the updater fails because it can't handle the server error.

I also get the following error:
/usr/local/bin/rocketchatctl: line 900: [: 3.3.3commit: unary operator expected

Output of 'curl https://releases.rocket.chat/latest/info':

{"tag":"3.3.3","commit":"f9553e4d8f6b8042a0fabbbaf9c931cc1b28155b","key":"build/rocket.chat-3.3.3.tgz","etag":"0d673e54bb26bd0c22e53554f7a53c8c-20","count":8052}

Same issue here trying to update from 3.5.0 to 3.5.1. Any advice on how we can safely update RocketChat to the latest version? Thanks.

Edit: Tried using rocketchatctl update again and it worked the 3rd time. Nothing changed on my end.

If this happens to anyone else can you execute:
echo $(curl https://releases.rocket.chat/latest/info 2>/dev/null |grep -w tag |awk -F: '{print $2}'|awk -F'"' '{print $2}')

This is what’s being executed: https://github.com/RocketChat/install.sh/blob/master/rocketchatctl#L754

Which is what is looked at on https://github.com/RocketChat/install.sh/blob/master/rocketchatctl#L900

After running these and waiting a few minutes, the server became responsive again. I initially got into this mess by running the update:
