Update package database -> TASK ERROR: worker panicked: unknown type.

[OsvaldoP]

Hello!

Think since update PVE8, PBS3 we get error "worker panicked: unknown" from dly update check on PVE and PBS.
We are using the "old way" sendmail to send mails to root@pam . There was no time to check the new notification module :-( .

Journal reports "panicked at 'context for proxmox-notify has not been set yet', /usr/share/cargo/registry/proxmox-notify-0.4.0/src/context/mod.rs:50:32" but I'm not able to" , but I'm not able to find what we have to change/correct this.
Does anybody know solve this problem?

Thanks for the report! Seems like the proxmox-daily-update program is missing the calls to initialize the notification system.
I'll prepare a fix as soon as I can

Are you sure that you also have the same problem also on PVE? As far as I can tell the problem should only affect Proxmox Backup Server.

Hy Lukas!

Sorry, my mistake! I thought I saw this error also on pve, but it was a backup error.

Thanks for making a fix
