Reinstallation with apt-get on RPI, Karaf doesnt react.

IRT the known hosts changing:

I think this can be checked before the uninstall completes, although because the file isn't generated by apt or by openHAB the uninstaller shouldn't touch it. Only advise that it exists and that it it's advisable to remove when reinstalling. So:

1. On uninstall check if a known host exists at [localhost]:8443
2. If it does send a message to the user mentioning this.

I also agree that a mention of this problem should be in the docs, it will affect manual users as well as automatic users as soon as Karaf is changed and ssh is used to connect to console. @ThomDietrich, do you have any thoughts on this?

Hi @Josar, after some trials I came to the conclusion that it would not be viable to do anything during uninstallation about this because:

1. The known-hosts file is produced by ssh tools, not by openHAB. And implementations of this change between versions.
2. The ssh command wouldn't have necessarily been sent from the localhost.
3. openHAB is installed as a program but the known-hosts file belongs to the user, it would be difficult to go through any user who may have used ssh and find a known-hosts file.
4. Perhaps the most appropriate way of connecting to the console is by using the openhab-cli console command that makes it's way to openHAB 2.2.0 soon.

I will be sure to set expectations by updating the docs about what may happen though, and hope that this resolves the issue for you.

Kind Regards,
Ben
