I have been using mender-convert to create my image and up until the latest iteration all was fine, but with the latest img that was created, there is no mender-client.service in /lib/systemd/system. There is a mender-client.service.wants. I haven’t changed anything AFAIK I just run my shell script. Any ideas of where I can look for this? John ---

Hi @jjsteele, This is related to the incident on the Debian package repository. Please see [the workaround here](https://hub.mender.io/t/update-and-statement-on-the-mender-client-4-0-debian-package-incident/6497#mender-convert-4) for a way forwards. Greetz, Josef ---

Just to confirm, I just need to change MENDER\_CLIENT\_VERSION=“latest” to MENDER\_CLIENT\_VERSION=3.5.2 in configs/mender\_convert\_config? No “” needed? John ---
