[7.075] Windows renames upgrade file [NOTABUG]

Not an Astaro problem, but something to be aware of. Windows renames the u2d-sys-7.075.tgz.gpg file to u2d-sys-7.075.tgz.gz

If the user is unaware and tries to upload, it will result in error: Extension not allowed, please upload a file with extension .tgz.gpg

Simply renaming the file back to its original name in Windows explorer prior to uploading to the ASG will solve the problem.

I used firefox to download and did not have this issue. What browser were you using and what version of windows?

I had the same issue. The update wouldnt take even when I renamed it. Eventually I just snagged it from the ftp and it worked fine.

IE has always tended to have this problem... not sure why though.
