The update works. But there are a few Java backtrace during startup : 2019-04-01 10:01:37.032 WARNING: Could not create font sans-serif 2019-04-01 10:01:37.035 WARNING: Could not load SVG jar:file:/usr/share/java/josm.jar!/images/presets/service/internet_cafe.svg java.lang.NullPointerException at com.kitfox.svg.Tspan.appendToShape(Tspan.java:281) at com.kitfox.svg.Text.buildText(Text.java:362) at com.kitfox.svg.Text.build(Text.java:266) at com.kitfox.svg.Text.updateTime(Text.java:610) at com.kitfox.svg.Group.updateTime(Group.java:313) at com.kitfox.svg.Group.updateTime(Group.java:313) at com.kitfox.svg.SVGRoot.updateTime(SVGRoot.java:403) at com.kitfox.svg.SVGDiagram.updateTime(SVGDiagram.java:243) at com.kitfox.svg.SVGUniverse.loadSVG(SVGUniverse.java:616) at com.kitfox.svg.SVGUniverse.loadSVG(SVGUniverse.java:468) at com.kitfox.svg.SVGUniverse.loadSVG(SVGUniverse.java:445) at org.openstreetmap.josm.tools.ImageProvider.getIfAvailableLocalURL(ImageProvider.java:1171) at org.openstreetmap.josm.tools.ImageProvider.getIfAvailableImpl(ImageProvider.java:963) at org.openstreetmap.josm.tools.ImageProvider.getResource(ImageProvider.java:710) at org.openstreetmap.josm.tools.ImageProvider.getResourceAsync(ImageProvider.java:745) at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.tagging.presets.TaggingPreset.setIcon(TaggingPreset.java:226) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor6.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at org.openstreetmap.josm.tools.XmlObjectParser$Parser.setValue(XmlObjectParser.java:157) at org.openstreetmap.josm.tools.XmlObjectParser$Parser.startElement(XmlObjectParser.java:91) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(AbstractSAXParser.java:509) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.java:374) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDriver.next(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:2784) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl.next(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:602) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.next(XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.java:112) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:505) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:842) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:771) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:141) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(AbstractSAXParser.java:1213) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser.parse(SAXParserImpl.java:643) at org.openstreetmap.josm.tools.XmlObjectParser.start(XmlObjectParser.java:257) at org.openstreetmap.josm.tools.XmlObjectParser.start(XmlObjectParser.java:273) at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.tagging.presets.TaggingPresetReader.readAll(TaggingPresetReader.java:184) at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.tagging.presets.TaggingPresetReader.readAll(TaggingPresetReader.java:354) at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.tagging.presets.TaggingPresetReader.readAll(TaggingPresetReader.java:384) at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.tagging.presets.TaggingPresetReader.readFromPreferences(TaggingPresetReader.java:423) at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.tagging.presets.TaggingPresets.readFromPreferences(TaggingPresets.java:54) at org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.tagging.presets.TaggingPresets.initialize(TaggingPresets.java:62) at org.openstreetmap.josm.spi.lifecycle.InitializationTask.call(InitializationTask.java:33) at org.openstreetmap.josm.spi.lifecycle.InitializationTask.call(InitializationTask.java:11) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)
