Update Failure with Application Deployment - Upgrade from 2.7.2 to 2.7.2.8 is failling

Ran into the same issue myself. The normal update routes didn’t seem to work from the frontend and even using the ampinstmgr. Had to run these commands from the CubeCoders wiki:

sudo su -l
getamp update

That seemed to fix it for me. Hope this works for you as well.
