Issue
After installing a new fix pack / hotfix, the portal is not starting up, even though the temporary folders have been deleted.

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException
Resolution
For some reason there are duplicated jar files in the lpkg files that you can find in the marketplace folder. Please download a new vanilla bundle, install the desired fix pack / hotfix and replace osgi/marketplace folder in the corrupted bundle with the osgi/marketplace folder of the new instance.
Please make a backup first, in case a rollback will be needed - to avoid further issues.
