+2.2 Bug: netdata doesn't start
+------------------------------
+
+If netdata does not start, there could be an upgrade issue from a previous version
+leading to a corrupted internal database of the cached values in /var/cache/netdata.
+
+Try purging the package reinstalling netdata:
+
+ $ sudo apt remove --purge netdata-core
+ $ sudo apt install netdata-core
