Checkmk versions & editions

2.5.0b1 Not yet released	Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk Cloud (CCE), Checkmk MSP (CME)
2.4.0p12 Not yet released	Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk Cloud (CCE), Checkmk MSP (CME)

While running the command omd cp or omd mv, the following crash could occur:

-|     self.sock.connect(str(paths.omd_root.joinpath(AUTOMATION_HELPER_SOCKET)))
-| FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

This regression affects Checkmk version 2.4 and later.

For users who cannot update immediately, the issue can be mitigated by disabling the automation helper.
