I recieved an email stating "Maintenance ended; however, it did not exit cleanly (256). Review the update logs to determine why the update failed."
What do I need to do to fix this?

To fix cPanel issues, specifically with error 256, usually there is a dependency that has not upgraded that needs to be upgrade first before cPanel upgrades. You would want to fix this by doing the following:
- Updating your RPM database
$ rpm --rebuilddb $ rpmdb_verify Packages
- Then force cPanel to update by running the "/scripts/upcp --force" script
Hi,
You can contact cPanel support and gain them access and they will fix anything for you, you just take a cup of coffee.
