Description:

After updating from 4.2.2 to 4.3.0 the service will not start, journal says

Jan 01 11:35:17 server rocketchat[1762]:       throw error;
Jan 01 11:35:17 server rocketchat[1762]: Error:

}

no idea how to fix.

Start with the journal output and reproduce the suggested npm install --ignore-scripts=false --verbose sharp command under Node v12.18.4, comparing the 4.2.2 and 4.3.0 installation requirements. Done means the 4.3.0 service starts successfully under the reported systemd, Node, npm, and MongoDB environment.
