### Description

Hi There  
This is my first post, I have updated to the latest version of rocket chat which I have done several times before. However now it wont start the service. I have tried a few things to correct this however I cant get past this errror. I found another post on Github for the same issue but it has not been answered and I need this chat back up asap.

Dec 11 19:14:58 rocketchat rocketchat[4686]: compatibilityError: null,

Dec 11 19:14:58 rocketchat systemd[1]: rocketchat.service: Failed with result ‘exit-code’.  
Dec 11 19:17:26 rocketchat systemd[1]: rocketchat.service: Service has more than one ExecStart= setting, which is only allowed for Type=oneshot services. Refusing.

Any suggestions welcome
