Hey,

im trying to install pihole on my very old banana pi bpi-m1 on an Armbian_22.11.0 OS (maybe that is the issue after all).
im getting this error "Error: Unable to update package cache. Please try "sudo apt update" after that the installation wont continue.

 

when i run sudo apt update it shows the following:

I'm not sure if some hints from here may help, especially the initial post.

it probably works if the public key is not expired (e.g. has no expiry dates).

If you don't use GitHub tools:
 

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/githubcli.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
