It appears you may have corrupt packages. dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:

[Slawomir Caluch]

I have a problem on 2 rock-5b boards with emmc drives.

on both I am unable to update the distro immediately after the first boot.

 

On the firs SBC upon doing an apt upgrade I get:

Setting up perl-base (5.36.0-7+deb12u1) ...
(Reading database ... 27044 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../0-perl-modules-5.36_5.36.0-7+deb12u1_all.deb ...
Unpacking perl-modules-5.36 (5.36.0-7+deb12u1) over (5.36.0-7) ...
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 unable to fsync updated status of 'perl-modules-5.36': Input/output error
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - pkgDPkgPM::Go (30: Read-only file system)
E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke '/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-apt-updates'
E: Sub-process returned an error code

 

 

On the second I just tried sudo armbianmonitor -v:

Starting package integrity check. This might take some time. Be patient please...

It appears you may have corrupt packages.

This is usually a symptom of filesystem corruption caused by SD cards or eMMC
dying or burning the OS image to the installation media went wrong.

The following changes from packaged state files were detected:

/usr/bin/tzselect
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/master_preferences.dpkg-dist
/usr/share/doc/base-files/changelog.gz

This is immediately after first boot and changing the root password.
