Unable to upgrade armbian-bsp-cli-orangepi5-plus-legacy on userbuilt armbian 23.11

[MartinWilco]

I built armbian using the branch 23.11 with legacy-kernel 5.10.160 for use as a Nextcloud server.

Version: Armbian-unofficial 23.11.0-trunk Bullseye \l . 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx

 

After running sudo apt upgrade there were a few packages which were being upgraded successfully from 23.11.0-trunk to 23.11.1.
Unfortunately the package armbian-bsp-cli-orangepi5-plus-legacy cannot be upgraded to 23.11.1 due to the base-files still being on 23.11.0-trunk. The system is running fine though.

How do I fix this issue?
Is there a safe way to upgrade the base-files to 23.11.1? I cannot rebuild the system!

 

Any help is appreciated:)

Att I was able to upgrade it by using the beta package of base-files which has now been removed from beta repositories, they made some tweak to produce that bullseye base-files and never did it again

An update

it seems you can use the bookworm base-files deb on a bullseye system

 

It will change /etc/debian_version to 12.5

revert to 11.x with

I forgot to check bullseye version before apply the bookworm base-file

if someone can, post the correct  bullseye version

 

Cheers !

Interesting, thanks for the tip.

I might try it. But as far as I know NextcloudPi does not fully support bookworm yet and I don't want to risk breaking a running system.
I'll try to create a full backup first.
