Package armbian-config is not available

[Dyfcom]

Hello,

 

I installed a fresh `Armbian_23.02.2_Nanopim4v2_bullseye_current_5.15.93_minimal.img.xz` for the Nanopi M4v2. But when I try to install `armbian-config' after an `apt update`, I got following error:
 

root@nanopim4v2:~# apt install armbian-config
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package armbian-config is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'armbian-config' has no installation candidate

 

also checked the apt-cache:

apt-cache showpkg armbian-config
Package: armbian-config
Versions:

Reverse Depends:
  armbian-bsp-cli-nanopim4v2,armbian-config
Dependencies:
Provides:
Reverse Provides:

 

Also tried the `3rd party Debian based distributions`from https://github.com/armbian/config, but got the same error.

 

There is also a second unsolved thread:

I stay now with the non-minimal, but is there a solution for future using of the minimal with armbian-config?

Thanks and greeting!

Perhaps this is a solution?

How can I test this? I am not so familiar with changes in github 😅

Edit: I think I need to build it myself?

this worked on a fresh installed armbian:
 

apt update && apt upgrade -y
wget -O armbian-config.deb 'https://forum.armbian.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=12473&key=a65459c80c08c1043133549c7b2b7b01'
apt --fix-broken install
dpkg -i armbian-config.deb

Thanks @Igor!

Note: I am on Armbian_23.02.2_Nanopim4v2_bullseye_current_5.15.93_minimal. And not on Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.667_Nanopim4v2_bookworm_current_6.6.31_minimal. I am using it for OpenMediaVault!

Ok, I have to say that.

 

Today I tested something and used a new fresh installed SD-card Armbian_23.02.2_Nanopim4v2_bullseye_current_5.15.93_minimal (image from above). And armbian-config was able to install over apt
 

apt update && apt upgrade -y
apt install armbian-config

I have the same problem running a board with

                                   
 v26.2.1 for Rock 5B Plus running Armbian Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx

 Packages:     Debian stable (trixie)

that there is no install candidate named 'armbian-config'.

I have two different systems running Armbian, one with "Debian (stable) Trixie" (which has the problem) and one with "Ubuntu stable (noble)" (same Kernel 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx, same v26.2.1 dist) which has NO problem getting Armbian-Config package updated.

After copying the apt-source from one to the other (Ubuntu -> Debian), it works fine. Was that intended?
Here the code of the copied file '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.sources':
 

Types: deb
URIs: https://github.armbian.com/configng
Suites: stable
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg

 

Looks like it works fine now ...
Could you please confirm if I am doing okay with this?

Thx in advance
