armbian and OMV upgrade 6 to 7 - package held back on HC1

[Chip]

Hello community!

 

I have performed an update from armbian 11 to 12 and OMV 6 to 7 and completed it successfully so far. Unfortunately just the package armbian-bsp-cli-odroidxu4 was not upgraded due to a missing dependency:

 

+++

 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 armbian-bsp-cli-odroidxu4-current : Depends: base-files (>= 24.5.1) but 12.4+deb12u6 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

E: Unable to locate package 12.4+deb12u6
E: Couldn't find any package by glob '12.4+deb12u6'

 

ok, let‘s try:

 

root@omv:~# sudo apt install 12.4+deb12u6-current

Is this package simply not available in the armbian repository or did I something fundamental wrong?

Can you provide some logs and at least content of this:
 

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list

 

Files are present:
https://mirror-eu-de1.armbian.airframes.io/apt/pool/bookworm/b/base-files/

 

Try to uninstall armbian-bsp-cli-odroidxu4 and install it again.
Edit: Oh, I see, armhf files are missing for some reason. Rebuilding.

Thanks Igor for the quick response and I‘ll be patient and wait for the rebuild. 👍 🙂

This should also be ok now (run sudo apt update to make sure you have latest lists). File is present:
https://imola.armbian.com/apt/pool/jammy/b/base-files/

[Joel]

I have the same problem with Bookworm and an Orange Pi 5+. However the later base file seems to be here so maybe it's something else? https://imola.armbian.com/apt/pool/bookworm/b/base-files/

I think I fixed it, but review and testing is needed. I won't have time for this anytime soon

[Joel]

Great, thanks for looking into it. Everything seems to work fine right now so I guess I don’t really need the updates.

 

Will it be enough to do apt upgrade once it’s fixed or will I have to do something manually? Just wondering if I need to keep track of this or not.

[T-6]

Same here on HC2

[Igor]

Should be fixed now.

base-files are now in correct place and repo should be in sync.
https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt/pool/bookworm-utils/b/base-files/

 

sudo apt-update
sudo apt-upgrade

 

should do.

[Joel]

Yes, it worked great. Thanks!

[T-6]

Yes, upgrade without issues. Thanks Igor

[Dan Andresan]

Same (?) issue on noble.

Checking https://mirror-eu-de1.armbian.airframes.io/apt/pool/noble-utils/b/base-files/ and I see that armhf version is stuck at 24.5. 24.8 is available only for arm64 and amd64 :(

If you want a quick solution, you can use my answer here.

 

It's a dirty fix, but it works.

Edited September 21 by emk2203

[Dan Andresan]

Thank you emk2203! Well spotted, armhf and amd64 packages of base-files are almost architecture independent except that locale-check. I will check the current and the previous version of the amd64 package in order to see the changes and decide if it's worth building the armhf package myself via your solution. Maybe we will get an update from Armbian, on https://www.armbian.com/odroid-xu4/ I see that ubuntu noble is (still) supported.

Only if someone will step up and help (on long term). There is help on supporting hardware and getting important features working.  While there is very little help in distribution, OS, automation ... https://github.com/armbian/os

I am more or less the only person dealing with this and I can only keep an eye on mainstream problems, corner cases, such as this, never came to the top of the list.
