Armbian upgrade to 25.5.x from 24.5.x

[robertM]

I am Running Armbian 24.5.1 Jammy with Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx on Radxa Rock5b (and it works great!!)

 

when running 

sudo apt dist-upgrade

or

sudo apt upgrade

 

I get

Die folgenden Pakete sind zurückgehalten worden:
  armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b

" Packages retained"

apt list --installed | grep armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b

gives:

armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b-legacy/jammy,now 24.5.1 arm64  [installiert]
armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b/jammy,now 24.5.1 arm64  [Installiert,aktualisierbar auf: 25.5.1]  ## installed, can be updated

can/shall I force the the use of "armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b/jammy,now 24.5.1 arm64  [Installiert,aktualisierbar auf: 25.5.1]" ?

how?

 

what is the correct procedure to update to 25.5.x?

 

thanks

please provide the output of "apt policy armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b" and "sudo cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/*"

I was able to get the conflicting versions fixed:

sudo apt remove armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b-legacy

 

now:

[laibsch]

so, you are good now?

[robertM]

well I "solved" the package conflict but now on boot it shows:
 

Welcome to  22.11.2  with Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx

before it showed: Welcome to Armbian 24.5.1 Jammy

 

everything works though - no pending updates.  I guess I will leave it like this. Or any recommendations about getting it up to current version?

You are most likely fine.  But out of curiosity can you run the following:

apt list --installed | grep armbian

[robertM]

@robertM  You really should have an armbian-bsp-* package installed for your appropriate box as well.  If I reread your previous posts that should be: armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b

 

So I would suggest running:  sudo apt install armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b

 

That should clean up your login info to be up to date and you will then pick up future changes as well.

awesome:
login screen now ->    thx!!
