Hello, I have installed NextcloudPi on my Raspberry PI5. Current OS is installed currently:

 

 

Now, I would like to make an upgrade and get the following issue.

 

 

What can I do?  I am very grateful for any help.

Try an apt full-upgrade. The libraspberrypi packages have been deprecated recently (e.g. June/July) and recent RPI packages shouldn't depend on them, including raspi-firmware.

Thank you very much for the tip. I have heard that one should avoid updating the firmware if possible. Of course, I don't want my entire system to stop working afterwards. Can that happen? Should I make a complete backup before?

[mitu]

Where did you hear that ? Note that the 'firmware' package is not updating the EEPROM that's present on a Pi4/Pi5 and I had no booting issues updating the raspi-firmware package on RaspiOS.\

Of course you could make a backup if you want to feel safer, but I have no reason to believe there's anything that's going to cause issues if you're going to upgrade the raspi-firmware package.

OK. I tried it without a backup and I still get an error.

@sunshine sorry it didn't work, I though the upgrade for `raspi-firmware` would force the uninstallation of the (outdated) libs, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

The following is documented:

Troubleshooting

On Debian bookworm variant you might bump into broken packages dependency, conflicts between firmware and bsp package. Here is how you can solve it:

 

apt update

dpkg --remove --force-all libraspberrypi0 armbian-bsp-cli-rpi4b-current

apt --fix-broken install

apt install armbian-bsp-cli-rpi4b-current

 

 

 

 

But nobody seems to read the docs.😪

Very good, thank you very much. Stupid question – I have a Raspberry pi5 and the manual mentions rpi4b. Will that work?

yes

That sounds good 😃, but is it very risky without a full backup? 

 

Or can I save same special files/directories in case of a system crash? I have waste a lot of time with the raspberry because of many problem. Therefore, I'm a little bit fearful.

So, I have now tried to solve the problem using the instructions. But unfortunately, it didn't work and I am getting an error message again. I ask for further assistance.
