OrangePi3LTS - update /upgrade error

[kris777]

I think I messed something up in the system, maybe with the repositories, but I get this message when updating...

maybe someone has already dealt with this message and error?

Please prepend the commands with LC_ALL=C like "LC_ALL=C apt update" and post the output again.

It is likely that the team (or person) responsible for preparing the armbian-bsp-cli-orangepi3-lts-current package for version $25.8.2$ uploaded it to the repository before or without making sure that the required version of base-files ($25.8.2$) was already available there. This is why none of the standard commands (upgrade, full-upgrade, install) worked until we forced the installation with dpkg --ignore-depends.

This is the hint I got from AI 🙂

I changed the repositories from beta to stable and installed:

 

sudo sed -i 's|beta.armbian.com|apt.armbian.com|g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list

 

and

 

sudo apt download armbian-bsp-cli-orangepi3-lts-current
sudo dpkg --install --ignore-depends=base-files armbian-bsp-cli-orangepi3-lts-current_25.8.2_arm64.deb

 

Now it's OK....but is this the right approach?

didn't even realize you were on beta repo. Well when you use bleeding edge, you have to be prepared for breakage since it is expected ;).

[kris777]

I gave some information  ..... Hit:8 http://fi.mirror.armbian.de/beta bookworm InRelease ? 🙂

If this is a bug, meaning the repositories are in beta, then OK... but I don't know if I installed them? Or are they standard in the images/firmware installations, e.g., for the Opi3LTS version?

Ps. Has support for my OrangePi3LTS model been completely abandoned? ...because now I don't have the option to install the system to the emmc memory in the :armbian-config options? /  nand-sata-install / armbian-install 😞

I think the easiest way would be to switch to the Debian/Triexie version from bookworm because unfortunately bookworm has only bugs and no support for the wifi card now 🙂

I switched to the Armbian version of Debian Trixie and now it's OK
