Apt not working on Odroid N2 OpenMediaVault

[Ádám Ambarus]

Hello,

I was so happy to discovery your image and to reuse my Odroid. After installing the OMV 6.18.10 image, I noticed that no plugins could be installed, and later that even an "apt list" command fails. Please see some command line logs below:

I tried to remove all the sudo rm -vf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*, /var/lib/apt/lists/* folders, but nothing helped.

Can you please help me out? I hope @Nico the maintainer will see this!

Best regards,
Adam

This is OMV stuff, upstream packages that you have troubles with. Unrelated to Armbian / Odroid.

 

My suggestion / tip. Start with Armbian Bookworm and proceed this way: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Software/Media/#omv

Thanks for the response. I was suspecting an issue with apt and its sources. Let me ask the OMV professionals.
