I updated from 9.12 to 9.18.1 and then ran the Bookworm to Trixie upgrade script … It didn’t work out.

You would need to share the log from running the Trixie update script. Otherwise hard to assist.

What’s the point of the Bug report ID? Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the upgrade script upload that to you guys? It was an option the script presented to me after it failed …

“Send bug report : Upload bug report including system info to DietPi”.

Access to these reports is limited to a very small group of people. As well they are gone after 48 hours. And this is a public forum where regular users are able to assist others. It’s up to you if you like to wait on an admin who has access.

The gist contains the relevant lines:

Unpacking libgtk-3-0t64:arm64 (3.24.49-3) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-Ih7Waf/1-libgtk-3-0t64_3.2                                                                                                                             4.49-3_arm64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules/im-am-

Fix like this:

dpkg -P --force-depends gir1.2-gtk-3.0 libgtk-3-0 libgtk-3-common
apt -f install

Then rerun the distro upgrade script. We really need to handle this automatically in the script. These 3 packages are totally safe to remove temporarily, I just need to identify those from the RPi repo reliably by the version string.

and just to add, first point of the trouble shooting template is a question if the forum has been searched. In this case it would have given the answer already Upgrade from bookworm to trixie works till final dist-upgrade in trixie

Fair point! I was not thinking about that.

…and yes, I am guilty of not searching the forum this time :grimacing:
