Cannot install Dietpi v9.7.1 - any help appriciated

[temp]

Creating a bug report/issue

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Required Information

• DietPi version | G_DIETPI_VERSION_CORE=9 G_DIETPI_VERSION_SUB=6 G_DIETPI_VERSION_RC=1 G_GITBRANCH='master' G_GITOWNER='MichaIng'
• Distro version | bookworm
• Kernel version | Linux pihole 5.10.160 #1 SMP Tue Jul 4 15:42:58 CST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
• Architecture | arm64
• SBC model | NanoPi R5S/R5C (aarch64)
• Power supply used | 5V 3A
• SD card used | internal flash used
• Device model : NanoPi R5S/R5C (aarch64)

Additional Information (if applicable)

Steps to reproduce

1. Try to install dietpi v9.7.1
2. after sometime Vorbereitung zum Entpacken von .../armbian-firmware_24.8.0-trunk-dietpi2_all.deb ... Entpacken von armbian-firmware (24.8.0-trunk-dietpi2) über (24.8.0-trunk-dietpi2) ... client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
3. connection is lost after sometime reestablished and I need to »sudo dpkg --configure -a« ausführen, um das Problem zu beheben.
4. after doing sudo apt-get upgrade -y manually same behaviour

Expected behaviour

• normal install

Actual behaviour

• broken pipe after sometime during instalation of armbiam firmware

@MichaIng can you have a look pls

[MichaIng]

sudo dpkg --configure -a goes through without issues?

In which state is the package after that?

dpkg -l armbian-firmware

So you are running the update via SSH and are connected via Ethernet or WiFi? It seems like replacing the firmware binaries aborts the network connection of the adapter which uses this firmware. But it is weird, since AFAIK the firmware is only loaded once with the kernel module/driver, and is not required anymore afterwards. I regularly upgrade firmware packages for WiFi adapters in use, and it does not affect current connections. Also I never heard of such ever happening in any other case. But it is maybe too much of a coincidence that this very package unpacking aborts the network connection for a while.

EDIT: Is it an Intel or Qualcomm/Atheros WiFi adapter? I see you are likely doing the major kernel upgrade, in which case the firmware packages for those two are purged first, the Armbian firmware package installed afterwards. It is needed since there are conflicts for those missing, else it would be done in one step, with less time between them, If this turns out to be the issue, I’ll manually add the missing conflicts to our package, and crate a fork to have this added in all feature builds of the package as well.

Yes ,

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Goes through without an issue

Status is

iHR armbian-firmware 24.8.0-trunk-dietpi2 all          (keine Beschreibung vorhanden)

I use the onboard Ethernet adapter…so I don’t know need to check the hw spec

I do the normal dietpi update process via dietpi menu

[MichaIng]

Okay, so network is currently there, hence other 2 firmware packages have been purged already. So missing firmware blobs cannot be the reason then.

Can you check for kernel errors and last system logs?

dmesg -l 0,1,2,3
journalctl -n 30

Maybe it is some voltage issue while unpacking this larger package .

It’s solved I restarted the system and tried it ones more now it’s solved
