Is the time correct? date

Hi,

Yes, time is correct. Everything was working fine for months until I did dietpi-update.
By the way. thanks for the help. I reinstalled it.
Now it works again

“format error” :thinking:. Could you try:

update-ca-certificates -f

And are there I/O or filesystem errors reported by the kernel?

dmesg -l emerg,alert,crit,err

I guess OP already created an new fresh install. Probably best idea to overcome the data corruption. :thinking:

Right, info remains for next time of others :slight_smile:.

Guys, trust me I tried everything. I gave up after 3 days of troubleshooting.
It would have been nice to understand what’s actually broke after the upgrade.
I did apt install reinstall curl openssl, re download cacert from curl, added cacert path in env… nothing worked

But it works now after reinstall, right? Strange curl error, probably some broken library file :thinking:.
