Extra details
I have had v9.9.0 on Rock 4C Plus working perfectly and had prompt for 1 apt update available. On following the update steps, it detected armbian-firmware package (25.02.0-trunk-dietpi1) available to update but had some error message and did not complete. Initially ignored thinking temporary issue but then I decided to do a fresh install of Dietpi and now initial first run setup is stuck trying to update the same package and hangs forever.
Here is printout from console:

The following packages will be upgraded:

1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 91.7 MB of archives.
After this operation, 134 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Wifi connection seems ok as NTP server check is working.
I have rebooted the server multiple times but since it’s fresh install, it’s trying to go through apt upgrade and this is the only particular package it has to update but never completes.
I cannot think of any other way to bypass this step and complete the setup it needs to.
Is there an issue with this armbian-firmware package or something inside dietpi script?
