this one should solve it Package raspi-firmware is not configured yet · Issue #6747 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub

You need to purge rpi-eeprom + raspi-firmware and install latest version of rpi-eeprom again.

thanks both.

I was surprised as I didn’t have to do this for my other Pi

I’m not really familiar with how to do this. Are these the commands?

G_AGP rpi-eeprom raspi-firmware
cd /tmp
curl -fo package.deb 'https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/r/rpi-eeprom/rpi-eeprom_20.1-1_all.deb'
apt install ./package.deb
rm package.deb
apt-mark hold rpi-eeprom

and

apt-mark unhold rpi-eeprom
apt update
apt upgrade

Also, can I do this remotely (I normally SSH from a local machine which I have connected to remotely)?

5

Yes

No, following is enough

G_AGP rpi-eeprom raspi-firmware
G_AGUP
G_AGI rpi-eeprom

Only happen on a small set of RPi4 device.
