Thanks for the reply. I managed to proceed pass APT Update after a trying every few hours. Guess it’s one of the servers.

probably. But hard to answer as you did not shared further information.

Reading package lists... Error!
E: lzma_read: Read error (10)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

The same error message appears when I simply try to
apt list --installed

THe filesystem is read and write.

works again. fiddled around thanks to this thread

I first tried these two commands, to disable the apt cache compression.

echo 'Acquire::GzipIndexes "false";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/98dietpi-uncompressed
/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-set_software apt-cache clean

but probably this command by itself to clean the cache, would have been sufficient.
/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-set_software apt-cache clean

yep cleaning the cache solved it most probably.

Thx! Cleaning the cache solved the problem, but i’ve spend few hours on this, looking for a solution.
