Issue with apt full-upgrade when upgrading to bullseye

Troubleshooting
1

I’m following this guide for the manual upgrade of Buster to Bullseye https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=811#2.2.3-upgrade-the-system so far everything’s been fine but I’m now stuck at this section:

dietpi-services stop
# NB: Type/paste the next 2 commands individually into the console!
apt upgrade
apt full-upgrade
/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-obtain_hw_model
. /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-globals

I stopped the services and did the upgrade but I’m a bit stuck with the full-upgrade command, does it need to be all one line? If I do this

apt full-upgrade /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-obtain_hw_model . /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-globals

I get:

Reading package lists... Done
E: Unsupported file /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-obtain_hw_model given on commandline
E: Unsupported file . given on commandline
E: Unsupported file /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-globals given on commandline
root@DietPi:/#

If I try it on multiple lines like in the guide it runs apt full-upgrade alone and I end up with

root@DietPi:/# apt full-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

pls copy commands one by one and not all of them together.

to fix issue with apt full-upgrade, try following

apt install gcc-8-base

3

so should it just be:

apt full-upgrade
wait for that to finish
/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-obtain_hw_model
wait for that to finish
. /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-globals
wait for that to finish

yes, as well I updated my post above.

Thanks, installing gcc8 seems to have fixed it, I’ll carry on with the upgrade steps now.

Random question what do these two lines actually do?
/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-obtain_hw_model
. /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-globals

Running them separately doesn’t give me any feedback.

That’s totally fine. They just load the new configuration details for our scripts.

Thanks for the info and your help :smiley:
