OrangePi 3 Error on first setup and Software Install (Nextcloud)

Troubleshooting
1

During setup process I received an error saying that the latest version of DietPi (error 404 - probably for this newly supported device OrangePi 3) cannot be found. - I stepped over this, but within one of the following steps the software installation process for Nextcloud, Nextcloud Talk and OpenSSH also led into error. Finally the error report did not work. - I think we see only this latest part in the error below.
So has there to be some more work done to support the OrangePi 3 completely?

Thanks and best regards!

You are running a beta version? Is this intended?

Install the missing tool as follows

apt install p7zip

Thanks. So now it says

Yes, MichaIng has provided the new “beta” version for me last week, because the non-LTS OrangePi3 had not been supported before…

Here is the full report:

Pls update to the latest development branch. Your system is trying to fetch data from a special branch which did not exist anymore as it has been merged into development

OK - I think, I made it: edited /boot/dietpi.txt and changed the line
“DEV_GITBRANCH=orangepi3” to “DEV_GITBRANCH=dev” - right?

tried dietpi-update after changing /boot/dietpi.txt as described above, but no, seems not to enough:
