Problem with the latest Patch

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

on a Raspberry Pi 4 running DietPi (Trixie with the update script) and AdGuard Home, I’m getting the following error message with the latest patch. What can I do?

APT install dhcpcd-base

  • Command: apt-get -y --allow-change-held-packages install dhcpcd-base

  • Exit code: 100

  • DietPi version: v10.2.0 (MichaIng/master) | HW_MODEL: 4 | HW_ARCH: 2 | DISTRO: 8

  • Error log:
    Reading package lists…
    Building dependency tree…
    Reading state information…
    Package dhcpcd-base is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    E: Package ‘dhcpcd-base’ has no installation candidate

Thanks

Wait for the moment

dhcpcd-base is a real package in all supported Debian versions. Has your package list been updated properly?

apt policy dhcpcd-base
apt update
apt policy dhcpcd-base

I’m not entirely sure if you want the following issues, but here they are:

root@adguard-home:~# apt policy dhcpcd-base
dhcpcd-base:

  Candidate: (none)

You have no Debian repository installed. Does /etc/apt/sources.list not exist, or is it emtpy/all commented?

You can recreate it with dietpi-config network options (misc) > APT mirror.

Then run:

apt update
apt upgrade

Depending on how long you are missing the distro’s main APT repo, there might be a lot of critical updates available.

Oops, how did that mishap happen?

Your solution was spot on!

APT Mirror: Unknown, no sting from scrape

Now everything is back to normal.

Thank you so much for the prompt support!
