Expected behaviour:

Should run without issue

Actual behaviour:

Getting the below errors when following the guide to upgrade.

Extra details:

I’m following this guide/blog post to upgrade from Buster to Bullseye: DietPi - How to upgrade to "Bullseye" - DietPi blog - everything has gone well until I got to the Run dietpi-software reinstall 31 38 40 47 48 56 83 84 85 88 89 93 114 118 130 134 143 155 part.

The upgrade to Bullseye seems to have happened but when I get to this part of the guide, this part fails and it can’t continue.

Either the base-files APT package was not upgraded, or you missed those two steps:

/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-obtain_hw_model
source /boot/dietpi/.hw_model

Can you please check this:

dpkg -l base-files
cat /etc/debian_version

Okay that one is up-to-date. Then please run the first two commands and repeat the dietpi-software reinstall ... command.
