Upgrade to buster problem?

Troubleshooting
1

Hello,

I also use dietpi on a nano pi m4. The system was previously under stretch.
After dietpi came out in version 8.0, I wanted to upgrade the system to buster.
Even if it is not the preferred way, I shied away from reinstalling and used these instructions.
https://dietpi.com/docs/usage/#how-to-upgrade-to-buster

It looked like everything was working fine at first, but there seem to be a few inconsistencies.
Dietpi shows me the following after booting:

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 DietPi v7.9.4 (stretch) : 17:51 - Di 11.01.2022
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 - Device model : Generic Device (aarch64)
 - CPU temp : 48 °C / 118 °F : Optimal temperature
 - LAN IP : 10.0.0.58 (eth0)
 - MOTD : Happy New Year, DietPi v8.0 is here:
          https://dietpi.com/docs/releases/v8_0/
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────

But another ad tells me this:

So what is correct, stretch or buster?

cat /etc/os-release

root@nanopim4-wlan:~# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

What could have gone wrong there?

Dietpi may not be able to be updated to version 8 as a result.

I would be delighted to find a solution.

you need to switch to master branch manually after your systems has been updated to Buster

Instructions has been updated accordingly

Thank`s, that worked very well. Does this apply to all systems or only specifically to the nano pi?

Edit: I’ve since noticed that it affects several of my systems. After applying the instruction everything is fine.

Doesn’t matter which SBC. It applies to all systems that have been migrate to stretch branch already. Visible on the word stretch next to DietPi version inside the banner.

Thanks again for the quick and competent help!
