dietpi-update/apt-get update Error Topic is solved

[bambusbjörn]

Hi,
at the moment I'm using v6.21.1 on my Odroid XU4.
I wanted to update my System to v6.22.3 by using dietpi-update but it failed. When using apt-get update I get the same error.
I already tried to change the APT Mirror (dietpi-config --> Network Options_ Misc --> APT Mirror) but the error is the same.
Does anybody know what to do?
Thanks in advance!

Jep this is a known issue since Debian dropped backports and update branches for Jessie systems from their repository.

Please edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the jessie-backports and jessie-updates lines.

We will patch this as well with v6.23 update prior to APT is called.

Thank you verry much! This solved the problem

This also affects the Odroid C1 build, which is only available for Jessie AFAICT.

I wiped the unit and wanted to start afresh, but I can't get through the initial setup anymore.

It would be nice if you could update the C1 image as well - or is there a way to sidestep this when going through the initial setup? From what I can tell, you can't drop to the shell and adjust apt sources before apt update gets run.

if i burn a C1 image to the eMMC, download and run the VMWare image of dietpi, mount the eMMC into the dietpi OS running in VMWare, could i edit the /etc/apt/sources.list that way?

@Kymru
Jep that is possible. Meanwhile we have an Odroid C1 Stretch image. Sadly Stretch only works with the mainline kernel that lacks video features, thus no screen will work, only SSH and serial console access.

When running into the issue with the Jessie image on first boot, you can skip/break the setup to go into console, then remove the APT sources list lines as mentioned above. Then run: /DietPi/dietpi/login to re-run the first run update and setup steps.
