Raspbian Buster Lite on RPi2B cannot update/upgrade trough apt

[Bosse_B]

I have installed Raspbian Buster Lite on a RPi2B and it looked OK when done.
I can SSH into it and run raspi-config to complete the setup.
After the installation was done I tried to use apt to update it:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

What happens is that update reports that 28 upgrades are available but when I run the upgrade command this happens:
1) It starts normally and calculates an upgrade time of some 25 minutes

2) After a while error messages start to appear

3) Finally it reports:

Code: Select all

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

4) At this point I tried the suggestion:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get --fix-missing
apt 1.8.2 (armhf)
Usage: apt-get [options] command
       apt-get [options] install|remove pkg1 [pkg2 ...]
       apt-get [options] source pkg1 [pkg2 ...]

But as you see the result is only a display of apt commands, so the tip in the error message seems incomplete...

The RPi2B is using the Edimax WiFi adapter and connects to the network just fine using that.
What can be wrong here? The Lite distribution maybe?

I used the standard Buster distro to set up a new RPi4B (4GB version) in the same way just before handling the RPi2B unit and it did update/upgrade just fine without any errors.

I also tried to check the hardware:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Revision
Revision        : a01041

I think this shows I am using an RPi2B, right?

Please advice.

Lite worked fine on my Pi 3B and the Desktop version worked fine on my Pi0W.

I have a 2B v1.1 somewhere around here. If I find it I'll give it a try.

FWIW: it looks like a network problem from the errors.

[Bosse_B]

FWIW: it looks like a network problem from the errors.

I found an Ethernet cable and wired up the network to the RPi2B unit, then logged in via the eth0 IP address to shut down the WiFi interface.
Turns out that I was hit by the change in command syntax...

Code: Select all

sudo ifdown wlan0

does not work with Buster, it reports an unknown interface wlan0 even though ifconfig reports it as wlan0.
Googled that I had to use this instead:

Code: Select all

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down

At this point I lost the connection via PuTTY even though I had connected PuTTY to the Ethernet IP address.
But repeating the connection worked, so I could again command the Pi.
And now with WiFi disabled and a wired connection the apt upgrade command did work fine until the end and my RPiB2 is now running Buster Lite with all packages up to date!
Thanks!

PS: When I failed I was doing the upgrade at about midnight UTC, so maybe there were too many users on the RPi servers at that time? Otherwise the switch to the wired network was the cure now 6 hours later DS

[HawaiianPi]

Completed test. No trouble found.

Pi 2B v1.1 revision a21041 (same as yours, but made my Embest vs Sony UK).

No-name USB WiFi dongle marketed for PCDuino and Raspberry Pi (RT5370).


CP2012 USB-TTL adapter used as serial console cable.

Wrote 2019-06-20-raspbian-buster-lite.zip image to Samsung EVO+ 16GB uSD card with Etcher.
Plugged in WiFi dongle, uSD card and power.

Booted fine and I was able to ping raspberrypi.
Connected via SSH (ssh pi@raspberrypi), changed password and rebooted.
SSH in again and ran sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y with no errors.
Rebooted again and reconnected via SSH.

So, my guesses are, trouble with your WiFi dongle or Internet connection.
Might be power... what are you using for a power supply?

[Bosse_B]

Looks like our posts crossed...
Network problems most certainly, either WiFi in my end or busy servers at RPi foundation while doing the apt upgrade.
Since my problems happened around midnight (Europe) and was OK 6 hours later there just might have been a "rush hour" problem....
I speed tested the WiFi connection and it is OK.

Looks like our posts crossed...

Yup. Glad it's working for you now.

The ol' 2B has been collecting dust for awhile. I should probably think of something to do with it, but then I'll end up swapping it for one of my 3B models when the 4Bs I have on order arrive. Oh well, at least these things don't cost much (I paid more for my Chromebook than all of my Pi computers combined).

So hitting y made it work for me.
I believe that yesterday was the official Buster release date and they had to post a testing version 2 weeks ago when they released the RPi4 hardware.
Now good, though....

[HiassofT]

Raspbian Lite on my RPi4 and Debian Buster on my x86 PC didn't interactively ask me if I'd like to accept the release info change, but using the --allow-releaseinfo-change option worked fine (you'll only need to do this once)

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update

I downloaded all 3 versions of the Buster image last week when I installed on my new RPi4 and an older RPi2.
Now I don't remember which version I chose for he RPi2...
Is there a way to check this after the fact?
I.e. a terminal command to display the version of Raspbian?
I have yet to run the update/upgrade cycle on my RPi4....

I tried this:

Code: Select all

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description:    Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release:        10
Codename:       buster

But it does not state weather a lite or full version is installed...
