Can anybody help me fix this problem?

... time passed ... and I am now seeing the same thing.

Just bringing an old RPi 1 back into life. Fresh SD card with Buster from raspberrypi.org

I ran update and upgrade earlier today without a reported problem.
Rebooted about an hour ago and an install routine (Pimoroni Mote) ran apt-get update ... and error as above (in my case in English).

I presume that the "partial" is a result of this failure to update.

Any clues?

[Paul Webster]

Looking at one from Nov 29th on an RPi4 ... I see a very different style of content.

The recent one that I picked up has lots of "alias" records like

Code: Select all

alias symbol:ieee80211_chandef_to_operating_class cfg80211

but the older one from an RPi4 has no mention of "alias"

[Paul Webster]

Great - someone or something has fixed it ... all of the "alias" lines have now gone and apt is happy again.
