Dietpi-update fails to complete due to apt-key cannot create /dev/null #7152

Hmm, I faced a very similar issue some weeks ago. The ls -l /dev/null |
|
I restored to my most recent backup and this was the result pre dietpi-update After the update to the be clear, the update still fails to complete and it breaks apt completely, giving me the gpgv errors as mentioned in the initial report |
|
Can you share the full update log: cat /var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-update.log |

Just to be sure, after restoring the backup, you ran We have a 2nd report: #7157 This will re-create the node with the correct permissions: sudo rm /dev/null
sudo mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3Since it is a correct node in your case already: sudo chmod 0666 /dev/null |
What I want to verify:
Because interesting is that the timestamp is now older: rm /path/to/file /dev/nullSuch mistake would however result in a later/current timestamp. Means that e.g. a EDIT: Can you also show the services you have installed? dietpi-services status |

yes, that is correct. i had restored to a working backup. i obtained the output of ls on /dev/null immediately after rebooting. i then attempted dietpi-update again to obtain the second output of ls. this all occurred while at work and unable to respond as i don't have regular access to any computer during those hours, thus it was done using my mobile and a detached tmux session so i may let things run in the background while i will more than likely lose my ssh connection. i appreciate your quick replies and help in the matter so far! |

Let's go through some possible culprits: ls -l /dev/null # check that it is still has right permissions
apt update
ls -l /dev/null
apt upgrade
ls -l /dev/null
dietpi-services restart
ls -l /dev/null |

Steps to reproduce
sudo dietpi-updateExpected behaviour
Successful update/patching from v9.2.1 to v9.6.1
Actual behaviour
Extra details
After the update fails, my shell prompt includes three lines of
-bash: /dev/null: Permission deniedwith the only remedy being to restore using dietpi-backup.
I will admit I have quite a bit of additional software installed, including the starship shell prompt, that may be giving me this error. I have found that a manual
sudo apt-get update/upgradeyields no issues, and other software installed viadietpi-softwatesuch as pihole has no issues updating.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
