I cannot update PiHole with the PiHole -up command from a SSH login.

Every time I run the command I get the following error.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -up

PiHole 4 2GB running the latest Bullseye upgrade.

I have only upgraded the OS to Bullseye.

Thanks for any help.

Try:

sudo sed -i 's|bullseye/updates|bullseye-security|' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update

The path of the security repo has changed with Bullseye. The old one has been kept for backwards compatibility, but now it has been removed.

Yes and no. Yes the first line worked, no the sudo apt update failed.

The security repo works fine now.

Second issue: bintray.com has been shut down a year ago or so. Remove the line or file which contains this repository from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, then repeat apt update. Not sure which software you installed from bintray.com, but as long as it is still maintained, you should check current install instructions, which will contain either a different APT repository or other download/install/update method.

As a related note, until you get apt update to complete successfully (an OS level process), the Pi-hole installer/updater won't complete.

Solve the apt update problem first, then re-run the Pi-hole update.

I guess the repo was for Speedtest CLI. Check out current install instructions (for Ubuntu/Debian) which contain removing the old APT source as well: Speedtest CLI: Internet-Geschwindigkeitstest für die Befehlszeile

Michalng, I think the instructions to removed speedtest was the answer. I ran the first four lines and was able to get the apt update, then the sudo apt upgrade.

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/speedtest.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove speedtest
sudo apt-get remove speedtest-cli

And yes JBF you were correct, once I got the apt update to work, everything else for PiHole -up worked.

Update Complete!

Current Pi-hole version is v5.9.1
Current AdminLTE version is v5.11
Current FTL version is v5.14

Thank you both for the insights. I had forgotten that I had installed speedtest. I never did get it to work.

Thanks! PiHole is up!
