uname -a
Linux pi 5.15.76-v7+ #1597 SMP Fri Nov 4 12:13:17 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release: 11
Codename: bullseye

What to do about it?

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git /var/www/html/admin

Thanks! It helped. The update has now completed successfully.

Do I need to change the owner of the files in this directory?

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/admin

I think this should not be necessary. Did you try if the web interface is working without the change?

Yes, everything works. Thanks again.
