  [i] Checking for updates...
  [i] Pi-hole Core:     up to date
  [i] Web Interface:    update available
  [i] FTL:              update available

  [i] Pi-hole Web Admin files out of date, updating local repo.
  [✓] Check for existing repository in /var/www/html/admin
  [i] Update repo in /var/www/html/admin...
  : Could not update local repository. Contact support.

Let's start with removing all the existing web interface files and then repair from there.

sudo rm /var/www/html/admin

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

pihole -r and select repair

That seemed to have worked. Pihole was able to update the FTL and web interface after following your instructions. Thank you.
