`pihole -up` failing

Pihole -up is failing with /opt/pihole/update.sh: line 108: : No such file or directory
I found a previous post but it did not detail how to correct the issue properly.
Pi-hole version is v6.0.6 (Latest: v6.0.6)
web version is v6.1 (Latest: v6.1)
FTL version is v5.25.2 (Latest: v6.1)
Running Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) all updates installed
Pihole looks like it's running but the web interface is not.

debug token is: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/5kQqn645/

Any help is appreciated

You upgrade is partially failed.
FTL is still v5.

You are also running an outdated OS. Debian 10 is currently not supported by Pi-hole:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Operating system
[✓] Distro:  Raspbian
[✗] Version: 10
[✓] dig return code: 0
[i] dig response: "Raspbian=11,12 Ubuntu=20,22,23,24 Debian=11,12 Fedora=40,41 CentOS=9,10"
[✗] Error: Raspbian is supported but version 10 is currently unsupported

Try to complete the update running:

sudo PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true pihole -r

If this doesn't work, I suggest you to start over, using a newer OS.

That worked. I'm running on a Pi2 and I think Raspian 10 is the highest rev it will run. I think I'll order newer hardware so I can stay current.
Thanks for the help!

I think you can install a newer OS without issues.

Bookworm works properly on a Pi2.

So many people are having problems . My distro is RPM based. I am beginning to think that a Pi-hole is not worth the trouble.

There are other non-Pi-hole options, self-hosted and remotely hosted.

Hey Doug, sorry to hear you've had some issues. If you'd prefer to open a new thread and post the link to your pi-hole debug log with pihole -d, I'm sure the devs and the community can help you fix the problems with your upgrade.

To ger around the RPM distro I installed pinhole on an MMC card running DietPi in a Pi3. With no configuration it downloaded additional software. The router put it on 192.168.1.10 and treating that as an input i could see regular pulses coming in. That is about as far as I got. The Pi software downloaded but couldn't find the dependency file. Please forgive my Samsung AI phone. It wins every time. I had to re-phrase a sentence before it would be accepted.

I kind of 1000% disagree with you.

I've run Pi-Hole for I don't know how many years, and except for the glitch changing from 5 to 6, whenever I had issues with Pi-Hole it was issues between me and the keyboard.

I do strongly advice to use some newer hardware for this, even if it does not need the horsepower, my Pi-Hole's run sooooooooo much smoother on RPi 4 than it did on RPi 2 and 3. I never run high on resources, and except for the occasional version or gravity update, I never have to look at it.

Bookworm runs on a pi2.

The thread started by npramage on Feb 27 should help. It was his problem that stopped me but by now that bug should be squished. I will start an updated thread.
