I'm running pi-hole 5.18.4 on a Pogoplug V4 which is running Debian 12.9. The initial error I got was "/opt/pihole/update.sh: line 108: : No such file or directory". Looking at that script, $setupVars was null. Not sure where that is supposed to be getting set, so I set it to "/etc/pihole/setupVars.conf" in the script as a work-around. Next try running "pihole -up", I get this error: " Error: Unable to find Pi-hole dependency package.". I see others running Debian 10 who ran into this, but I just updated from Debian 12.7 to 12.9.
Expected Behaviour:
Successful update from pi-hole 5.18.4 to 6.0.1. This is on a Pogoplug V4 device running Debian 12.9.
Actual Behaviour:
Initial error:
root@pihole:~# pihole -up
/opt/pihole/update.sh: line 108: : No such file or directory
subsequent error:
root@pihole:/opt/pihole# pihole -up

OK, I decided to try a fresh install rather than an upgrade. I got past the dependencies, but died installing FTL.

So V6.0 no longer supports my processor? I'm currently running 5.18.4 with no issues.
This install was using the curl method. Is there another way to install on this device that will work?
Yes, sorry. Alpine Linux dropped support for ARMv5. There have been attempts documented on this forum somewhere to build FTL manually and that worked just fine. However, we cannot offer pre-compiled binaries right now as no suitable cross-compiling building environments are available. I know that Debian might still be able to do it but maintaining multiple build containers had always been a pain in the past and Debian is going to drop v5 support, too.
Bottom line: If you know how to get Alpine on ARMv5TE (without too much hazzle, please!), then we can surely look at supporting the Pogoplug again!
Thanks DL6ER. Yeah, I was able to build FTL on Debian 12.7, but unfortunately I'm aware of an easy way to install Alpine Linux on a Pogoplug/ARMv5. My Debian install is actually taken from the Doozan forum.
