Raspbian 10/Buster not a supported OS when updating Pi-hole

I, too, am having an update problem. When I last updated (April 18) I encountered an error and now my pinhole is no longer using https.

This morning, I went to update to 6.1 and received an error message that my OSis no longer support. I'm running Buster is supported.

$ lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.

Distributor ID: Raspbian

Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)

Release: 10

Codename: buster

I did an sudo apt -update hoping this might correct the OS error. No luck. I then followed the pinhole error message deleting the OS check and that didn't work either.

Another note: as I recall in the past, I would simply enter pinhole -up. Now, it's requiring me to sudo pinhole -up

I'm running a Pi Zero2 and it's been working flawlessly - until two weeks ago - for several years.

I'm a very casual linux user so I'm stumped on what options are next short of a total re-install which I'd really prefer not to do if possible!

Buster (version 10) support has ended as of June 2024: Debian -- News -- Debian 10 Long Term Support reaching end-of-life

The recommended path is to install the current release (Bookworm as of right now), and not run the problematic "upgrade in place" mechanic. (LTS/Using - Debian Wiki)

A fresh install is the easiest path, as the in-place upgrade many times has compatibitility issues (some of which may takes months to surface).

Just my 2 cents.
