Update Failed, but then shows updated?

Help

Expected Behavior:

Pihole should update using pihole -up.

Actual Behavior:

Update failed indicating unable to update package cache. Subsequent update attempt says everything is up to date?

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/h7eyf691sf

Below is the output of my SSH session as well.

What does pihole -v show for the installed versions. And what does sudo apt-get update show for errors?

3

Pi-hole version is v4.3.2 (Latest: v4.3.2)
AdminLTE version is v4.3 (Latest: v4.3)
FTL version is v4.3.1 (Latest: v4.3.1)

Same thing happened to me, have posted about it in another similar thread, told me the update had failed, definitely did not run all the way through the usual update process, then I apt-get update, it now tells me pihole is updated, dashboard tells me the same, but it never updated via SSH

It is updated, the process that pulls in the latest changes to /etc/.pihole uses git and that worked. What needs to be fixed is your apt lists or else you won't be able to run apt update or apt upgrade to get the latest fixes and changes from Raspbian.

Thanks for confirming Dan. Appreciate the help. I'll look at fixing the apt list.

That specific error is talked about on the Raspberry Pi forums, there's a single command that fixes it but I just can't remember it off the top of my head.

8

sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change

Thanks Dan. I was just about to go look, but you beat me to it.

When I run this command I get the following error:

pi@raspberrypi_pi-hole:~ $ sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change
E: Command line option --allow-releaseinfo-change is not understood in combination with the other options

I'm running Raspbian Stretch on a 3 B+.

Any thoughts? Thank you.

That command is for Buster.

Thanks for the reply.
