Hello
but when I try to update, it says it's up to date.
internet is working and I tried several times.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -up

Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:
pihole -d
or do it through the Web interface:
Tools > Generate Debug Log
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/5Wl3Mg43/
but,
but now it's ok.

The web admin dashboard will lag the actual versions. The version shown on the dashboard isn't checked in real time.

I see,
The command
pihole updatechecker
and a reload of the Pi-hole web page will bring it up to date.
I have the exact same issue.https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/q7EhoVkN/
Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated!
Did you try the suggested command on the previous post?
pihole updatechecker
Yes, I should have said I've done all the trouble shooting I have found in this thread and others with no resolution.
You do have a lot of these in your /var/log/lighttpd/error-pihole.log
2023-11-02 21:52:42: (mod_fastcgi.c.421) FastCGI-stderr: PHP Notice: Undefined index: CORE_VERSION in /var/www/html/admin/scripts/pi-hole/php/update_checker.php on line 40
Searching for that variable finds a few posts, but probably best to wait for a dev to confirm best way to fix.

Thanks I googled that line and found some posts but none with an answer.
thanks.
ssh -i /config/.ssh/pi-hole -o 'StrictHostKeyChecking=no' pi@192.168.180.10 'sudo pihole -up ; sudo pihole updatechecker'
so now we wait for the next update to check.
Your /etc/pihole/versions contains outdated Core_version information
rw-r--r-- 1 root root 604 Nov 2 21:43 /etc/pihole/versions
CORE_VERSION=v5.17.1

As you have been unable to update that file, try removing it and run pihole updatechecker afterwards.
This should not be necessary, as we run the updatechecker every time an update was performed.

Thank you that seems to have fixed it!!
Out of interest what might have been the cause of that, and why would it not become up to date afterwards when running pihole updatechecker, requiring the need to delete it?
Actually, I don't know. I've seen it before and fixed it the same way. It might be a permission issue with the file being owned by root:root but I don't have a v5 bare metal to verify the correct permissions at the moment.
Mine is v5 on a Pi 3B+ and this is what I have for reference. I think the poster's debug log showed the same file permissions.
$ pihole -v
Pi-hole version is v5.17.2 (Latest: v5.17.2)
web version is v5.20.2 (Latest: v5.20.2)
FTL version is v5.23 (Latest: v5.23)

I had the same problem.
cd /etc/pihole
sudo mv versions versions.bak
pihole updatechecker
In case it's of any use in identifying the root cause here is a dump of my "before" (versions.bak) and "after" (versions) files:
t95x@aml-s9xx-box:/etc/pihole$ ls -l versions*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 325 Nov 10 09:58 versions
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 650 Nov 10 09:55 versions.bak

Do the 325 NUL characters at the start of versions.bak indicate any problem perhaps?
