Versions file error ? Pihole 5.14.1 on Raspi

[evdt]

Expected Behaviour:

Hello,
I've had Pihole on a Raspberry Pi for few years which work perfectly. But since a few I have the "Pi-hole · Update available!" message on the web panel.
I did an apt update & upgrade + pihole -up + reboot but it did not change anything

Hardware/System:
Raspberry pi 2B
Rasbian 10
Pihole 5.14.1

Actual Behaviour:

*u@pihole:~ $ pihole -v*
/usr/local/bin/pihole: line 31 : source: /etc/pihole/versions : *Can not execute the binary file [translated from "ne peut exécuter le fichier binaire"]*
  Pi-hole version is v5.14.1 (Latest: v5.17.2)
  web version is v5.20.2 (Latest: v5.20.2)
  FTL version is v5.23 (Latest: v5.23)

*u@pihole:~ $ sudo pihole -v*
/usr/local/bin/pihole: line  31 : source: /etc/pihole/versions : *Can not execute the binary file [translated from "ne peut exécuter le fichier binaire"]*
  Pi-hole version is v5.14.1 (Latest: v5.17.2)
  web version is v5.20.2 (Latest: v5.20.2)
  FTL version is v5.23 (Latest: v5.23)

The version file:

*u@pihole:~ $ ls -al /etc/pihole/versions*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 921 nov.   3 15:05 /etc/pihole/versions

*u@pihole:~ $ more /etc/pihole/versions*

Any idea ? Note that everything work fine, but I want to get rid of this update message
Thanks for all.

try pihole updatechecker ?

[evdt]

Hello,

I dont know what should be the expected output but I got this :

u@pihole:~ $ pihole updatechecker
/usr/local/bin/pihole: line 31 : source: /etc/pihole/versions : *Can not execute the binary file [translated from "ne peut exécuter le fichier binaire"]*
/usr/local/bin/pihole: line 31 : source: /etc/pihole/versions : *Can not execute the binary file [translated from "ne peut exécuter le fichier binaire"]*
u@pihole:~ $ sudo pihole updatechecker
/usr/local/bin/pihole: line 31 : source: /etc/pihole/versions : *Can not execute the binary file [translated from "ne peut exécuter le fichier binaire"]*

And I still have the "Pi-hole · Update available!" message on the web panel.

If it executes correctly, there should be no output.

Looks like your /etc/pihole/versions is corrupted and for some reason it's being read as a binary file.

Try to remove /etc/pihole/versions and run pihole updatechecker again.

Hello,

Thanks, it seems to work (or to removing the error message and the update message too).
