[OUTDATED] Repository https://abcd567a.github.io/ppa/piaware error 404 - Cannot update

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

Hi all,
I’ve got PiAware running on top of a standard Raspbian Lite build, built around 2 weeks ago.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian

Since this morning, the repository https://abcd567a.github.io/ppa/piaware is spitting a 404 error, as you can see from the apt update below:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt update
Hit:1 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian bullseye InRelease
Hit:2 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian bullseye InRelease

E: The repository 'https://abcd567a.github.io/ppa/piaware ./ Release' no longer has a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

This means that my PiAware cannot be updated. Is this a temporary 404 or has the repository been moved somewhere else/deleted?
Thank you.

That repository is not the official one, but created by user @abcd567 for getting Piaware running on newer versions.

You will need to wait for his response

Hi,
got the same problem and tried to tweak my raspi’s ppa using https://github.com/abcd567a/ppa , to no avail.

My repository did not provide upgrade, it was static, just a stop-gap arrangement till official packages are released by Flightaware. Because ver 6.1 is out-dated now, I have deleted that repository.

Those who have installed ver 6.1 packages from my PPA have 2 options:
(1) Wait for official release of ver 7.0 packages from Flightaware.
(2) Upgrade to “Unofficial” ver 7.0 packages which I have built and uploaded to new PPA I have created yesterday (please see method given below).

Please note that when Flightaware releases “Official” ver 7.0, you will need to delete my repository from your Pi by following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list

After that, add Flightaware repository and “Official” packages by method given at https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/install

How To Install Piaware 7.0 armhf and arm64 Packages from my Personal Package Archive (PPA):

(1) Please note that first two commands are very long and may be wrapped by forum into two lines. Copy these in full

(2) Please dont copy $ at start of command. It is put there to indicates start of a new command. Any line NOT starting with $ is actually continuation of the line immediately above it

$ sudo wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abcd567a/ppa/main/KEY.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

$ sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abcd567a/ppa/main/abcd567a.list

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install piaware

$ sudo apt install dump1090-fa

$ sudo apt install piaware-web

$ sudo piaware-config feeder-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

$ sudo reboot

 

Additional steps if you have already installed (or want to install) dump978-fa

$ sudo apt install dump978-fa

$ sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr

Serialize Dongles to 8-digit serial numbers 00001090 and 00000978
Configure dump1090-fa & dump978-fa to use the dongles with above serial numbers

$ sudo sed -i 's/^RECEIVER_SERIAL=.*/RECEIVER_SERIAL=00001090/' /etc/default/dump1090-fa

$ sudo sed -i 's/driver=rtlsdr[^ ]* /driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978 /' /etc/default/dump978-fa

$ sudo reboot

 

NOTE:
If you decide to install the unofficial version now, then please replace these by official packages when these are made available by Flightaware here:

https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/install

When installing official version, dont forget to first delete my repository from your Pi’s apt sources list by following command:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list

sudo apt update

amd that’s what i’ll probably do, even though your 6.1 “bullseye porting” works like a charm.
Thanks anyway for the prompt and kind reply.

Good decision.
When installing official packages from Flightaware, dont forget to delete my repository from your Pi’s apt sources list by following command:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list

Thank you @abcd567 for your quick reply. For now, what I’ve done is just removing your 6.1 repository with

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list

Then I’ve added your 7.0 repository and updated with:

This is because I’ve literally just put my Pi under the roof, and didn’t fancy taking it out again, formatting and reinstalling from zero. This is working for me, I can update normally and it seems to have updated PiAware to version 7.0
If someone else tries that too, please make sure to backup your microSD first, I don’t want to be responsible of any loss of data.

Whether you are using

32-bit Raspi OS Bullseye (armhf / armv7l)
OR
64-bit Raspi OS Bullseye (arm64 / aarch64),

the method described in this post above will install right type of packages, as the apt is quiet smart to find what is your OS and architecture, and will install right type of packages and dependencies.

I tried your instructions but got errors saying your security certificate is from the future. My clock is set correctly. Tried a reboot and then ran the commands again and got the same results…

OK, thankyou. I got further this time but with some errors at the end after install piaware command, as follows. Does this look correct?

It seems you either have broken packages, an old repository that’s not available anymore, or both. Try running:

sudo apt update --fix-missing

and see if you still get an error at the end of the apt command.

15

Thank you. It found some missing files so downloaded and am upgrading presently. Taking a while. Fingers crossed

16

What happened?
Did you succeed?

If succeeded, you will get following:

If the problem persists, it seems to be caused by following repository entry in your file
/etc/apt/sources.list (or in one of the files in directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/)

deb http://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/Linux/raspbian/raspbian/pool/main/

 

17

Yes that all worked and the commands you mentioned above gave the results you hoped for. Thankyou! Maybe the wifi was interupted during my initial attempts so have moved the pi closer and it worked.

Setting the feeder ID didnt seem to work. First tried this

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo piaware-config feeder-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
sudo: piaware-config: command not found

Then tried with my actual feeder ID instead of the xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx but got the same result.

Any ideas?

I then did the prescribed sudo reboot anyway, and tried the IP of the piaware but got this<

PiAware doesn’t appear to be running!

PiAware Version:
Dump1090-fa Version:
Dump978-fa Version:

CPU Temperature: C
CPU Load: %
System Uptime:

18

That goes to show piaware did NOT got installed.
What is output of following command?

apt-cache policy piaware

19

try this command:

sudo apt install --reinstall piaware

 

After above command completes its run, issue following command, and post its output:

apt-cache policy piaware

 

20

OK. Thanks. I ran it…

I checked the PiAware’s IP and it said

So I ran the feeder ID command and it worked!

ADSBx and FR24 are also now working

Thank you soooooo much!
