PiAware 8.1 - file cleanup

[dvsvejk]

An apt update/upgrade this morning brought PiAware 8.1. No issues with how it runs, but the install routine recommends apt autoremove for a slew of packages many of which are very necessary. What is up with that?

pi@piaware:~ $ sudo apt list --installed | grep auto-removable

What’s the piaware-release package you have installed?

[dvsvejk]

pi@piaware:~ $ sudo apt-cache policy piaware-release
piaware-release:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 8.1
  Version table:

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I manually installed piaware-release and that fixed the issue. Install also added and removed two other packages as noted below.

I need to verify this but I suspect the missing package might be because of an apt-get upgrade versus apt-get dist-upgrade; they have different conflict resolution rules.

[dvsvejk]

Checking the apt logs from when I hit the upgrade button this morning, piaware-release was removed.

Ok yeah that’s not right. I will have a look at what’s going wrong there today.

Re-imaged microSD Card with “piaware-sd-card-8.1.img”
Working flawlessly https://flightaware.com/adsb/stats/user/abcd567#stats-5252

Only little problem when tried to update:

E: Release file for http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/dists/bullseye/InRelease is not valid yet (invalid for another 53min 31s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.

Solved by running sudo raspi-config and changed Time-Zone and Locale. Could successfully update.

 

After update ran apt list --upgradeable -a

[tomvdhorst]

all packages upgraded by command, all working without a hitch on 8.1 now.
Would be nice to see a changelog from 7.2 to 8.1 ( 8.0 to 8.1 is just version numbering)

[jafrank]

Found this on GitHub:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flightaware/piaware_builder/master/changelog

[eric1tran]

Thanks for pointing these out. We’ll get this fixed in a minor release.

Will post a changelog shortly!

[jimMerk2]

So how do we get PiAware 8.1 ?
I did an upgrade yesterday, But if I do:
sudo apt-cache policy piaware
I get:

  Installed: 7.2
  Candidate: 7.2
  Version table:
 *** 7.2 500
        500 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abcd567a/rpi/master ./ Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

[tomvdhorst]

You are looking at the GitHub page of abcd567 instead of the flightaware page.
You can upgrade via sudo apt update/upgrade or via the flightaware stats page as noted in the announcement as long as you are looking towards the correct repository

[jimMerk2]

@tomvdhorst

as long as you are looking towards the correct repository

Yeah, how do I change to the correct repository?

[abcd567]

@jimMerk2

how do I change to the correct repository?

(1) First remove my repository

Deleting my repository from your Pi’s apt sources list is simple. Just issue following 2 command and it is done:

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

sudo apt update 

(2) Add Flightaware repository by following three commands

wget https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/f/flightaware-apt-repository/flightaware-apt-repository_1.1_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i flightaware-apt-repository_1.1_all.deb

sudo apt-get update 

(3) Now install piaware and dump1090 ver 8.1

sudo apt-get install piaware  

sudo piaware-config allow-auto-updates yes

sudo piaware-config allow-manual-updates yes


sudo apt-get install dump1090-fa  

(4) REBOOT

sudo reboot

[jimMerk2]

Ok thanks.
I think I previously installed the FlightAware repository before I added the abcd567 GitHub page. So it’s probably still there.

[jimMerk2]

I followed the above steps.
At step (3) I get:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install piaware
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
piaware is already the newest version (7.2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.```

[abcd567]

@jimMerk2

At step (3) I get

What is your Pi’s architecture? If it is arm64 or aarch64, you wont be able to upgrade from Flightaware repositories.

Please post output of these commands

uname -a

lsb_release -a

If output of first command shows 64-bit architecture, then use installation scripts from following post.

NOTE:
Installation by scripts is a lengthy process and takes some time. Please be patient and let the script run till it announces it has completed its job.

Install Piaware ver 8.1 on amd64 / x86_64, and arm64 / aarch64 Computers

 

[jimMerk2]

Yeah, It’s 64-bit:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 5.15.76-v8+ #1597 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 4 12:16:41 GMT 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release:	11
Codename:	bullseye

[jimMerk2]

Ok, that worked, thanks. Updated to 8.1.
As you say, it takes awhile. Seems to be running fine.
