I used to run PiAware on a RaspberryPi Zero W for quite a while until the RPi gave the ghost. The unavailability of RPi Zero 2W’s and the recent announcement of the OrangePi Zero 2W (with the same form factor as the RPi Zero2W) triggered the order button on the OPi Zero 2W.
There are 4 Linux distributions are available for the OPi Zero 2W namely Linux 5.4 and Linux 6.1 in both Debian and Ubuntu flavors. Each distribution comes with a Server or Desktop image. Installing anyone of these images can be done without any problems.
Since the PiAware install page here on FlightAware refers to the Raspbian Bullseye installation on the RPi, I decided to go for the Debian Bullseye Server 6.1.31 on the OPi and followed the instructions on that page.
However, at the end of the step:
sudo apt-get update
I get the following message
E: The repository ‘http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages bullseye Release’ does not have 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.
N: Repository ‘https://repo.huaweicloud.com/debian bullseye InRelease’ changed its ‘Version’ value from ‘11.7’ to ‘11.8’

I have tried
apt-get update --allow-insecure-repositories
but no luck
I also tried the 5.4 Bullseye version with the same result.
I noticed that same exact error message for the first time today. This is a Pi running the official Raspian Lite Bullseye and a FA 8.2 package install. I normally manually check for updates every few days and first saw that error today.
Since this is a current system that is frequently updated, I suspect it might be a temporary issue, perhaps with https redirection at the FA server itself. You might have just had the bad luck of trying to install on an unlucky day.
For me, I will just try again in a few days and see if FA has sorted out the issue.
By the “same message”, I meant the attempt to redirect https to http. Obviously, the last part of the message is different for me because of the OS used here.
There’s been some website rearrangements recently and it looks like there is a stray http → https redirect happening (the raspbian mirror is meant to be excluded from that). I’ll ask ops to take a look.
As for the other posters in a different thread, I can confirm that the Release file problem has been solved.
However, this is what I saw after the fix at the same step.
N: Skipping acquire of configured file ‘piaware/binary-arm64/Packages’ as reposi tory 'http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages bullseye InRelease’ doe sn’t support architecture ‘arm64’
N: Repository ‘https://repo.huaweicloud.com/debian bullseye InRelease’ changed i ts ‘Version’ value from ‘11.7’ to ‘11.8’
When I ignored that, this is what I got in the response following the step
> sudo apt-get install piaware
The following packages have unmet dependencies: piaware:armhf : Depends: tcllib:armhf but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So, I did some google searching and found abcd567’s github repository.
Followed the instructions after a fresh install of the Debian Bullseye server and … success!
Thank you very much abcd567! You may now add the Orange Pi Zero 2W to the list of compatible platforms in the description.
