Problem upgrading from Piaware 6.1 to 7

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

I ran the upgrade and restart and got these errors. I reran it a bit later and got the same errors. Any ideas? File size seems to be off by one byte. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

PiAware 6.x is based on Debian Buster, 7 is based on Bullseye. They’re completely different versions so you can’t easily upgrade in place. The easiest way would be to burn the PiAware 7 image to a spare SD card then enter your latitude, longitude, antenna height ASL, and your unique feeder ID. Otherwise, abc567 posted instructions on how to upgrade a current system to Bullseye but I can’t find that thread right now.

Thank you. I did not know about the switch to Bullseye. I can do that, although since I also feed FR25 and ADSBx, as well as some custom code to notify my of interesting a/c nearby, it will be more work than just a click upgrade!
