Right, but does dump1090-fa, piaware, etc run on Trixie?
I flashed a micro-SD card with trixie, using the Raspberry Pi Imager, copying the flight-aware config file as previous.
Carried out the following steps:
- fully-patched trixie
- wget https://www.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/f/flightaware-apt-repository/flightaware-apt-repository_1.2_all.deb
- dpkg -i flightaware-apt-repository_1.2_all.deb
- apt update
This failed, with the message shown:
So I guess a tweak (or two) may be needed. In the meantime, I’ve reverted to my Bookworm SD card.
The error messages in response to above commands show that Flighaware has not yet made available their packages for Trixie from their repository.
However you can build & install these packages on Raspberry Pi OS Trixie, using automated scripts. as shown in following post. These scripts work both on arm64 / armhf (Raspberry Pi OS) as well as on amd64 / x86_64 (Laptop & Desktop PC):
Install Piaware on Debian 13 Trixie
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Build process first installs tool & dependency packages (which are large in number), and after that clones Flightaware’s source code and starts building the package. This process takes long time. Please be patient and let the script take it’s time to finish.
Ok, I installed dump1090-fa, piaware, piaware-web, and graphs1090 on Raspberry Pi Lite trixie OS..
All went reasonably smooth – in piaware install there were some tests that failed (tls I think) also some warnings about diversions to 10.2 version of piaware. However, these issues didn’t seem to matter. In piaware-web install it said it was installing on bookworm. Possible typo in script?
Seems to be running fine on a test system. Thanks.

What you have observered were not error messages, but were warning messages. If there was any error, the script will abort immediately with an “Error” message.
I have always encountered these warnings when using these scripts, but these warnings neither affect package building & instalation process, nor these affect operation of these packages after installation. Just ignore these.
Pre-built packages of piaware, dump1090-fa, piaware-web and dump978-fa for Raspberry Pi OS Trixie
Some times ago, I have built and uploaded to my PPA (Personal Packages Archives) at Github, following packages:
For RPi arm64
- piaware
- dump1090-fa
- piaware-web
- dump978-fa
- tcl-tls
For PC (Desktop & Laptop) amd64
- piaware
- dump1090-fa
- piaware-web
- dump978-fa
- tcl-tls
These can be installed by method given here:
debian13/README.md at master · abcd567a/debian13 · GitHub
NOTE:
I strongly ecommend that after installation of packages is comleted and running ok, remove entry of my PPA from your RPi’s apt sources list. This can be done by following commands:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list
sudo apt update
It is not an issue. It is intentional.
In installation script, I have added a command to put tcl-tls on hold so that the tcl-tls build by script is NOT replaced by the one supplied by apt from debian repository.
The debian repository supplied tcl-tls results in failure of piaware during running. The script builds a special version of tcl-tls, using source code from Flightaware. This version is compatible to piaware and does not cause it to fail.

Any news when the official PiAware repository will be updated? It seems like the Debian/RPi 12 version works perfectly fine on Debian/RPi 13. So it shouldn’t be much of a lift to add support.
Have you tested this by installing Debian12 / RPi versions of piaware packages on Debian13 / RPi?

Is there any word from FlightAware on their packages becoming available for Trixie? I had to replace my Pi and now I can’t install PiAware without doing the full build provided.

(1) What is the model of the new Pi on which you want to install piaware? Is it Pi Zero, Pi3, Pi4, or Pi5?
(2) Which OS have you installed on new Pi? Bullseye, Bookworm, or Trixie?
It’s a Pi Zero 2W and I have Trixie installed.
Zero 2W has a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, clocked at 1GHz.
Raspberry Pi OS Trixie is available for it in both 64-bit and 32-bit versions.
Which one you have installed, 64-bit or 32-bit?
If you are not sure, please post output of following commands:
(1) To display CPU architecture (32-bit or 64-bit)
uname -m
(2) To display OS architecture (32-bit or 64-bit)
dpkg --print-architecture
armv7 / armv8 = 32-bit CPU
aarch64 = 64-bit CPU
armhf = 32-bit OS
arm64 = 64-bit OS
Sorry, both arm and aarch is 64.
Both CPU & OS are 64-bit.
This is good news. Sometime ago I have built 64-bit packages for RPi OS trixie, and uploaded to Github. These can be installed on Zero 2W with same ease as installing these from Flightaware. Please see following post for details:

Well these took a few minutes but did work! Thank you.

Glad to know it worked and piaware on your Zero W2 with OS Trixie is up & running.
To avoid future conflict with Flightaware (when they make these packages available), please remove entry of my PPA from your RPi’s apt sources list. This can be done by following commands:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list
sudo apt update
Already did remove the file! Thank you!
