Am I understanding this right, in order to update to 3.7.1, I need to download the new image and set it back up on my Rpi3?
I am currently on 3.6.3. Not the FA image. I did run sudo apt-get update and then upgrade and it shows 3.7.1 in my Skyview, but my Feeder Type still shows: PiAware (Debian Package Add-on) 3.6.3 on my stats page.
Package upgrade should be fine. I just sent a restart command to your feeder in case it didnāt restart on the new version for some reason when you upgraded, see if that helps.
(edit: nope. you definitely still have piaware 3.6.3 + dump1080-fa 3.7.1 installed, which is an unusual combination. try the upgrade again and check for anything unusual in what itās trying to install)
Yeah, I am getting this message when trying to update:
W: Target Translations (piaware/i18n/Translation-en) is configured multiple time s in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/piaware-stretch.list:1 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ piaware.list:1
Yep, jessie-to-stretch upgrades are going to be a bit hairy; we donāt test against that (just jessie, and stretch, individually; not an upgraded jessie) so itās possible that something broke.
If wiedehopfās suggestions donāt help, Iād plan to reimage with a Stretch image (can be standard Raspbian, thatās fine)
I have a 3.6.3. build, jessie (not upgraded to stretch), but I am unique (sort of) ā I have added on a few things to my Piā¦
Feeder for adsb-exchange
Feeder for Radarbox 24
Feeder for Planefinder
Feeder for Flightradar 24
PiVPN
And, I have moved everything (except /boot) to a SSD. (Initially set up on MicroSD then moved to USB SSD, modified boot command line and /etc/fstab)
Any gotchas I need to worry about specifically with the upgrade?
I did try just a simple sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, reboot, and it did not come back up. Iām remote (of course), so the unit is just wedged for now until I can get back and tend to it.
The answer is quite simple: Donāt modify a piaware sd-card like that, the possible results are untested.
Why not start with a stretch lite image when you get back to the box.
If itās not booting anymore i would do just that, really no way to say what the problem is.
(especially without even having access to the sd-card and even the i would just redo the image)
I canāt argue with your logic. Although, to be thorough, I will fix whateverās making it not boot and go in and rescue some configs from the other feeders firstā¦ but yes, your point is quite valid. I will end up on a fresh stretch instance, and everything will be in a supported configuration.
My thread got hijacked
Anyway, I tried what wiedehopf suggested. Here are my results. Tried updating but nothing updates. So maybe I just have to re-image all thisā¦

Sounds like you got it working now but next time you may need to do a dist-upgrade not an upgrade (it changes the conflict resolution rules a bit). Alternatively you could try sudo apt-get install piaware to specifically upgrade just piaware.
Itās the version of the operating system. (Like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10)
If the update doesnāt work itās important to know, otherwise itās not that important.
With the 3.6.3 image you should be on the newest version (stretch) anyway.
If you have the functionality enabled you can update via the cogwheel on your stats page.
Iām not sure why they are asking people to upgrade but iām sure FA has their reasons.
(Maybe it talks to the servers a little different)
But iām not aware of any plans to disable feeding with old versions so you donāt need to update i think.
