No longer able to install on Raspberry Pi

Support
41

ok thanks

42

is that two command lines Andre?

the curl line first, let it run then run the sudo line or is it all one command?

Iā€™ve been locked out of the forum, I have to wait 17 hours before I can post again apparently !

Two lines. The seconds installs the file downloaded by the first command.

If the first fails, try using curl -k instead of plain curl

Stretch is the development codename for Debian 9. Stretch receives Long-Term-Support since 2020-07-06. It was superseded by Debian Buster on 2019-07-06. Security updates have been discontinued as of 2020-07-06.

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianStretch

I missed the LTS part.

45

Thatā€™s pretty contradictory, stating that itā€™s in Long Term Support but does not receive security updatesā€¦

46

Debian has a security team that normally coordinates security patches. This is the official kind of security updates and is provided for stable and for oldstable, until oldstable is about a year old.

After this period, there is ā€œunofficialā€ security support by others not part of the security team. Thatā€™s what they call LTS.

47

Debian at itā€™s best: Technically good solutions, support for a really long time, ā€¦, but PR/documentation is lacking at best, more like almost actively confusing.

Isnā€™t that a little bit too harsh? :wink:

Iā€™ve relied on Debianā€™s documentation regarding hardware drivers a few times, and Iā€™d say they do provide a lot of valuable information that cannot be found anywhere else. Is there any other, community-driven distribution that provides better documentation?

Obviously, there is no comparison between it and, for example, Red Hatā€™s documentation, which is excellent. This one is written by (probably very well) paid employees though.

Hi All,

Sorry I got blocked from this forum for making too many postsā€¦Bizarre!

Anyway do I take it that Iā€™m never going to be able to install Syncthing on my older systems until I update to Buster, as the security updates are just not available?

Sorry you got blocked, I donā€™t think that was anyoneā€™s intention here.

I think you can manage to get it installed. Have you tried my latest suggestion? If needed use curl -k.

51

Thanks fir sticking with it Andreā€¦Yes I tried that, this was the result:

curl http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/c/ca-certificates/ca-certificates_20210119_all.deb
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<address>Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Server at mirrordirector.raspbian.org Port 80</address>

and then:

sudo apt install ./ca-certificates_20210119_all.debReading package lists... Done
E: Unsupported file ./ca-certificates_20210119_all.deb given on commandline
52

that was actually curl -k

I keep getting an error message when trying to reply now that says that I have made too many posts on the first dayā€¦which is odd because this is the 6th Day.

53

Note you can edit posts if itā€™s just a small detail you forgot to add. That may save you from hitting that limit.

In general, if some command fails then it makes no sense to continue with the next, because in this case it cannot find the file that failed to download in the first step.

So it tells you that the file was moved to a different location. You need to try again with the URL contained in the response. Or just download it manually from another PC and transfer to the Pi somehow. I donā€™t know why curl didnā€™t follow the lead by itself, my browser did so.

When you have the updated .deb file, try the second command again from the directory where it is saved on the Pi.

Hi acolomb, I am trying to install Syncthing on a netgear nas running ReadyNAS os6 I believe I am suffering from the same certificate problem. I followed the instructions on this thread and here is my result:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ca-certificates : Depends: openssl (>= 1.1.1) but 1.0.1t-1+deb8u12 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

From what I read online, Netgear is using a modified and old version of Debian. Which I guess is using a older version of opensslā€¦ Any tips would be appreciated. I am sorry, very much a noob with linux stillā€¦ Thank you

55

Sorry againā€¦ looks like this is a common issueā€¦ this worked for me cant update syncthing via apt anymore

56

Thanks for the hint, that looks promising. Probably also helps @peteb with his circumstances.
