Disto-upgrade - unmet dependencies

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
1

Hi,

I have one RPI2 that had release VERSION_ID=“2017.10-1”.
I wanted to upgrade it from the command line with apt-get upgrade; apt-get distro-upgrade

During process, at one point I got the following error:

Hard to tell without full logs.
Your system looks quite customised; with possible corruption of your Python installation and possilbly SD card.

As an aside, never run apt-get upgrade. You will destroy your system.

3

You could try

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpython3.5-minimal

since most of the files listed in the error messages come from that package.

Otherwise, as Sam says, post full logs.

Actually the system is not customized at all, and everything worked well until I tried to upgrade it. :frowning:
Thanks for the tip about apt-get upgrade.

There are packages there that are clearly not part of a standard OSMC install.
Logs might give some clues; but if your system really is standard, then a reinstall is easiest option.

7

What log do you need?

8

The system is standard. Reinstall is a last option.

Your apt logs indicate otherwise…

Start-Date: 2015-11-14 12:51:49 Commandline: apt-get install python3 dos2unix python3-requests bmon libav-tools sqlite3
Commandline: apt-get install transmission-daemon
Commandline: apt-get install samba
Among other custom installations…

Also,
Commandline: apt-get upgrade as opposed to dist-upgrade, is known to cause issues.

12

What are my options now?

13

Your SD card looks like it’s supported from serious corruption too from the Perl errors. It may be on its way out.

Start-Date: 2015-11-14  13:13:22
Commandline: apt-get upgrade

This would bork your system in the long run.
I’m not sure why you said the system isn’t customised though when it clearly is. That’s usually not a problem however.

You’d also be better off using Samba packages and Transmission packages from OSMC App Store.

You need to reinstall. You could tweak /var/lib/dpkg/status to get by, but future updates won’t work properly.

Thanks. I will reinstall everything from the beginning.
Thanks for help.
