That’s what I figured, but it still popped up with an error on my screen.
Can you try a neighbour / friend’s WiFi or tether from your phone?
I do not have access to either of those, no. Even if so, why would it give me that error screen if there weren’t any automatic updates to get?
You’ve been asked for logs, you probably should post them.
Because the update check would be failing.
This jumps out at me:
deb https://ftp.fau.de/osmc/osmc/apt/ stretch main
Why are you not using the default:
deb http://apt.osmc.tv stretch mainAs I mentioned in post #17, most Debian repositories don’t support TLS - and that includes ftp.debian.org and security.debian.org. Your /etc/apt/sources.list contains:
deb https://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free
deb https://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free
deb https://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

AFAIK, you cannot use https for security.debian.org, so you’re stuck.
Alright, I am a bit confused. What should my /etc/apt/sources.list look like?
Using the first example on the list of https sites:
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free
#deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
deb https://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at/mirror/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb https://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at/mirror/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
deb https://ftp.fau.de/osmc/osmc/apt/ stretch main
#deb http://apt.osmc.tv stretch mainThank you (for this and all your help).
I made that change, and now I do not get any errors during the apt-get update nor dist-upgrade. (No updates to get, obviously, but no errors.)
