Not sure what went wrong, I’m relatively new to uConsole. I tried updating the OS and I keep getting this error:

_\>Setting up clockworkpi-kernel (6.6.73-v8-16k+) …_

What am I doing wrong here?

DKMS trouble… Can you identify the affected module (`xtrx`)? Is it something bundled with the image? You may have to uninstall the module package first, then try updating again. But be sure that it doesn’t break something.

I don’t run Debian myself. (But I would if I get my hands on the CM5.)

I’m starting to glean that this is a general problem when updating, and that’s why there are so many custom images. I’m going to ignore the problem, migrate to a different image, and not update it. Problem avoided, if not solved. Thank you for your help, though, I really appreciate it - and Debian runs great on CM4, so I can only imagine it’ll be great on CM5.
