Hi,
I get some issue regading update-nonroot
Gateway :
Workstation :
Thanks for the support.
Still the same error 4 days later.
What’s up ?
Is my system broken ?
Thanks
You’re unfortunately experiencing issues that nobody else is experiencing
These aren’t issues with upgrade-nonroot which just runs “sudo apt update” followed by “sudo apt dist-upgrade”.
Don’t know why this is happening, but this might help:
sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change
This I’ve never seen before. Needs to be resolved as per https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Free_Support_Principle.
Could also be hardware issues. → Hardware Issues
I haven’t changed any hardware pieces.

I know I am an unlucky man.

Unfortunately not.

One issue less. (The second screenshot of yours.) For the other one, same reply:
Workstation issue seems to be solved.
EDIT 1 : Confirmed => solved
EDIT 2 : no clue how to solve Gateway issue.

Question : Is my system compromised if I can’t solve the matter? Thanks for your support.
files list file for package ‘bind9-dnsutils’ is missing final newline
rewrite to:
files list file for package is missing final newline
For more generic search results.
Then use https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Free_Support_Principle / search engines.
Sorry but is it possible to correct it without spending hours reading what I don’t undertand and without destroying my Gateway furthermore?
EDIT : I do not get any result in the search engine regarding bind9-dnsutils

bind9-dnsutils is already the newest version (1:9.16.33-1~deb11u1).
bind9-dnsutils set to manually installed.

No, it’s not. Because I also don’t know and couldn’t figure it out without spending hours.
It’s not specific to bind9-dnsutils most likely. More likely a general issue with the APT package management system. Hence:
Thank you for all that goodwill @Patrick
EDIT : came back to a previous snapshot, let’s see how I can manage this.
EDIT 2 : solved
