[OH5] OpenHABian - System update issue

Hello all, hello mstormi

After a couple of days I was logon on the OpenHABian menue,
The console tell me that:

After that I cannot more do an System-Update (menu point 02)…

From now on, I cannot make anymore an system update which I have done before many, many times, over many years.
