Issue:
After powering up the Raspi with an new OpenHAB image on the SD card, installation process takes endless, and hangs on: " Waiting for dpkg/apt to get ready…"
After some trials installation may proceed but ends with the error message:
“[openHABian] Installing git package… FAILED”
“[openHABian] Initial setup exiting with an error!”
When trying
sudo apt-get install git
this will fail with a message like
“…/buster/InRelease is not valid yet (invalid for another 506d 20h 31min 28s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.”
Root cause:
System clock of Raspi is running on a date in the past because it could not reach the NTP-server for time sync. This happend because the new IP-address for the Raspberri assigned by the router (Fritzbox) had restricted internet access.
Solution:
Ensure full internet access for the Raspberri during set up (router security) and repeate the complete set up from the SD-card with the latest OH image.
