I tried to update my Pinephone CE using “sudo apk upgrade -a” and received the error

“Not continuing due to stale/unavailable repositories. Use --force-missing-repositories to continue”

I am on 23.12 with Phosh. I remember hearing that the Pinephone may be getting dropped from main to community so I wasn’t sure if this was related to that or something different. Is it safe to use the command it suggests ? I figured I would ask before blindly doing it.

    I tried the update command and the repos that the error occur on are

    “http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/main”

    “http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/community”

    I don’t get the error on my Pinebook Pro which si also on PostmarketOS 23.12 if that matters.

      Haven’t seen that error yet, but I’d suggest trying other Alpine mirrors (set them in your /etc/apk/repositories): https://mirrors.alpinelinux.org/

      (there’s also “apk fix” which helps when installing a package failed earlier for whatever reason, but that doesn’t seem to be the cause here)
