I have the same problem running a board with v26.2.1 for Rock 5B Plus running Armbian Linux 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx Packages: Debian stable (trixie) that there is no install candidate named 'armbian-config'. I have two different systems running Armbian, one with "Debian (stable) Trixie" (which has the problem) and one with "Ubuntu stable (noble)" (same Kernel 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx, same v26.2.1 dist) which has NO problem getting Armbian-Config package updated. After copying the apt-source from one to the other (Ubuntu -> Debian), it works fine. Was that intended? Here the code of the copied file '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.sources': Types: deb URIs: https://github.armbian.com/configng Suites: stable Components: main Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg Looks like it works fine now ... Could you please confirm if I am doing okay with this? Thx in advance

I do ran into the same problem today with my rock-3a running Armbian 24.2.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.6.16-current-rockchip64 It occurred after re-boot of the system because of the banner the message "Please reboot system do to kernel-updated" appeared. After that ethernet (was named "end0") did not come up anymore. When activating using "nmtui" the message comes: "Activation failed. Device could not be prepared for activation ..." (freely translated from German language). journalctl -x gives the following: (armbian-monitor -u already performed) Mar 14 10:51:01 cloud kernel: rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet end0: __stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19) Mar 14 10:51:01 cloud NetworkManager[745]: <info> [1710409861.7565] device (end0): state change: config -> failed (reason 'config-failed', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Mar 14 10:51:01 cloud NetworkManager[745]: <warn> [1710409861.7579] device (end0): Activation: failed for connection 'Ethernet' Mar 14 10:51:01 cloud NetworkManager[745]: <info> [1710409861.7588] device (end0): state change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') After all I updated the bootloader (using armbian-config) and it luckily resolved the problem ... Thx for reading this. Hope it helps others ...

Thx for your answer, Joekhoobyar. Yes, indeed, there are messages about "held BROKEN packages", but I did not put any packages on hold. Neither 'sudo apt-mark showhold' nor 'sudo apt-mark unhold' shows anything. What to do? I am a little bit of lost. What is the reason for this mismatch? How to get rid of it?

Thx folks for the upgrade instructions. Worked for me until I got this (when running the standard 'apt update && apt upgrade'): The following packages have been kept back: libffi-dev libsigrokdecode4 libssl-dev 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. Then it turns out that the system has broken dependencies (or what ever may be the reason). For example if I try to update rock@nextcloud:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo apt -f install libpython3.11 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Some packages could not be installed [...] The following packages have unmet dependencies: libpython3.11 : Depends: libpython3.11-stdlib (= 3.11.2-6) but 3.11.7-2 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. But when I try updating to the required version of "libpython3.11-stdlib" it says that it's already installed: rock@nextcloud:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo apt -f install libpython3.11-stdlib Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done libpython3.11-stdlib is already the newest version (3.11.7-2). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. And this is the case for other libraries, too. So I am not sure whether there is something wrong in gerenal ???!!!??? Info: I already tried cleaning apt and its corresponding /var/lib/apt/ dir several times. Please help ...
