Updating from 0.90.1 to 0.92.2 Problems under Raspbian Stretch

Installation
1

Hi guys, I am in trouble trying to update my Pi3 from 0.91.1 to 0.92.2 using a Pi3 and Raspbian Stretch.
I have have been updating the system with no problem at all, but this time something is wrong. I hope someone could help me to identify what should have to be done in order to update my system. Thanks for your help on this.
Below is the log after trying to update:

Per the install instructions, did you install:

$ sudo apt-get install python3 python3-venv python3-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev

Specifically, libffi-dev?

Thanks for your fast reply.
No, I didn’t. Should I do it?
All my previous updates installed its dependecies and so on.
Sorry asking if I should do it, maybe you can think that I should already tried to do it, but I just have to be in the safe side since I don’t want to break my system. It is still working.

Well, actually, now I see that you say you’re using hassbian. I don’t use that. Just Stretch and a venv. I got that from the instructions for that kind of install. But it seems to be complaining that libffi is missing. So it might be worth a try.

I Installed Raspbian Lite Stretch, installing HA in a virtual environment over it. I believe that I induced you to think it is Hassbian, while is not. It just the name that I gave (should have given another). Hassbian is an image with HA already enbedded in Raspbian, being a one time install (I believe). Sorry for the confusion.
So, I will try it and will let you now in a minute. Thanks.

Installed with no errors at all. Then I should try to update again right?

7

Yes, that’s correct.

Done! Running 0.92.2!
Thank you very very much for your help. It can be easy for you but not so for us below the curve… :slight_smile: You made someone happy today. Thanks!
