Domoticz

Hello,
I am not able to install Domoticz on my RP3B.
I tried the easy way as mentioned on the website but the installation always stops at the same point.
It has to do with "Checking for libudev-dev." See:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -L install.domoticz.com | bash
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

As a newbie, I do not understand the solutions in the links...
I have some information about my raspian :

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Raspbian
Description:	Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release:	10
Codename:	buster

I think this is OK.
But the installation stiil stops at the same point...

I think I have solved the problem. I costed me hours...
I think it all had to do with updates, upgrades, versions etc.

This is the story :
I also had another problem with my raspian desktop environment, so I decided to solve that during waiting for an answer of this forum.
I could not open the tab "Recommended Software" under "Preferences". It always stopped with an error like :

Code: Select all

Error updating package data - E: Repository 'https://raspbain.raspberrypi.org/raspbain buster inRease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'testing' to 'stable'

Browsing the internet, I read that more people had this problem and I found the following solution for this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change

After this I did again :

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade

This time the upgrade took longer then before and after this the "Recommended Software" tab was opening without the error !

Now I had the feeling that I had a "better" update/upgrade then before (?) and I tried the install of Domoticz again :

Code: Select all

curl -L https://install.domoticz.com | bash

And now for the first time the installation passed the point :

Code: Select all

Checking for libudev-dev...

!!!

!
It took a little longer time then the other checkings, but the installation went to the end !

So this --allow-releaseinfo-change addition seems very important and solved my problem.
Only a "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" is probably not enough !

But as a newbie I don't know exactly what I did and why...
Can someone explain what happened ? Do I have to use this --allow-releaseinfo-change in future during updates or not ?
I assume I am not the only one with this issue, so I hope that this can help other people too.
Answers will be appreciated
