Hello, since yesterday I’m trying to install brewblox on my raspberry pi with the instructions on the brewblox page and it errors every time. I used different Pi’s, different SD Cards and different power cables,… After each failed installation I started to google but i’m a big raspberry/docker noob and nothing seemed to work (or I didn’t understand it). After the 8th time i stopped trying, because this error keeps appearing.
“sub-process/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)”
Is there any solution to this problem? I do not understand how it’s always the same error with new, clean SD Cards and even different raspberry pi’s (3 and 4).
Thank you for your help,
Maurice.
Dpkg is part of the apt/apt-get package manager used to install software on many versions of Linux.
It sounds like you already thoroughly ruled out hardware issues.
What was the install output before the error?
If there wasn’t really any error info, could you please run brewblox-ctl -v install for more detailed output?
Used your command and got this:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ brewblox-ctl -v install

I’ve seen this error before I think. The Docker install succeeded, but it failed to immediately start.
You can likely fix it by rebooting the Pi with reboot. Afterwards, run docker version to check.
If the output from that shows version info, restart brewblox-ctl install. It will detect docker is already installed.
It worked! Thank you very much!
