Hey,
I’m trying to do a fresh install onto my spark 3. But the new Install guide doesn’t seem to work for me nd I can’t find the random set of posts I used to install everything last time. I’m stuck at Step 3 when I run the
brewblox-ctl install command I get the following message.
Hit:2 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian buster InRelease
Hit:3 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease
Reading package lists… Error!
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://download.docker.com/linux/raspbian buster InRelease: Splitting up /var/lib/apt/lists/download.docker.com_linux_raspbian_dists_buster_InRelease into data and signature failed

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Command ‘sudo apt update’ returned non-zero exit status 100.
If I try and do any of the other steps it’ll just return the same error message set. have I done something wrong here?
Cheers,
It looks like it downloaded some corrupted file during a package manager update.
You can try removing the cache, and then retrying the install
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt update
brewblox-ctl install
Thanks Bob! That got the install done. Now I’ve come across a new issue. I can’t flash the spark, when doing that step I get the following error.
pi@raspberrypi:~/brewblox $ brewblox-ctl flash

I’ve tried flashing in safemode, normal the USB cable is capable of data and power and the Spark address is seen as per one of your other posts.
thank you for your assistance
Depending on your version, you may not have to flash the Spark over USB. If I recall correctly, the last update that required a USB flash was about a year ago.
For more recent versions, you can skip the flash, and update the firmware through the UI.
If only the Spark is connected to your Pi, it may be solved by unplugging the USB cable, waiting a bit, and then reconnecting it. USB detection in the flasher is not perfect, and it checks the first/most common address as fallback.
I’ll have a look on this end to check whether anything reproduces.
