Apologies if I've missed a post that deals with this already - I took a look but couldn't spot anything addressing this problem. I'm running OMV 6.9.16-1 Shaitan on an old Raspberry Pi 3 with a couple of external drives attached for storage. While it's been running relatively well, I've had two recent problems.
First, I'm unable to update package python3-pkg-resources 52.0.0-4+deb11u1 using the OMV6 update interface. When I try I get the following error message:
Reading package lists...

I'm unable to figure out what I need to turn off in order to delete the connection (have switched off Portainer, SMB, etc. with no success), which is a bit annoying. However, I saw that OMV7.x has a Reset Permissions Plugin, so figured it would be easier to simply backup my Pi's SD card and upgrade the entire setup to OMV7.
Unfortunately, when I try to run omv-release-upgrade, I get the same python3 package error as above. I've no idea how to fix the problem - there's a URL in the error message, but being a novice to all this I couldn't figure out what troubleshooting steps I need to do to fix (what I assume to be) the syntax error and successfully install python3/OMV7.x.
Grateful for any guidance others may have to address this problem!
