dpkg: error processing package

  • Hi there,


    I'm Mike and I'm new to the world of OMV. I've had a Synology 107+ voor a few years until it got to old and back then I didn't realy needed it.

    These days my kids want to have an easy solution for getting there photos from there phones and to keep them save. The same goes for there homework.

    I also would like a place for my 3D models to be stored before sending them to the 3D printer.


    I have a Raspberry Pi 4B here with a 16 gb micro SD card running Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-BIT).

    I bought 2 512gb Sandisk Ultra Fit usb sticks that I want to use for storage.
    But for some reason I can't get OMV to be installed on the Pi. And it already starts when installing the preinstall of OMV.

    I get al kind of errors! errors like below:

    dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'publicsuffix' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

    dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'python3-smbus2' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed

    dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'dbus-bin' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed


    and like


    dpkg: error processing package linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712 (--configure):

    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-rpi-2712:

    linux-image-rpi-2712 depends on linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712 (= 1:6.6.62-1+rpt1); however:

    Package linux-image-6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712 is not configured yet.


    I've been reinstalling the Pi OS Lite over and over again. Updating it...reboting...installing OMV...but it always fails.

    Can somebody point me in the right direction to solve this?

  • macom

    Approved the thread.
  • I've done that twice now.....still the same outcome.
    I've also formatted and re-imaged the micro SD card on a different computer....still the same result.

    Can I also put the image of OMV on the sd card via the Etcher tool without the need of the Raspberry Pi OS?

    Can I also put the image of OMV on the sd card via the Etcher tool without the need of the Raspberry Pi OS?

    Nope. The ISO is for amd64.


    Are you able to run an upgrade before you run the pre-install script to install OMV? Or is this already causing issues?

  • That also is having problems with missing files and errors indeed.

    But that should be.....The Pi OS is fresh installed...verified...booted using a LAN cable not wifi...and I can connect to it via Windows terminal or Putty.
    I then can do sudo apt-get update and after that sudo apt-get upgrade -y

  • I found a solution on the Pi forum:


    sudo apt update

    sudo apt full-upgrade

    sudo apt --fix-broken install

    sudo apt autoremove


    I don't know if the last 2 lines were necessary but I did them anyway.


    It's now busy with the install. Preinstall got no errors and the install already takes longer then before with the errors.

    So...so far so good!
