Trouble with minicom on new install

Tgundo2003 · September 12, 2018, 1:27pm

Morning all-

Just did a fresh install, upgraded to a new Pi.

Everything went very smooth, copied over my config files and everything started working as it should.

One issue though- I am trying to put Minicom back on and I get this:

root@repeater:~# apt-get install minicom

Reading package lists… Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information… Done

E: Unable to locate package minicom

root@repeater:~#

Any ideas? I am running this as root.

Thanks!

Tom

Did you try running 'apt-get update'?

Hello Tom, Did you update apt-get? “apt-get update”

Same question twice! loo

Yes- did that, worked fine. Here’s the procedure I followed (Thanks Mike!):

Got the image from:

Index of /files/ASL_Images/Raspberry_Pi/Stretch

Put the image on the SD card.
Then I did this after it booted:

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel-headers raspberrypi-kernel
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo reboot

All the update/upgrades went fine.

Then I changed my PW’s and SSH port. Copied back my config files from backup to the /etc/asterisk folder.

That’s it.

Thanks!

To put closure on this- I did the apt-get update again, after I did it I was able to install minicom.

All is well, thanks for the help!
