Update attempt on version 1.6.1 fails

[PatrickMans]

I have installed octoprint on a raspberry pi 4B (2GB) and used that for quite some time a few years back. For over a year, I have not used my 3D printer so octoprint has unused since then. I am currently still running version 1.6.1.
I have been trying to upgrade the software to the newest version, without any luck.

The logging shows:

How can I overcome this? Do i need to update to intermediate versions, or do a fresh install of the software on the pi?

Thanks,
Patrick.

This is an OctoPi issue tracker, for the OctoPrint issue tracker take a look at:
https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint/issues

A syntax error might suggest you are using an deprecated version of python, what version of OctoPi are you using?

[PatrickMans]

On the octoprint github repo it clearly states:
"If you want to run OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi, you really should take a look at OctoPi which is a custom SD card image that includes OctoPrint plus dependencies."

I rebuild a new sdcard with the latest version and even there I have not succeeded in getting it to work.

Moreover, this is about updating the octopi version that fails, that uses the octoprint as one of the plugins among others.

@PatrickMans I don't understand what you mean by "rebuilding" - did you flash the latest rpi image on an sd card?
Also you did not provide the version of OctoPi, so I am not sure what you are using and how new or old it is.

[PatrickMans]

Indeed, i flashed the latest image on a new clean sd card.

@PatrickMans What is the latest image you are using? There is a stable version and a nightly.
