Date is invalid on Debian Bookworm for Odroid N2+ and breaks apt

[rodw-au]

#8 refers - data in resolv.conf is still wrong in Bookworm on Odroid N2+. (same as N2 just with faster processor)
I know the N2+ is on the network because ifconfig reports an IP address and I can ping that IP from another PC on the network.

I can diagnose the fault but I don't know how to fix this in the absence of a text editor.
PS I am really excited to find your images.... Now I just have to get the networking working...

Any help fixing this would be appreciated.

I thought I may have corrupted something. So I reburnt the emmc card and made sure my network cable was connected on first boot as it wasn't connected the first time.

/etc/resolve.conf contains nameserver 127.0.0.53 (which is nonsense)
resolvectl status reports DNS 192.168.1.1 which correctly reports my gateway.

ifconfig is depreciated. It would be helpful if the following debian packages were included so problems like this could be resolved:
iproute2 (ip command - replacing obsolete ifconfig)
iputils-ping (ping command)
nano (basic text editor)

With these, I don't think I would be bothering you.

This is not nonsense. It's pointing to systemd-resolved.

You can install all of these with apt.

Maybe I assumed to quickly it was related to Issue #8 so I apologise for not understanding how resolve works.

Let me rephrase the issue. I am unable to install anything with apt.
I do use apt quite a lot so do know how it works.

I tried several times with several installs of all the images for the odroid N2 you provide.
(Only sid and bookworm boot to a logon screen but I'll raise the issues I see when I get past this hurdle.)

Its certainly an issue as I cannot install anything from the repos.
I checked sources.list is set correctly for debian
I see downloads on an apt update
resolvectl status shows 192.168.1.1 which is my gateway.
apt can't find anything that is in the repos
I'm not sure how to proceed or troubleshoot.

Any logs or error messages?

[rodw-au]

I'll have another go when I get a bit of time and take some photos of the screen.

apt update seems to run correctly but says something about you can't use something yet.

cat /etc/apt/sources.list seems to show a normally formatted file but includes security settings.
I don't believe security repos should be included while Bookworm is still Testing branch so I assumed that was what generated the warning but did not expect that to be an issue.

apt upgrade says there is nothing to upgrade, no errors

apt install some-package says the package is not found despite being in the debian repos

apt install nano says nano is not in the repository but is mentioned elsewhere. The only one I tried which returned this message.

Ok I sorted this and updated the title accordingly.
The System date and time was set to 30 Jan (18 days ago)
This throws the error
Release file for http://deb.debian/dists/bookworm/InRelease is not valid yet
Solution is to:
find your timezone here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

timedatectl set-timezone 'Australia/Brisbane' 
timedatectl set-time '2023-02-16 17:31'  #Current local time
timedatectl  status   #to confirm settings
apt update
apt upgrade

Sorry for being so off the mark initially. I had never experienced this issue before.
Perhaps this could be documented somewhere.

Could be that your NTP client doesn't have any NTP server to connect to. I pushed a change that adds fallback NTP servers in case the DHCP server is not providing any.
