new update/upgrade script, ready for testing

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia also, make sure you back up…

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia so the prior version install of node20 went ok as expected.

but I don’t see the ‘npm’ item in the install list

Reading state information... Done
Suggested packages:
  npm  <-------  I don't see this
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  nodejs
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 20 not upgraded.

so lets do the uninstall again
and then try

sudo apt remove npm

@sdetweil

After an uninstall it says npm isn’t installed. I tried the install again and it’s still installing 12.22.12

I did the backup. I’m just going to rebuild. It’s annoying but it should work. :crossed_fingers_light_skin_tone:

@gonzonia one more try… got some feedback from node user

hang on while I do a quick test

do this

sudo cat  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

I see

deb [arch=arm64 Pin-Priority:600 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_20.x nodistro main

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil

pi@MagicMirror2:~ $ sudo cat  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_20.x nodistro main

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia ok, suggestion was to add the pin-priority

try the node20_install.sh again from my repo

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil
Same thing. I feel like this line is the issue ----“Selecting previously unselected package nodejs.” How can I clear wherever it’s finding that?

(I also tried the uninstall from your repo and install, same thing)
