Troubleshooting • Re: Raspberry Zero 2 W // rpi-eeprom update

Not a fix per se, but a work-around...

Code:

sudo apt-mark hold rpi-eeprom

This will prevent apt from attempting to update the rpi-eeprom package, which is not used on Raspberry Zero 2 W since it doesn't have an EEPROM (the rpi-eeprom package is only of interest on the Raspberry Pi 4B and Raspberry 5).

I've tried this already :S It will prevent the upgrade stating it can't find a source to download rpi-eeprom:arm64. Like so:

:~ $ sudo apt-mark hold rpi-eeprom
rpi-eeprom set on hold.
:~ $ sudo apt full-upgrade

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
gtk2-engines-clearlookspix libcamera-apps libcamera0.1 libpisp0.0.1 libssl1.1 python3-pycryptodome rpicam-apps
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
E: Can't find a source to download version '19-1' of 'rpi-eeprom:arm64'
