    One thing left to mention, just for the files:

    To make things easier, some weeks ago I started with setting up one
    sample machine very carefully, I installed everything needed, created
    the necessary users, made all updates, and then I created two tgz-balls,
    one for boot and one for rootfs.

    Making a new instance out of it can now be easily done by taking a new
    SD card out of the box, overwrite the first hundred MBs with 'cat
    /dev/zero
    /dev/sdb' (stopping after some seconds) on a linux machine, then create
    a Win95 partition with 256MB and the whole remaining space with linux filesystem using fdisk.

    Afterwards I only have to format both partitions with the appropriate filesystem type and restore the backups.

    Of course, the machine name has to be changed in /etc/hosts and /etc/ hostname, the most recent updates have to be applied and so on.

    "And so on": The partition IDs have to be adapted also:

    When the SD card is mounted on a Linux workstation, then the two
    raspberry partitions will show up as (e.g.) /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 or
    similar -- just verify. Then get their partition names with blkid /dev/ sdb{1,2} and update boot/cmdlist.txt and rootfs/etc/fstab on the SD card.

    Otherwise your cigarette box won't boot.

    Best regards,

    Markus

    That makes sense. Thanks.

    If it makes anything better -- I tried to boot my experimental R-Pi 3b+ yesterday. Took three tries before it showed up on my router. Ran the apt update/upgrade sequence, and upgrade failed with the same error you have.

    I copied off the top level my home directory, removed the SD card, and formatted it with SD Card Formatter. Now preparing to install new OS.

    It appears that the R-Pi organization has dropped the NOOBS installer, and only provides downloads for each specific OS.
