After Raspbian update unable to start emlid tool

Navio / Edge Raspbian
1

Hallo there,
today I was about to configure mu arduplane on emlid2+raspberyII. When connected with Mission Planner I got message the new Aprduplane is available. Since current version on my raspberry was 3.9.0 I decided to update it. So I connected with PuTTY and typed:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
After raspbian got updated I wanted to start emlid tool:
emlidtool ardupilot
Then I got unpleasant message like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/emlidtool”, line 11, in
sys.exit(main())

pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (six 1.12.0 (/usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages), Requirement.parse(‘six==1.10.0’), {‘emlidtool’})

Has anybody here hint for me, how to fix it please?

Hi @lospalos,

It seems there is a package six that requires another version (1.10.0). You can install it using pip.

4

With python installation I’m quite beginner. Please would you specify more precisely how to get there python 1.10.0?

Anyway should not be also emlidtool updated? I mean - I read documentation carefully and according to it I just tried to update my autopilot - see the section about Upgrading (https://docs.emlid.com/navio2/common/ardupilot/upgrade/)
I followed the instructions and now I have got not working emlidtool :frowning:
How is it with emlidtool, should it to be upgraded to? Should I have to add some new repository for apt to make it upgrade?

Now I tried to reinstal emlidtool with apt remove and apt install but it didn.t help. Now when trying to start emlidtool get more strange error:
pi@navio:~ $ sudo emlidtool ardupilot

How can I reinstall ardupilot? When listing apt I get these packages starting with ardu:

Which should I remove and install again?

Hi @lospalos,

You can reinstall six package using the following commands:
sudo pip uninstall six
sudo pip install six==1.10.0

Could you please post the output of apt show rcio-firmware command?

May I ask you to clarify why do you want to reinstall ardupilot?

Hi Tatiana,
I decided to use completely new image from emlid, so now it is OK.
Anyway the latest Arduplane I can get from emlid is 3.8. And when starting Missionplanner I get hint on newer version of Arduplane: 3.9.5. It is quite big difference. So the question is why emlid doesn’t update arduplane (or even arducopter) to the latest version from Ardupilot project? I mean it sould be updated when I start
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
but it isn’t :frowning:
So when I want to use latest version of Arduplane (3.9.5) I have to download it from builds: http://firmware.ardupilot.org/Plane/stable/navio2/arduplane
and manually replace current version set by emlidtool (which for now is 3.8). It is located somewhere in /etc/default I guess. This is but not clear solution, since emlidtool would display still version 3.8, isn’t it?

Hi @lospalos,

We’ll update ArduPilot version to the latest stable in the nearest time.

Thanks!
