Under Settings, Mobile do you have Mobile Data enabled?

In general I don't get that with Mobian - it means apt has got its knickers in a twist which is a generic Debian issue you can ask Prof Duckduckgo about. But on the basis it is uncommon in Mobian I would recommend doing your download/flash again in case something is corrupt there.

Ops... wrong forum, sorry for the oversight.

Anyway, thanks dukla2000 for your answer and... yes, data enabled.

Asked Prof. Duckduckgo, before posting the tread: the steps suggested to fix the problem require an OS update, after the terminal work.
That's why I wrote about the updating issue in the same thread.

Think that the easier way for me is to reflash the SD and hope for the best.

Ciao

Quote:You will get some mysterious “Cannot update due to unmet dependencies” error in the software app if you try. So for the initial update, we recommend performing a manual update in the terminal (a great way to familiarize yourself with the terminal and Debian’s package manager called apt).
For this drop into the terminal King’s Cross (also called kgx, it has a subway logo). On the terminal issue:

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

sudo apt autoremove
