pmbootstrap error

[lat]

I attempted to install pmos to SD card using pmbootstrap.  I tried 'shelli' and 'none' for UI.  I tried both on archlinux laptop and on pinephone running archlinux (from eMMC).  Below is the error I'm getting in all cases.  Any ideas how to deal with this error?  Could this error be because of archlinux?

Code:

Choosing stable rather than edge worked successfully.  Marking thread as solved.

However, I'd prefer to use edge in the future.  I hope the problem that I've encountered above will be gone by then.  My initial choice against stable was because it's version number V.20.05 looked like May-2020, half year ago, but I don't know for sure.  Perhaps, someone can confirm this or correct me.  Maybe this stable version is current, judging from apk upgrade output 'OK: 211 MiB in 184 packages' and nothing else to do.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to exloring pmos for the first time!  Glad that the original error in this thread has not deterred me, especially that I found pmos-based sxmo refreshingly exciting.

The errors are gone with pmbootstrap version 1.27.0
