Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debloper/xiosk/issues/141

When running the installation script, on a Raspberry Pi OS (October 1, 2025 image), I'm getting the following errors:

joe@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/debloper/piosk/v4.0.1/scripts/setup.sh | sudo bash -

2 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
Package jq is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Error: Package 'jq' has no installation candidate
Error: Unable to locate package wtype
joe@raspberrypi:~ $ 

What needs to be done to install jq and wtype?

I did update the base image with apt upgrade.

Resolved - downgraded to Raspberry PI Bookwork v5.7 OS. It seems many packages are missing from Raspberry Pi OS 6.0.

Unsure of the RPiOS version you've mentioned. Can you please post a link (or screenshot) to the particular RPiOS you're talking about?

It was this one: https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspios_arm64/images/raspios_arm64-2025-10-02/

At the time, it was the latest RPiOS available.

Do you know if the latest release of Trixie are compatible with your script? I had to use Bookwork Raspbian OS for your script to function.

Thanks.

I was (and still am) confused by the Raspberry Pi OS version 5.7 and 6.0 part.

The link you posted doesn't shed any light on that, and it should work fine on the latest trixie releases (if not, we should fix that... which is why I'm trying to understand what's broken, which packages are missing etc).

Your script worked fine on the latest Bookworm OS (5.7) but failed on Trixie (6.0).

I have not tested on the latest version of Trixie which was updated a few weeks ago.

The missing packages are jq and wtype.

Where are you getting the version numbers from?

AFAIK Bookworm is Debian version 12 and Trixie is Debian 13. Where is the reference to the 5.7 and 6.0?

Apologies if that's something super obvious (probably is) but I am simply not seeing it anywhere (apart from you mentioning it), which is why I'm asking for clarifications. Can you please run uname -a on those installations and post the screenshot (or STDOUT/STDERR)?

Each build of Raspberry Pi OS seems to have a version number associated with it, perhaps it is not official.
