Upgrade on Raspberry Pi hang or loop

General
1

Hi,
I have a raspberry Pi 3 with the raspbian image from last year installed.
When I want to upgarde the node-red software with this command:

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/raspbian-deb-package/master/resources/update-nodejs-and-nodered)

The script hangs.
Then I found this help note in the forum:
Stop node red then uninstall node 8.x
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
then remove the node 8.x repository spec
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
Then re-run the script.

But the script hang at the point "install NODE.js LTS"
The last Entry in the Logfile was:
Trigger für man-db (2.7.6.1-2) werden verarbeitet

What could I do now?

try installing nodejs yourself and then try again

How long did you leave it?

Now the script finish the install process.
Node-red work fine but I found some warning and error messages in the upgrade logfile:

Is this a problem?

You appear to have [quote="webtour, post:4, topic:10916"]
node -v v12.2.0
[/quote]
installed which might be a problem with some nodes especially those which use the serial port.

6

The script should not install node 12, earlier in the install log you should see it installing node, it should probably be 10.x. Can you see that bit of the log?

7

Well having been advised to install nodejs manually they have done just that... so can't blame them for that.

8

The first paragraph of the installation page does say which nodejs version is recommended...

True, I missed that, I thought the script had just finished when @webtour waited a bit longer.
