You said you had just installed it, but it shows a date for the first install of 21st December.

I noticed that as well.
That's why I marked it.
I re-wrote the SD card with the new OS today.
Everything would have to be deleted?
Does the Raspi5 have a problem updating the date/time?

It should update the date/time when it connects to the internet.

Also strange is the fact that the first log shows the correct version is installed, from the nodesource repository:

However the second one shows it removing a different version, the one from the debian repository:

So something very strange has been going on.

I'll do another fresh installation and see how the Raspi5 behaves.

Just to say that I have Node-RED running on a Rasp Pi5 using the script with no problems (installed yesterday)
