It appears that Nvidia’s repos have changed such that the apt update fails after a fresh flash of a zed box orin nx 16gb using stereolab’s flashing script with this error
Context:
I flashed one zed box orin nx 16gb board last week successfully. After performing an apt upgrade, the output of dpkg -l | grep nvidia-l4t-core is 36.4.320250107174145. This aligns with the version downloaded in the flashing script. This apt update succeeded.
After flashing another identical zed box this week, apt update fails and the output of the above version is 36.4.4-20250616085344.
We are performing the latest QA tests. If everything is good, we can release the upgrade in a few days.
If we need to fix some modules, the release can happen in a few weeks.
@jdcast Just ran into this myself, I had to reflash (there may have been a way to fix it without that but for me reflashing was easier). Once your system is in a working state, make this file to pin the packages until the driver is fixed. Once it’s fixed you should just be able to delete this file:
sudo vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/jetson-l4t-pinning
Contents:
Package: nvidia-l4t-*
Pin: version 36.4.3*
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: nvidia-jetpack*
Pin: version 6.2+b77
Pin-Priority: 1001
You should be free to run update/upgrade without issues with this file in place. Note I was flashing jetpack 6.2, the nvidia-jetpack version might be different if you are installing 6.1, etc. But you can check it with apt search nvidia-jetson and just pin it to whatever it currently is
