Unable to install frontail on fresh install OH 4

[FrankH1]

Issue information:

I did perform a fresh setup to migrate to OH4. Used a new SD card with the image as indicated below Nothing changed there, performed initial setup, when OH was up and running installed successfully Phoscon, Mosquitto, Samba and loaded the previous config from OH 3.3. System runs - I’,m quite happy. Facing Problems because I’m not able to install frontail (option 21). As this is a fresh install - it is obviously something fundamental.

What wonders me additional - that apt-get update is obviously started twice. When I once tried to install frontail the next time I get an additional output (reading package lists... Done E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 27578 (apt-get) )- but this disappears after reboot. Started a thread at and got the recommendation to post here.

Debug information:

Please provide all of the output provided by utilizing the debugmode=maximum parameter in the /etc/openhabian.conf file. For more information on how to accomplish this, please see openhabian-DEBUG.md.

It's a Debian upstream problem we cannot fix in openHABian.

[FrankH1]

Shouldn't Option 21 disappear than from openhabian-config if its not working?
