All,
I keep getting the "A new upgrade is available for your Raspberry Pi AirNav Radar software!" pop-ups on my stations' webpage. I am reluctant to do this anymore since the last time I did this my Airnav S/W stopped working and I had to come here to get help to get it working again.
A few questions:
-How do you determine what AirNav Radar software version is currently on the Pi?
-How do you determine what AirNav Radar software version is the upgrade before downloading? I ask because the last time I upgraded I got "new upgrade" pop-up a few days after getting the upgrade working.
-How long does it take to install the upgrade? I ask because the last time I did the upgrade it seemed to just stop in the middle so I just <control-c> out of it. There was no way to tell if it was locked up or it just takes many minutes to do the upgrade.
-Is there a list of what's fixed/changed in the new version? If so, where is it?
TIA
Issue following commands:
sudo apt update
apt-cache policy rbfeeder
The output of last command will give you all the details you want.
Installed: = version currently installed on your Pi
Candidate: = latest version which is available in RB24 repositories
Please see attached screenshot

I never faced a fresh install or upgrade of existing install getting stuck or freez or hang.
I never measured the time, but it was always less than 5 minutes. Actual time depends on your Pi model and OS version.
