I am on 23.12 with Phosh. I remember hearing that the Pinephone may be getting dropped from main to community so I wasn't sure if this was related to that or something different. Is it safe to use the command it suggests ? I figured I would ask before blindly doing it.

This sounds more like a network problem, maybe something on your end or that one of the repos was temporarily unreachable (usually it's the postmarketOS repo for me in such situations). I recommend running sudo apk update in situations like this and reading through the output. Depending on which repo is unreachable (= if it's one of the alpine repos) it may be a better idea to delay upgrading.

It definitely has nothing to do with the device being dropped from main to community — both categories mean that the device is served by stable.

Hope this helps!

I tried the update command and the repos that the error occur on are

"http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/main"

"http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/community"

I don't get the error on my Pinebook Pro which si also on PostmarketOS 23.12 if that matters.

Haven't seen that error yet, but I'd suggest trying other Alpine mirrors (set them in your /etc/apk/repositories): https://mirrors.alpinelinux.org/

(there's also "apk fix" which helps when installing a package failed earlier for whatever reason, but that doesn't seem to be the cause here)
