File too young not updating

I tried rebooting nothing same message shows up

Any help appreciated

Thanks

I would suspect your R-Pi clock is/was off at some time in the past...

On initial boot, R-Pi's use some onboard file that tends to indicate the time it was shut-down, then some time after network connectivity updates the running clock time via NTP.

"files too young" would seem to indicate that a batch of files had been updated during a session where your clock was set to some date in the future. Now, with a correct date, the system is seeing potential update files that -- by date stamp -- are "older" than the date stamp of files on the R-Pi itself.

But how do I fix it ?

Do I have to open a ss session and update something?

Tnx

Hello,
Maybe in that way
https://raspberrytips.com/set-date-time-raspberry-pi/

Login via console - expert ssh and try the command

sudo date -s '2021-01-04 13:04:00'

With correct date an time.

If an update is being performed, then there is network connectivity.
If there is network connectivity, then the NTP service should have obtained the correct date/time from the net.

The error message doesn't say the time NOW is incorrect -- it is claiming that files ON the R-Pi have a modification timestamp that is somewhere in the future (ie: files exist with timestamps AFTER the timestamp of the update...

somefile on R-Pi: modification time 2022 Apr 04 12:01:02.003
samefile in Update: modification time 2021 Dec 31 23:59:59.999

Update file is "older" than file on R-Pi -- so do not overwrite it)
