border router tutorial does not work
I found a raspberrypi 3 that I didn't mind re-imaging with the 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite as recommended at:
https://openthread.io/codelabs/openthread-border-router#1
The image has a gcc version 8. It did not have git. I tried installing git as shown in the link below but failed. Maybe it is an old apt list that could easily be fixed or maybe the archives have been removed. Regardless, the directions aren't working very well for a raspberry pi based thread border router.
Having to use an old version of raspios makes me uncomfortable from a security standpoint. I reported this earlier this morning with:
https://github.com/openthread/openthread/security/advisories/GHSA-h2xg-7gq5-4546#advisory-comment-77276
And, it is a development hassle.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions in the mean time.
Tried updating buster with...
sudo apt update --upgradable; sudo apt full-upgrade; sudo apt install git
And gcc is still at 8 so maybe...
With 0895ad5 per:
https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/ug_thread_tools.html#installing-otbr-manually-raspberry-pi
INFRA_IF_NAME=eth0 ./script/setup
Got to...
+ sudo systemctl enable otbr-firewall
otbr-firewall.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable otbr-firewall
+ sudo systemctl start otbr-firewall
Job for otbr-firewall.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status otbr-firewall.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
+ die 'Failed to start firewall service!'
+ echo ' *** ERROR: Failed to start firewall service!'
*** ERROR: Failed to start firewall service!
+ exit 1
Any other suggestions?
After attempting to install the pi desktop, rebooting, and trying to build 0895ad5 again... the build looked like it worked. This is the status I now have...

Still too much of a newbie to know if that is working or not. The "Host netif down" doesn't sound good. The pi can ping out to the internet.
