Would someone with Portsdown 4 mind dumping the files from the SD card

Hi all

Would someone with Portsdown mind dumping the files from their SD card (obviously after changing their username/password etc)?
I have downloaded the image and tried updating with the built in updater but it is failing when it is trying to build as some of the files have been removed from the repositories preventing it from building.

I can give FTP or rclone access to upload the files if needed.

Massive thanks in advance if anyone can help :)

Greg, I know that the RPi Foundation recently removed some of the 'stuff' needed for the PD4 build, but I thought it had been fixed....unless they have broken it again.....
Have you used the latest build info etc... https://github.com/davecrump/portsdown4
Maybe try putting it on a pendrive (boots fine) or a proper formatting of the uSD card and try again.

Not sure, it worked yesterday at 4U1ITU. We updated a Portsdown last updated a year ago.
