[PROBLEM] 8.1 upgrade failure

[the_bertrum]

Since I don't see anyone else raising this as an issue it must be me.  I suspect my crappy high latency satellite internet connection. Downloads often fail or complete but are corrupt. 8.1.0 never worked correctly but after a few reboots it showed the 8.1.1 update and now 8.1.1 seems to be working.

I have a successrate of 0% on 2 Pi's (one 3b and a 4) after attempting to update to 8.1.0 and 8.1.1 in one go.
I can play from the library (NAS) but not much else is working (no spotify, Configure/System menu not accessible). Seems to hang at the Airplay renderer. Both Pi's show the exact same output. Reinstall may fix the issue but I dont like to rebuild the DLNA database which takes forever.

That log looks like an 8.1.0 image with the Spotify renderer issue showing.  Have a look at the thread for that issue and apply the code that turns off the Spotify renderer, then clear your browser cache and try again, I expect you'll find you are still on 8.1.0 but that it now responds properly.  Then you'll be able to upgrade to 8.1.1 and then turn Spotify back on.
