Raspberry Pi Tools Add on - installation keeps on failing.

1st Official Post

    I'm trying to get the status LED working on my Pi 3+. I have it running on Pi4 but older Pi3+ is giving me error on Tools installation for GPIO functionality.
    I'm installing Addon "Script - Raspberry Pi Tools" Author:Team LibreELEC

    Log file after warnings about unofficial pulgin is showing:

    System Tools by Team LibreELEC, same thing installation failed.

    I have this SD chip for few years and it has gone through numerous updates. Fresh image works OK with Raspberry Pi Tools on the same hardware. It looks like the system is looking for Tools addon in the wrong place. Any quick way to fix it?

    I can see two issues:

    a) The repository.unofficial.addon.pro reference is old cruft from an OpenELEC installation. The domain expired or is no longer available; and the add-ons there wouldn't be compatible with LE releases anyway (maybe v7.0 but not v9.2). This can/should be uninstalled.

    b) The version of LE appears to be v9.1.x (pre-release) not v9.2 (release). I'd be inclined to start over with a new install (update to v9.2 and then rename /storage/.kodi to /storage/.kodi-old and reboot) and then only copy back things from the older install which are really essential. As a minimum you need to update and then the correct add-ons should be used.
