Fresh install on FireTV: problems with php version



I made a fresh install of KODI 21.1 on a FireTV Stick. (It had KODI Leia before which I installed long ago and never came back to configure / use.)

When starting KODI notifies me that it does a migration of add-ons. This message appears however on every startup. Is this normal? I suspect there is a problem in this migration which is why it repeats this every startup.

Some more problems:

– KODI reports the Version Check add-on as outdated and to be disabled. This happens on every startup!
– Attempts to update add-ons al fail.
– I cannot install the KODI log file uploader add-on.
– I cannot install a German language version.

On some such attempts I get an error message saying there is a php version mismatch.

Code:
2024-10-12 11:49:17.531 T:7015    debug <general>: CAddonInstaller: installing 'script.kodi.loguploader' version '0.6.0' from repository 'repository.xbmc.org'

Also quite soon in the log I find an issue with a ssl connection related to add-ons:

I already posted on the addon subforum, but this is rather a problem with leftovers of an earlier install, thus the post here.

While it is a real problem that I cannot switch to my native language (WAF, you know) and install / update add-ons the install scraped my movies and tv shows just fine. Video playback also works.

I have a Fire TV stick 2nd generation btw. from 2020 (the version that was upgraded with the better remote with TV and volume buttons).
