Oh this old gem, the solution is to remove or purge the offending raspberry pi package. Its been mentioned many many times throughout the forum, the exact commands can be found with a quick search.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I create an image of the contents of one hard drive to install it on another? This is to avoid having to reinstall the additional applications I use with LCN.

Google "linux clone hdd"
And choose your poison, the subject is a bit expansive, and it's not something I'd like to describe to a newbie. There are many many ways to do this.
You can also use debian's preseed config to install extra apps.
Once again google "debian preseed" and you will have a clean install without any fluff.

Thank you for your response, and also for your subtle sarcasm in calling me ignorant every time I comment or ask for help in the threads you also participate in. But I think it's better to be considered ignorant than to learn nothing, even if you're treated like garbage. What I'm trying to figure out is how to create an .img file of my hard drive's contents without having to reinstall applications that aren't included in the .img file, like the one you created for the Raspberry Pi 4 with Debian 13, which I've already installed on four Pi 4s. After installation, I add other applications and compile some components that aren't included in the official LCN version, and doing all that every time I install the image you created wastes a lot of my time.

Mate all I did was called you a newbie, if you take that as being called ignorant that's an issue you have to resolve within yourself.

You will need to boot from a USB on the PC you want to make an image of, any Linux should do, and use DD to make an image of the existing drive.
You need to be very careful with DD and exact naming of the input and output drive (named file in DD), and use fdisk to find out those exact names.
That is quite some steps and many ways to mess things up, subsequently end up with a useless system.
Only after you start dealing with all of the above you can know exactly how hard it is to advise anyone about it.
-
A bit easier way is to download and write to a USB CloneZilla, then boot from it and use the limited GUI included with it, again being careful when choosing the source and destination drives.
-
Both ways above will require having the same exact space as the source drive for the destination, or bigger.

Old mate was specifically asking about the RPi images, this is one of 2 threads where the subject was raised. And yeah I got a bit pissed.
After this comment:
But I'm not anymore. The stress has been deleted.
