opkg issue? Can't install locally stored package

Post by davidgeoffreyh »

Hi there

I'm trying to install a package from an ipk file that I have downloaded locally to the router. When I run this command:

Code: Select all

opkg install leech_1.1-1_all.ipk
I get this error:

Code: Select all

ERROR: No package named leech found, try updating your package lists
Any ideas why this might occur? I've also tried installing from a remote server with an http path but get the same error.

Thanks

Any solution to this? I'm getting this same thing when trying to update openssl for the heartbleed bug.

Code: Select all

root@tplink:/tmp# opkg install /tmp/libopenssl_1.0.1g-1_ar71xx.ipk 
ERROR: No package named libopenssl found, try updating your package lists
EDIT: looks like this bug : https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/gargo ... it/e224c89

So now I have a chicken-and-egg problem of how to get a fixed gpkg package on there?

The gpkg error needs to be fixed ASAP. Imagine a worse bug than heartbleed and being unable to update any packages.

Nothing can be as bad as the stock backdoors in the OEM firmwares ;-)
