Gargoyle Forum

I see in opkg.confg, we have src/gz openwrt_18.06.5_packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/1 ... 3/packages

and diffutils is in that directory. Why would diffutils not install and/or how can we install diffutils with Gargoyle 1.12 on WRT32x?

Change the src url to HTTPS might fix it.

That did the trick. thx

Well, it appears to install but no diff in /usr/bin. there is a diff3 but that relies on diff also.

Any other ideas?

and it should be there.

EDIT:
diff is a link. Refers to /usr/bin/gnu-diff

thanks. the install worked but the link was not made.

adding my own sym link worked.

The same problem on Gargoyle 1.14. Installed on x86_64.

Package diffutils installed, but no diff command available.
Corrected by making symlink manually:
BTW: In older version of Gargoyle (not on x86_64) I installed opkg (opkg install opkg). It has more functions than gpkg, for example listing files of installed package. I've tried the same on 1.14. Installation was successful, but when I tried to make opkg update then I saw only "Segmentation fault".

I have a fix for the opkg segfault.
I will look at the lack of symbolic link for diff. I know why it occurs, I just don't know if I want to fix it.

I took the opportunity to fix this (in future versions).
