Hi everyone,

i compiled the last versions of kamikaze successfully, but as soon as i install
various packages e.g. one of these:

kmod-usb-core - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel Support for USB
kmod-usb-ohci - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel driver for OHCI USB controllers
kmod-usb-printer - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel modules for USB Printer support
kmod-usb-serial - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel Support for USB-to-Serial converters
kmod-usb-serial-belkin - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel Support for Belkin USB-to-Serial converters
kmod-usb-serial-ftdi - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel Support for FTDI USB-to-Serial converters
kmod-usb-serial-pl2303 - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel Support for Prolific PL2303 USB-to-Serial converters
kmod-usb-serial-visor - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel Support for Handspring Visor / Palm m50x / Sony Clie Driver
kmod-usb-storage - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel modules for USB storage support
kmod-usb-uhci - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel driver for UHCI USB controllers
kmod-usb2 - 2.6.17-brcm-1 - Kernel driver for USB2 controllers


i get the following dependancy error.
Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-madwifi:
         'kernel (=2.6.17-brcm-1)'

here is my kernel-version
uname -a
Linux OpenWrt 2.6.17 #1 Thu Oct 12 04:58:18 CEST 2006 mips unknown

i tried,

ipkg install kernel
Package kernel (2.6.17-brcm-1) installed in root is up to date.
Nothing to be done
Done.

but the dependency error still remains.

even none of the "force-options" resolve the dependancy prob.
Force Options (use when ipkg is too smart for its own good):
        -force-depends          Make dependency checks warnings instead of errors
                                        Install/remove package in spite of failed dependences
        -force-defaults         Use default options for questions asked by ipkg.
                                (no prompts). Note that this will not prevent
                                package installation scripts from prompting.
        -force-reinstall        Allow ipkg to reinstall a package.
        -force-overwrite        Allow ipkg to overwrite files from another package during an install.
        -force-downgrade        Allow ipkg to downgrade packages.
        -force_space            Install even if there does not seem to be enough space.

is this a general bug, a "developing issue" or am i just "dumb" :-))

best regards martin....

-force-depends worked for me.

unfortunately it doesnt work even with -force-depends?
i dont understand the dependancy my kernel is 2.6.17-brcm-1?

is this a known bug?
