Hello all,

I'm having difficulty installing packages from files.  For example:

# ipkg install shorewall-lite_4.0.12-1_mipsel.ipk 
Installing shorewall-lite (4.0.12-1) to root...
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 28.
Collected errors:
Only have 0 available blocks on filesystem /, pkg shorewall-lite needs 86

However, I can install packages from archives fine:

# ipkg install tc
Installing tc (2.6.20-070313-1) to root...
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7.09/brcm-2.4/packages/./tc_2.6.20-070313-1_mipsel.ipk
Configuring tc
Done.

Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Hi.

New packages have an Installed-Size header included which triggers ipkg's free space checking. On 8.09 with opkg the following line in /etc/opkg.conf (in your case /etc/ipkg.conf) helps:

option force_space

- or -

option overlay_root /jffs

Try if one of the both settings help in your case.
