Hi!

Lately I'm getting a lot of errors from opkg:

When I install a package I get all these errors, doesn't what I install. I don't know what is causing them.
Running opkg configure does not work, it presents me with this same list of errors.
Can it be because I installed packages from the trunk folder?

I have read this: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=44881 But the solution did not work.
I've also read this ticket: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/13735 But there's no solution there as far as I can see.

Does anybody know what is causing this and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Even tho I see errors here, some packages, if not all, do function!

Edit2: I think I should mention what router I have ;p It's a TP-Link TL-WDR4300 (ar71xx)

If you figure out a solution before someone replies, I'd like to know as well.

You didn't say what version and snapshot you are using but I'll assume you are using a trunk snapshot because that's where I also saw the problem. Somehow this got broken in one of the trunk revisions awhile back. It was just fixed in a revision a couple of weeks ago. Use the latest version of trunk and problem solved.

Cheers...

Probably.

Error 127 occurs:
https://www.mail-archive.com/openwrt-ti … 04149.html

Solution:
https://www.mail-archive.com/openwrt-ti … 04153.html

-> change your opkg.conf, so it points to BB i/o trunk.

Did that, now it works for me (after I force removed and re-installed the packages that produced the errors).

Same problem, fresh git checkout of BB 14.07 from yesterday.

Edit:

Replacing the URLs path with: http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_br … c/packages fixes the issue.

I had this problem upgrading from a trunk 14.07. I fixed it like so:

Login to your router and navigate to System -> Backup / Flash Firmware.
Click Generate archive and open it up in 7-Zip.
Navigate through the folders and files and DELETE everything that you DON'T need or haven't changed. For example, I deleted everything except the likes of /etc/config/firewall, wireless, etc.
Flash the system upgrade and make sure you tell Luci to delete config files so you have a fresh install.
After reboot, restore the backup you edited.

The discussion might have continued from here.
