Yes, I did read the sticky post concerning missing packages in opwnert.

I am looking to install the following packages via opkg.

luci-app-samba
samba36-client
samba36-server

When i try, I get the following:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install luci-app-samba
Unknown package 'luci-app-samba'.
Configuring libow.
//usr/lib/opkg/info/libow.postinst: line 4: default_postinst: not found
Configuring libow-capi.
//usr/lib/opkg/info/libow-capi.postinst: line 4: default_postinst: not found
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package luci-app-samba.
 * pkg_run_script: package "libow" postinst script returned status 127.
 * opkg_configure: libow.postinst returned 127.
 * pkg_run_script: package "libow-capi" postinst script returned status 127.
 * opkg_configure: libow-capi.postinst returned 127.

My libow.postinst is listed

#!/bin/sh
[ "${IPKG_NO_SCRIPT}" = "1" ] && exit 0
. ${IPKG_INSTROOT}/lib/functions.sh
default_postinst $0 $@

Evidently something wrong with line 4, and I did find several posts that lead me to believe that opkg is simply not finding the files in the repository that I am looking in.

One of the posts is listed below.

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 did replace the line with several attempts, such as below:

src/gz barrier_breaker http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/brcm47xx/generic/packages/packages

But I got the same result. Actually, when I did http into these repositories, I never did find any packages like

luci-app-samba
samba36-client
samba36-server

Listed anywhere. Not sure where to go to find the packages that I need to install.

thank You

On BB and not sure what to do here, either.

Well, that was easy.  For anyone else who gets stuck here...

echo option force_space >> /etc/opkg.conf
opkg update
opkg install luci-app-samba kmod-fs-vfat luci-i18n-samba-en samba36-server

Why would you use such a old ver of OpenWRT? Even CC is out of date! It's like using XP lol Flash to LEDE 17.2
