Topic: Has something changed with the packages folders?

Hi guys, I have a script written a few years back for one of my devices which seems to fail now on the same device. It was to setup a transparent relay from a wireless network to my LAN. I used it in Barrier and Chaos but even if I load up those same firmwares (that I had saved) now the script no longer works and its because the packages can no longer be found.

My script was originally put together from https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/relayclient

The first few lines in my script are...
opkg update
opkg install relayd
/etc/init.d/relayd enable
opkg install luci-proto-relay

When I run it today on Barrier or Chaos or even LEDE I get errors...
...after opkg update....
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install relayd
Unknown package 'relayd'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package relayd.

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install luci-proto-relay
Unknown package 'luci-proto-relay'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package luci-proto-relay.

Why can I no longer find these packages? Is there a new packages URL that I need to add to be able to find them again.

Similarly I was trying to find wpad and hostapd-utils and I could not find either of them.

Thanks

Does "opkg update" end successfully?

Yes, also if in the GUI I hit update lists it does so and then the button disappears.

Have a look to the "/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf" file, and check the URLs there.

The discussion might have continued from here.
