Accidentally removed all SSL libs on my system, can't install manually

This is what's left:

ca-bundle - 20211016-1
libmicrohttpd-ssl - 0.9.75-1

Attempting to install directly naturally fails:

So I downloaded the ipk file, and yet that fails as well when:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install libustream-openssl20201210_2022-12-08-9217ab46-2_arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4.ipk --no-check-certifica

I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. How might I proceed from here?

Make a backup of your conifg, then reset to defaults and restore your backup.

Alternative 1)
Download the .ipk to your PC, transfer to router with scp, and install it manually with opkg.

Alternative 2)
Assuming that you have a normal filesystem with ROM+overlay, you have the original SSL library files in /rom in the router you can manually copy the files from there.

Thanks. I'll try this.
