Cannot install package luci-app-ddns

Hi,
I'm using a openwrt on Pirelli Voip 2 wifi router:

Hostname OpenWrt
Model Pirelli Alice Gate AGPF-S0
Firmware Version OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 / LuCI 15.05-188-g87e9837 Release (git-16.043.44305-e2f9172)
Kernel Version 3.18.23

I must to install a luci-app-ddns for DDNS service, but I have a message error:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install luci-app-ddns
Unknown package 'luci-app-ddns'.
Collected errors:

  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package luci-app-ddns.

Why ? How to resolve ?

First off, you're running a very outdated version of OpenWRT that has known security vulnerabilities in kernel, application software, and wireless. I'd upgrade before you go any further.

After you've upgraded to 17.01.4 or 18.06 (as 17.01 is about to be outdated), make sure you run opkg update before trying to install. That is typically the cause of being unable to find a "valid" package.

thank you jeff for reply.
I ask a question: can I upgrade to 17.01.4 Openwrt version ?
My router is very old.... in openwrt I don't see this version:

https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/pirelli/agpf

OK, it's a 16/32 device from the old wiki link you gave with a BCM6358KFBG SoC. Though tight on RAM, hopefully some life left in it for at least the 18.06 release, if you don't load it up with too many processes.

The old wiki gives the image as ../brcm63xx/generic/openwrt-brcm63xx-generic-AGV2%2bW-squashfs-cfe.bin

If I check https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.0-rc1/targets/brcm63xx/generic/ (same architecture and "form" as the old reference) I see an AGPF, but not the AGV2 (Same for 17.01.04).

Checking the source code log now

Hold on -- you have an AGPF-S0

There looks to be an image for an AGPF-S0

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.0-rc1/targets/brcm63xx/generic/openwrt-18.06.0-rc1-brcm63xx-generic-AGPF-S0-squashfs-cfe.bin

I can't guarantee that's the "right" image -- but check https://openwrt.org/toh/pirelli/agpf for the (apparently unmaintained) device page.

Running git bisect and looking for the change in the results of

lede_source$ fgrep -rI AGV2 target/linux/brcm63xx

suggest that your device might have had its "name" changed or not have been included in

    This switches brcm63xx to the new profile definition system in image/Makefile

I downloaded:

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.0-rc1/targets/brcm63xx/generic/openwrt-18.06.0-rc1-brcm63xx-generic-AGPF-S0-squashfs-cfe.bin
