Cannot install wpad-mbedtls

[Livy]

I am using OpenWrt 23.05.0-rc2. How do I install wpad-mbedtls?

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg list-installed | grep wpad
wpad-basic-mbedtls - 2023-03-29-bb945b98-1.2

It used to be easier on previous OpenWrt versions. Now it ends up with circular dependencies error. Or maybe I do not fully understand how opkg works.

Why not use the firmware selector tool to build a firmware already with wpad-mbedtls?

The problem is that libnl-tiny has been upgraded recently, so you need to replace libnl-tiny and all of the packages that use it with the new ones. By far the easiest way to do this is to replace the whole ROM with a new build. You can also use auc to do this.

Then once everything is on the same page with respect to libnl-tiny, wpad-basic can be removed and replaced with the full version.
