Can't install nginx-ssl on master - missing package (LuCI bug)

Might be irrelevant now that you received the same error, but yes my output of "opkg list-installed | grep opkg" is the same as yours

Yeah, it is irrelevant now.

This is a real reproduceable bug (likely related to the regex related to the version evaluation)

LuCI parses wrongly version-specific dependencies

LuCI master parses wrongly at least some package dependencies with a version spe…cification. `Required dependency package nginx-ssl-util (>=1.5-1) is not available in any repository.` First seen on forum discussion, then reproduced with up-to-date master (LuCI Master git-22.260.19132-34dd31a / OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r20779-c5e167e0d6) nginx-ssl-util is shown twice in the dependency tree. The first line with a version requirement fails, while the second line without the version req shows the package available. The end result is that LuCI claims that it can't find the package. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7926856/193117764-77d35e20-5843-44ed-a85e-25717008c999.png) SSH console opkg shows the package: ``` root@router1:~# opkg list | grep nginx-ssl nginx-ssl - 1.21.3-2 - nginx is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, as well as a mail proxy server, written by Igor Sysoev.

Well, Jow thinks that this is actually a bug on the OpenWrt/opkg side: it seems to provide wrong package metadata.
See:

This should now be fixed in LuCI master sources, but possibly not yet compiles by buildbot for all targets.
