Can't remove custom package

Community Builds, Projects & Packages

I'm getting the following when I try to remove a custom package called gateway with opkg remove gateway:

No packages removed.
Collected errors:
 * parse_from_stream_nomalloc: Missing new line character at end of file!

Why is this? What am I missing?

Even running opkg -V4 remove gateway doesn't help. This is the output:

That doesn't say which file is the one missing the new line character.

What version of OpenWrt are you running? And where did this package come from?

ubus call system board

opkg info gateway ?

This is the output of opkg info gateway

It is still showing that

This is the output of ubus call system board

It is a custom package, meaning I created it from a C++ application.
