Checksum or size mismatch for package python3-base

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I just upgraded my router ( Linksys E8450 ) to 24.10.1 and I couldn't install python3 on my router because openwrt gives me a wrong file.

Installing python3-base (3.11.7-r2) to root...
Downloading https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.1/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/packages/python3-base_3.11.7-r2_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_pkg: Checksum or size mismatch for package python3-base. Either the opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package python3-base.

I downloaded the url myself and the file size is 221928 bytes, package metadata ( https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.1/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/packages/Packages.gz ) says it should be 221857 bytes.

I've done several opkg update command but nothing changes.

It this the right place to report the problem?

Looks like the problem has been fixed

Yes this can happen while a package is in the process of being rebuilt, until the index is synced up again. Wait an hour or two then run opkg upddate again and it should be resolved.
