Flint2 on 24.10, apk repo gets randomly fail

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Installed SNAPSHOT from Nov 12. Worked flawlessly no issues.

Messed with VLANs, of course I locked myself out.

Did a button reset.

Back in SSH, can't install packages with apk.

No LUCI, ok, can fix.

apk add luci - falls with 11 errors

apk add luci - fails with 9 errors

apk add luci - fails with 3 errors

It's getting closer every time!?

apk add luci - works 30MiB in 169 packages

WTF?

Seems super unreliable. Example from what I saw and got working:

I forced HTTP instead of HTTPS, it has nothing to do with SSL. I get the same issue minus those errors. If I wget, I can see it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Cable modem direct to WAN1, PC in LAN5, no other equipment anywhere.

Internet seems to work fine on PC.

No packet loss or ping issues.

What on earth is going on here!?

It's unclear why you are having to install Luci on 24.10-SNAPSHOT when it's already included?

Why are you trying to use apk on 24.10 branch? This has opkg:
opkg update && opkg install luci luci-ssl

Only main has moved to apk.

Ok, first clarify for us are you on main snapshot or release 24.10-snapshot? Do the old ubus call system board shuffle and post that.

Reading on IRC, there was a fastly CDN issue with the downloads site right about the time you posted. Could it have been that, maybe just try again now?

Clearly I wouldn't be trying to install Luci if it was already there, nor would I be able to.

I thought I was on 24.10 snapshot. Apparently I'm on main snapshot.

Son of a motherfudging birch I will be so mad if I spent four hours messing with it and it was a CDN issue!

I saw another user post they had the same issue and now it's working. I'll verify and mark this as Solution if it's up.

SO DUMB.

Just checking, but there is nothing I could have done to prevent this right? Even if I downloaded the repo lists myself, getting the package dependencies would have had issues all over the place.

Also, I checked the Fastly Status/Incidents page and couldn't find anything except some purging errors in tokyo last night. Seems unrelated.

I've run into CDN issues with the downloads site before (I'm in SoCal so mirrors -I think- a mere 50 miles from me, source servers in DE), downloads seems to be the worst of all the openwrt.org infrastructure for this sort of thing. I've never seen any reports, so maybe they lack the instrumentation to detect all of them?

There's enough teething issues for me to not be on the bleeding edge while it's sorted out.

Confirmed it does work now.

But I had to run apk with —no-cache to get zero errors. Not sure what the rules are or what the issue was… but apparently it was caching bad results.
