Impossible to install Luci wget error 8

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi there,

I succesfully run the 'opkg update' command but when trying to install luci I get the following:

root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# opkg install luci
Installing luci (git-20.074.84698-ead5e81) to root...

 * opkg_install_pkg: Failed to download luci-base. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'?
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package luci.
root@OpenWrt:/etc/config#

I tried to download the package from the browser and it seems missing on server side.

Can someone help to fix this please?
Many thanks in advance.

Looks like the two last buildbot rounds for your device have ended with package upload trouble. Some of the packages have not been updated.

Hopefully the currently ongoing build round will succeed.

I removed the file /usr/share/libiwinfo/hardware.txt and relaunched the command "opkg install luci" and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for your help (whover he/she is :))
