Delete libustream from the list presented with ā€œadvanced modeā€ set in the configuration. The ASU machinery will then be able to add the version of libustream that it needs.

Hello there,

just upgrading from 24.10.4 to 24.10.5 via Luci ASU.
Cannot upgrade TP-Link EAP245v1 and EAP225v3 (all other routers upgraded OK).
Error is ā€œImpossible package selectionā€ for both.
Any suggestion? Thanks

This is the log for EAP245.

That's the signal that the luci package index was probably being generated or downloaded just as you did the build. Try again and see if it works now...

This is the same error that I got attempting an upgrade from 24.10.4 to 24.10.5 on a different router - the common factor is libuclient

The solution is a couple posts up: LuCI Attended Sysupgrade support thread - #405 by wolfgangrupprecht

Or wait a week or two for the fixes in https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/21449 to get committed and filter through.

Thanks; Sorry, I missed that; was browsing on my phone, and search isn't great on small screen (and my eyes aren't great, full stop). Good to know there's a fix.

Thanks @efahl, clearly I was trying to jump the gun :slight_smile:
All is OK now.

Iā€™m not sure this is the appropriate thread, but the title fits.

I am not at all enamoured with the decision to bake ASU into LuCI. It's nothing but useless bloatware that isn't easily circumvented if your build isn't default vanilla OpenWrt. ie. patch Dnsmasq to only listen on br-lan, or you want to use openssl or wolfssl instead of the default it will fail if a user selects this LuCI menu option.

I seldom use the LuCI GUI other than to peruse the Status page for system status, and Vnstat/Nlbwmon status pages so I wasn't aware of this build system change until I had a couple of siblings tell me it was failing (people tend to 'poke' things when they notice anything different). They figured from the menu title that I had enabled a different firmware upgrade process than I had provided them.

These are the options I am presented when I select the LuCI Attended Sysupgrade menu option:

  • [installed] r32611-f7c5334c4c - r32611-f7c5334c4c [(commit f7c5334c4c5e34743140a80b804c61ecb080d806 (origin/master, origin/main, origin/HEAD)]
  • 23.05.6
  • 24.10.5
  • 25.12.0-rc2
    All will fail.

Really? From Main it "suggests?" Downgrading to 23.05.6, 24.10.5, or 25.12.0-rc2?! Not only that, but 23.05.6 build doesn't even exist for this device. Does anyone find that even a little confusing?

This all seems reasonable for a Release build, but it's broken on Main if you add LuCI. This decision to make Attended Sysupgrade a dependancy via the build system should be more nuanced. It should remain an optional component in Main/Master.

What options are available to me to remove this unusable menu option?

On another note, I can't determine what happens if you Select Look online for upgrades upon status page load in LuCI/Status/Overview page. Loading or re-loading the Status page doesn't appear to return anything visible.

413

Actually, no, you should have expected it to work. There are issues with updating the package indexes during the rolling package builds which cause this to happen, not a lot, but often enough that people report it every week.

414

You can use luci-light, which is simply luci without the baggage. I do this on my APs to get rid of the stuff I never use.

$ apk query --fields depends --format yaml luci
# 1 items
- depends: # 4 items
    - libc
    - luci-app-attendedsysupgrade
    - luci-app-package-manager
    - luci-light

I very, very seldom change my build unless Iā€™ve added a package or a patch. Simply clean/pull/update/brand it/make

416

If you're building from source AND don't like luci-light, the following patch wouldn't exactly be rocket science:

Are there any recent stats about which packages are being requested through ASU?

418

Is this directed to me?

419

Not my issue. I am building from source AND LuCI-light is fine. The image is from a clean clone, select Target/Sub Target/Profile, select luci-ssl-openssl which auto selects luci-light (I prefer OpenSSL) and bingo! PACKAGE_luci-app-attendedsysupgrade [=y] is enabled.

Yeh, I can patch it, but really? This is not anything Iā€™ve seen in the last 6 years.

420

Your mistake is selecting luci-ssl-openssl instead of luci-light libustream-openssl openssl-util luci-app-package-manager, no patching necessary.

421

All are configured in the .config. By not selecting LuCI with HTTPS support (OpenSSL as SSL backend) that will create security issues - no?

422

No.

luci-ssl-openssl is an empty metapackage, its only purpose in life is to pull in those packages - it does absolutely nothing by itself.

The ASU server doesn't log any info on the package lists, its stats are extremely generic. A typical time series entry looks like stats:builds:SNAPSHOT:x86/64:generic: 1, just enough to produce the graphs on sysupgrade.openwrt.org...
