You have installed a snapshot image.

What are snapshot images?

See https://openwrt.org/releases/snapshot

What does that mean for package installations (like LuCI)?

From https://openwrt.org/releases/snapshot

snapshots are built daily, and that sets time limits to installing new packages with opkg. Due to kernel version checksums, you can only install “kmod” kernel modules and other kernel version dependent modules from the exactly same snapshot build. So, a few hours after flashing the firmware you may not be able to install new modules with opkg any more (as the next snapshot has been built into the download repo and has different checksums).

Because of this, you find the following note on https://openwrt.org/faq/cannot_satisfy_dependencies

Solution #1: Install all needed packages directly after installing the snapshot image , not on the next day.

Therefore: Install a fresh snapshot image from today, and directly after installing the snapshot image install LuCI.

Was that clear enough?

Thk you sir. how to Install a fresh snapshot?

Download the new snapshot and use sysupgrade to flash it.

If your model has a release build, that is usually suitable for the regular user. A matching permanent package collection is kept so that the problem of uninstallable packages does not occur.
