Luci Rutime Error After Installing openvpn-openssl and luci-app-openvpn packages

Due to my Netgear Nighthawk r6900v2 coming to end of life on Netgear's operating system, I decided to update it to use Openwrt instead. I used version 25.12 and it was all working fine.

I installed some packages to set up things like usb attached storage, dynamic dns, etc. That all worked fine. When I installed openvpn-openssl and luci-app-openvpn packages, the typical pop-up showed that the packages were installed successfully. I noticed however that I could not see a VPN drop-down.

I thought maybe I just needed to logout and log back in for it to take effect. When I tried logging back in, I was met with the error message:

error loading module 'ubus' from file '/usr/lib/lua/ubus.so':
Error loading shared library libubox.so.20260313: No such file or directory (needed by /usr/lib/lua/ubus.so)

I'm still able to ssh into my router and everything I set it up with is still working. Seems to just be a problem with the Luci web interface. Should I try to install the libubox.so package via ssh? Should I try reinstalling openvpn-openssl and luci-app-openvpn via ssh? Are these packages not compatible with 25.12 yet since it's so recent?

Upgrading to 25.12.1 solved the issue.
