No opkg on the latest snapshots (BPI R4)

Installing and Using OpenWrt

The last two images for the BPI R4 do not have opkg installed.. So basically i cannot do anything with them.
Anyone else with this same problem ?

Just my luck upgrading during this migration period :man_facepalming: - ended up without either opkg or apk...

Got the apk (binary and dynamic library) from the standard snapshot squashfs, and now it works fine. However, Attended Sysupgrade and owut fail to check for updates. Attended Sysupgrade gives a TypeError (promises[0].packages is undefined), whereas owut outputs the following:

owut - OpenWrt Upgrade Tool 2024.10.27~8c7e42f0-r1 (/usr/bin/owut)
ERROR: ubus: Not found: Failed to invoke function 'packagelist' on object 'rpc-sys'
 from: 'ubus call rpc-sys packagelist { "all": true }'
This is a bug in 'owut/2024.10.27~8c7e42f0-r1', please report at
  https://github.com/efahl/owut/issues

In [anonymous function](), file /usr/bin/owut, line 103, byte 24:

 `           `  ${issue_url}\n`);`
  Near here -------------------^

And, indeed, running ubus call rpc-sys packagelist { "all": true } fails with Command failed: Not found.

Is there any configuration I missed, or do I need to wait for an update to the owut package? FWIW, package management through Luci works perfectly fine...

AFAIK, owut is b0rked atm, read the thread linked to earlier.
