Nothing to fix, that's just a virtual package that the LuCI package manager can't deal with (because it's not a real package manager, just a wrapper around a couple real package manager calls).

@efahl when you say there is nothing to fix, its stopped owut upgrade working. On 25.12.2 with flint 2 builds fail every time now due to this. When you log into luci these 4 cannot update. What is the fix for luci/owut? Thanks

So owut upgrade fails as above. I’ve this afternoon gone into luci/software and updated these 4 Luci packages manually. All say “required dependency package uci-firewall is not available in any repository”. But it’s already installed. I’ve installed anyway. This error prevents owut upgrade working. Now after installing in luci, owut states: “there are 0 missing and 1 modified default packages”. However unless this error is fixed, whenever there is a luci update as per above, owut upgrade will fail again.
