OpenWRT 25.12.0 apk update failure

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi, installed OpenWRT 25.12.0 on Comfast WR632AX router. Runs fine, but when I do apk upgrade command I get the following (this is one line but I get about 8 similar for all the repos). It also happens when I try to install any package…

The router is online and can connect to any ‘normal’ internet site and can ping (eg) openwrt.org and google.com …

WARNING: updating https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/25.12.0/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/telephony/packages.adb: unexpected end of file
ERROR: wget: exited with error 1

I googled a bit and found a possible issue with router time, but my time is fine. Please advise?

Any reason not 25.12.2?

Not the OP, but the firmware selector is currently over loaded... so unless the stock firmware is desired 25.12.2 is atm a bit tricky to get :wink:

Which packages do you have installed and is wget-nossl one of them?

Yes, that's the problem, I would use 25.12.2 but can't build it yet …

Will check that later, thanks.

wget-nossl is installed. Should I remove it?

What others said but in my case I got wget error 4 and 5. Realized it was a broken IPv6 connectivity to Fastly's CDN from my connection. Disabled ipv6 temporarily and it worked

Yes. And then you will need to manually symlink uclient-fetch to wget:

ln -sf /bin/uclient-fetch /usr/bin/wget

You can install wget-ssl afterward if you need it.

OK, so I’ve removed wget-ssl and executed the above command, and I get the error message ‘apk: not found’ …

OK again, so removing wget-ssl via apk del wget-ssl and then executing the above command seems to work, thanks…
