And another fixup. Sorry for the issues, opkg is heavy legacy code with many sticks and stones to break our bones.

Wow, everything is working so much better now!

If your problem is solved, please consider marking this topic as [Solved]. See How to mark a topic as [Solved] for a short how-to.

Hello,

I have the same problem, still after the update.

Running x86-64 OpenWrt SNAPSHOT, r14850-f5c5a8abd2, from generic-ext4-combined.img.gz

As today (November 3rd, 2020 - r14850-f5c5a8abd2), the snapshots don't have the latest opkg package installed.

Experiment this as final solution on your snapshot image:

# opkg update
# opkg install opkg
# opkg update
# opkg install luci

Have fun.

Will the tomorrow snapshot have the issues mentioned here resolved?

Likely.
Buildbot continuously builds images after changes, and right probably half of the target images already contain the newest version.

Eventually.

But regardless that, you may install any snapshot available and execute this:

OK, in trying to follow the directions you linked to mark it as solved, I am unable to edit the title to put [solved] into it, and the three-dots menu with 'mark as solution' doesn't match what is on this page, so I just checked "Solution" on the most pertinent posts.

Thanks again!

Perfect thank you !

opkg install opkg
is like apt-get install aptitude
is like internet-explorer downloading chrome/firefox
:sweat_smile:

Opkg is installing dependencies in latest snapshot squashfs image for nanopi r2s. I was into the luci interface without issues, in just a minute or two after booting a fresh snapshot image.
