Opkg issues (installing via Luci)

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi there,

I'm trying to upgrade and install a few small packages via Luci, and I'm getting the following error (regardless of what packages I install).

The packages still report installing correctly but these errors keep happening:

Collected errors:
 * pkg_get_installed_files: Failed to open //usr/lib/opkg/info/kmod-mdio-netlink.list: No such file or directory.
 * pkg_get_installed_files: Failed to open //usr/lib/opkg/info/ethtool-full.list: No such file or directory.
 * pkg_get_installed_files: Failed to open //usr/lib/opkg/info/mdio-tools.list: No such file or directory.

Please post

ubus call system board

Also check df if overlay has space left.

Hey

Thanks for the reply -

I'm still learning here - can you clarify the correct CLI command?

auc

probably you switched off or canceled package install, just to repackage squashfs and reset overlay.

I'm not sure why you're seeing issues, but one thing that strikes me as strange here:

the //usr/lib/... -- there's an extra / in the path (at the beginning) that I wouldn't expect.

Maybe reset to defaults and try again. Or, use a newer snapshot.

i believe those tools were being used by an openwrt community member who was helping me (which ultimately resulted in a kernel patch for the latest release)

after that i flashed to the newest snapshot, but shouldnt it have overwritten everything?

When you reflash, it will clear all user-installed packages. Config files can be kept or reset to defaults.
