Opkg/luci - TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of null

Hi,

i've upgraded an NBG6716 to 19.07.7 (kept settings but /etc/opkg is the original file, customfeeds.conf is empty).

Now I am seeing some strange behaviour from luci/opkg.

opkg update works fine, but some packages seem missing.
e.g. luci-app-minidlna exists, but not minidlna itself, same goes for samba.

the luci opkg page displays a spinner loading package information with the following error in the browser console

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of null
    at parseList (opkg.js?v=git-21.044.30835-34e0d65:12)
    at opkg.js?v=git-21.044.30835-34e0d65:130
    at luci.js?v=git-21.044.30835-34e0d65:222

any clues about what's going and how to fix it.

Read the other threads about it, e.g.

Wait.
Or build by yourself.

thanks!
ah, looks i'm not alone. But the good news is people are already looking into this!
I guess I'll just wait.

While trying to figure this out I did some poking around, and I noticed that the NBG6716 reports as a 74Kc.

system type             : Qualcomm Atheros QCA9558 ver 1 rev 0
machine                 : Zyxel NBG6716
processor               : 0
cpu model               : MIPS 74Kc V5.0

while the feeds are set to 24kc

is that normal?

never mind, seems there's no architectural difference between the 24kc and the 74kc .
