Packages 23.05 vs 22.03?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I've just installed openwrt-23.05.4-x86-64-generic-ext4-combined.img and are missing packages, like parted or tailscale. Do I need to add additional repos, or why does it seem they are missing in 23.05 but are there in 22.03? Should I use 22.03 instead?

What's the error you're seeing with 23.05? I see those packages fine on my 23.05 x86 boxes...

$ ubus call system board
{
        "kernel": "5.15.162",
        "hostname": "rtr00",
        "system": "AMD GX-412TC SOC",
        "model": "PC Engines apu2",
        "board_name": "pc-engines-apu2",
        "rootfs_type": "squashfs",
        "release": {
                "distribution": "OpenWrt",
                "version": "23.05.4",
                "revision": "r24012-d8dd03c46f",
                "target": "x86/64",
                "description": "OpenWrt 23.05.4 r24012-d8dd03c46f"
        }
}

$ opkg list 'parted*'
parted - 3.6-1 - GNU Parted manipulates partition tables. This is useful for
 creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing
 disk usage, copying data on hard disks and disk imaging.

$ opkg list 'tailsc*'
tailscale - 1.58.2-1 - It creates a secure network between your servers, computers,
 and cloud instances. Even when separated by firewalls or subnets.

Now I'm confused. I jsut successfully opkg install parted and tailscale. I think I was using Luci to search for them, but maybe I was looking in the wrong place?

Anyway, there doesn't seem to be problem.

Could be they were in the middle of being built, who knows, that happens sometimes.... But, if it works now :+1:t3:
