Problems updating 21.02.1 new install

[Mpilon]

2 different errors from luci - system - software update:

1. banner at top of page, no results window.

Unable to execute *opkg update* command: SyntaxError: 
Unexpected end of JSON input" - 

2. is an error indicated when I do get a results window:

Failed to send request: Operation not permitted
Collected errors:
 * opkg_download: Failed to download https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.1/packages/arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4/telephony/Packages.gz, wget returned 4.
 * opkg_download: Check your network settings and connectivity.

My ISP was down earlier today but has been back up for 8hrs or more. - is the problem at my end or is this a telephony package issue?

All help appreciated,
M.

the package file is there, and it's DLable, I'd say it's an issue on your end.

Does the same happen with 21.02.3?

wget returned 4 is in general a network issue, see https://openwrt.org/faq/failed_to_download_wget_returned_4

• check if you have enough storage: df -h
• check your network: ping downloads.openwrt.org this will verify your DNS and network access
• run opkg update and opkg install from cli instead of web page

thanks for the ideas - I re-installed pihole, rebooted my router and some of the machines on my LAN - somewhere in all that was a fix.
