Dear all,
I played around LEDE and found hard to install/remove packages, as the old configuration is retained in /etc/config. As a result, luci is easily broken. Examples:
- remove dnsmaq (if you don't need a dhcp server and only need a dhcp client).
- launch luci.
- Luci section Network=>dhcp server is still present. You might click and configure and nothing happens.
The same applies for other packages, which drove me "mad" before understanding:
- luci-app-unbound
- luci-app-adblock
Furthermore, when reinstalling dnsmasq, the old configuration is retained and the new (pristine) configuration is discarded. On other systems, when a new package is reinstalled, the configuration file "foo" is saved as "foo.bak" like in Gnu/linux Debian.
So I got confused until I understood that I had to look for file in /etc/config and remove them carefully.
Keep the good things!
