I just updated an ext4 x86 VM with auc -y to latest snapshot (k 6.1.78 r25241-fba79f39f2). rpc-sys is now failing to report installed packages:
$ ubus call rpc-sys packagelist
{
"packages": {
}
}
According to opkg I've got 264 packages, and examining /usr/lib/opkg/, I see both the status and info/*.control files all look fine.
$ opkg list-installed | wc -l
264
Tried rebooting, no help. Restarting rpc, '/etc/init.d/rpcd restart', no change.
Then re-installed the rpc-sys module (note that the package has not been changed in over 8 months, so it's almost certainly not a bug in that package):
$ opkg install --force-reinstall rpcd-mod-rpcsys
No packages removed.

Configuring rpcd-mod-rpcsys.
And now it's showing only itself.
$ ubus call rpc-sys packagelist
{
"packages": {
"rpcd-mod-rpcsys": "2023-07-01-c07ab2f9-1"
}
}
Anyone got a clue where things are failing? What did that package reinstall change that I can't find in the opkg database?
