Snapshot: APK uninstall package

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi all, I'm on friday's snapshot, i'm trying to uninstall CT drivers and switch to NON-ct but I cant. Not sure about the correct syntax, I tried to approximate with old opkg syntax, details following:

root@EX6150v2:~# apk list -I|grep -i ath10
ath10k-board-qca4019-20241110-r1 arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4 {feeds/base/firmware/linux-firmware} () [installed]
ath10k-firmware-qca4019-ct-2020.11.08-r1 arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4 {feeds/base/firmware/ath10k-ct-firmware} () [installed]
kmod-ath10k-ct-6.6.74.2024.07.30~ac71b14d-r2 arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4 {feeds/base/kernel/ath10k-ct} (GPLv2) [installed]
root@EX6150v2:~# apk del ath10k-board-qca4019-20241110-r1
ERROR: No such package: ath10k-board-qca4019-20241110-r1
root@EX6150v2:~# apk del ath10k-firmware-qca4019-ct-2020.11.08-r1
ERROR: No such package: ath10k-firmware-qca4019-ct-2020.11.08-r1

What I'm missing?
Thanks in advance

Do it as described in 24.10rc7, TP-EAP245, error log. ath10k - #6 by frollic, using the page for your device, obviously.

Thank you for pointing to that. So I cant do it from shell but i need to create a custom build.
Please correct if i'm wrong.
Thanks

I think this should be:
apk del ath10k-firmware-qca4019-ct
This is the package name, whereas your original uses the apk file name.

The logic (I think) is to remove the package that provides ath10k-firmware-qca4019-ct

You can delete, but you'll lose the space those packages have allocated, it can't be freed up from a read only file system.

Correct. You can get apk list to show you the package names split from the version using the --manifest formatting option:

$ apk list -I --manifest  t*
tc-tiny 6.12.0-r2
tcpdump 4.99.5-r1
terminfo 6.4-r2
