[Solved] *** Failed to download the package list Error

Getting a "*** Failed to download the package list error when running opkg update. Can manually download the file with wget. Increasing the verbosity level does not seem to help shed any light onto what's causing the error.

Did you redact any of the error messages? The specific error message is useful in figuring out what is wrong.

No, there was no other error messages I edited out. Bunch of log statements before the "Downloadng https://" line that I removed.

Can you paste the whole output of this:

opkg update

Basically just this:

*** Failed to download the package list from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.3/targets/ipq806x/generic/packages/Packages.gz

Repeated for all the sources configured.

I think I figured it out. My temp partition was full. Working now.

Thanks for the help
