[SOLVED] Opkg update error wget returned 8

@cksum0120

in my notebook install winscp and connect to LEDE(router) right?

Right.

You use SCP to connect to the router in WinSCP.

Read the documentation.

[mk24]

The SCP protocol is part of SSH. The router will act as a SCP server and that functionality is always installed in a release build.

Please issue the following:

rm /etc/opkg.conf && cp /rom/etc/opkg.conf /etc/opkg.conf && opkg update

• If you're still getting an error, please post the output of /etc/opkg.conf within code boxes
  
  

@jwoods

Could be a temporary issue.

http just worked for me.

Unless one is going to verify the sha256 hashes of every package installed via opkg before installing, https should be utilized.

• Not doing so opens the user to a possible MITM attack, which should not be an acceptable risk to anyone on a WAN facing router.

Please note that opkg does not understand https://, only http:// urls by default.

there is no /rom/etc/opkg.conf . so i can't do that

@dibdot I wasn't aware of that, thanks! =]

@cksum0120 SDcard images must be different then... verify /etc/opkg.conf matches the following:

dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /overlay
option check_signature 1

• The only times I've seen a wget error 8 with opkg is when:
  • there's been corruption/changes to the opkg config files
  • the routers IP is not permitted to access WAN
  • WAN is inaccessible all together.
