[SOLVED] OPKG - Upgrading of packages reports errors

[mariano.silva]

Team,

When doing some updates from the repositories lately, I'm noticing this error messages:

Configuring luci-theme-material.
uci: Parse error (too many arguments) at line 18, byte 132
uci: Parse error (too many arguments) at line 21, byte 128

BTW: I'm using the darkmatter them from this repo: src/gz reboot_darkmatter https://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/snapshots/r4114/packages/arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3/darkmatter

Any clues of why this may be happening? Maybe an incompatibility with darkmatter?

Hey, anyone?

There is a typo in one of your "/etc/config" files, and "uci" is complaining because it is called during the installation of new packages; execute "uci changes" to find the typo and fix it.

@eduperez thanks for the hint! I've did a uci changes, and it is just telling me this:

root@RouterACS:/etc# uci changes
uci: Parse error (too many arguments) at line 21, byte 128

How do I find which file is the offending one?

How do I find which file is the offending one?

Paste following command into your terminal:

for x in /etc/config/*; do uci -q show "${x#/etc/config/}" >/dev/null || echo "$x is broken"; done

@jow Thanks for the script! I found the offending file, deleted it and now everything is working fine! Thanks again.
