[Solved] Satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for tc:

Hi was tryin g to play with tc (to mirror traffic between interfaces don't know if its the right way)

but:

what's going wrong here ?

Need to update kernel ? How should I proceed ?

Your kernel is not consistent with the package repository. The packages that interact with the kernel need to be obtained from basically the same build as the kernel. Though I have vague memories that snapshot repos were somehow available from past versions, snapshots have historically been "point in time" in that as soon as the next build kicks off, there was no access to consistent kernel modules.

Let me try to understand

usually you would get packages compiled for older kernels

but for me building on images by myself on my machine is the other way round

So only thing to do is rebuild my image ??

Or is there a way to force the system to install them (think chances to have them broken is small) ?

You can try building the needed packages from your source tree. Personally, I'd just build a new image if you're already building your own images.

I would not try to "force" a mismatched kernel module, even if it might work.

There is strict kernel checksumming on the kernel version and all kernel options. In practice, any change to kernel version of options or selected kernel packages triggers the failure.

Yes, the thing to do is to rebuild your image from source and to include the package in the build (at least selected to be built with "m".

Yes, you can try forcing it with opkg option "--force-depends" but that is risky. Read opkg manual

Okdokey good

new problem cannot find tc in make menuconfig

there is a tc reference in .config but none in make menuconfig (checked under busybox too)

found here:

https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=1388&opened=262&status[0]=

is under iproute2 that is iproute in openwrt ???

And yes, tc is part of the iproute2 sources, but it is quite normally a separate package

/tc doesn't work don't know why

I noticed the same. Probably too short search string
