Unable to compile or install sstp-client since APK switch

For Developers
1

Attempting full rebuild from main/source since APK was made default recently. Am unable to build sstp-client due to the following error which appears during a build AND when trying to install afterwards, as seen here:

[root@nanopi-r6c ~]# apk fix
(1/1) Reinstalling sstp-client (1.0.20-r1)
ERROR: sstp-client-1.0.20-r1: trying to overwrite etc/ppp/chap-secrets owned by ppp-2.5.1-r1.
1 error; 214 MiB in 631 packages

I'm also unable to build fail2ban but am still trying to chase down exactly why, might be an issue on my build host vs. an actual upstream issue.

Thanks for reading! :slight_smile:

Forgot to mention - other than these small issues, so far so good with alpine package manager! Inadvertently discovered that a simple apk info lists out all of my installed packages cleanly. I like it.

apk will expose more packaging bugs than opkg knew about, these things will have to be fixed one by one.

Yes. In order to work around this for now I simply ran apk fix --force-overwrite to allow the sstp-client package /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file to overwrite the one provided by ppp; no more error reported and sstp-client is installed clean.
