Unable to install CoovaChilli - kernel dependency errors

For Developers
1

Hello! I am attempting to install CoovaChilli on a Comfast CF-E355AC v2.

LEDE Version: Reboot (SNAPSHOT, r5216-5302abe745)

When I try to install CoovChilli I get the following error:

root@LEDE:~# opkg install coova-chilli
Installing coova-chilli (1.3.0+20141128-4) to root...
Downloading http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mips_24kc/packages/coova-chilli_1.3.0+20141128-4_mips_24kc.ipk
Multiple packages (libpthread and libpthread) providing same name marked HOLD or PREFER. Using latest.
Collected errors:
 * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for coova-chilli:
 * 	kernel (= 4.9.65-1-1099a298c1a12dff817c08ff1e9b77ed) * 
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package coova-chilli.

I have not had luck finding a resolution for this issue. When I force installed CoovaChilli it sent the unit into a kernel panic loop.

Does anyone have any advice on how to install CoovaChilli on my build?

Thank you in advance!

You include the package in the compiled firmware image.

There is a strict kernel version & options checksum check that in practice prevents installing kmod kernel packages into private builds (or new snapshot packages to old snapshot firmwares that have older, possibly slightly different kernels).

coova-chilli apparently has been set to depend on the kernel version, so it goes into that category.
