Topic: [solved]url link can not install :Failed to extract control file

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg  install  https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.
1/ar71xx/generic/packages/base/libc_0.9.33.2-1_ar71xx.ipk
Collected errors:
* wfopen: https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_cal … r71xx.ipk: No such file or directory.
* pkg_init_from_file: Failed to extract control file from https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_cal … r71xx.ipk.

It is so strange that the url here
https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_cal … ar71xx.ipk
can be downloaded when to input it in my firefox.

Why wfopen can't?

opkg update
opkg install libc

or if u want to do manually, .ipk are just .tar.gz files, rename and uncompress it.
