What do?

That's an EA4200 viper, btw, if it's relevant...

That looks to me like a bug in "opkg". I would first try to upgrade it "opkg upgrade opkg"; and if that fails, file a bug.

"apt"? isn't that for Debian (and derivatives)?

Also, how do I flash new firmware onto it, since I can't just upgrade it?

I think you have a serious issue with your installation, I would consider reinstalling everything from start, and move to LEDE unless you have a good reason to use snapshots.

Flashing a new firmware uses a different procedure, there are other programs involved, than may or may not work.

opkg upgrade only upgrades your packages to the most current for that release, it doesn't give you a new version of openwrt/lede.

I do agree you need a new flash, something is very wrong with what you have.

The easiest way to upgrade the flash is from the system menu in LUCI, if that is not available then using the sysupgrade command is your next option.

You might try resetting to defaults in luci also though it appears your opkg is truly broken. you could try re-installing opkg also but i'm guessing that would just fail anyway.

Also, you can clean the overlay partition, and do a "factory reset" back to how OpenWrt was just after you installed it; see https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/gene … ult_config for more info.

Hi. To be fair, this is definitely a valid issue. I am using LEDE, & the problem is just the same. opkg update does not fix anything. I did a little looking around for this & found something.

Someone who goes by the name mach327 seems to have found the problem just days ago. Apparently, the problem is in a python file for opkg. See for yourself...

https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/5148

The discussion might have continued from here.
