I am looking to use Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) and I need to install
rpcd-mod-file

but I'm getting an error saying that the package isn't available

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install rpcd-mod-file
Unknown package 'rpcd-mod-file'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package rpcd-mod-file.

Anyone know how to get round this?

Thanks

Try

opkg update
opkg install rpcd-mod-file

Sorry, thats what I had tried....here is the output

root@OpenWrt:/usr/share/rpcd/acl.d# opkg update
