hullo all:
ive noticed that using ipkg to install packages sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. im attempting to install opieftp, and i get the error "Cannot find package <opieftp>.ipk. Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'". im quite sure that the spelling is indeed correct, and i attempted to do an ipkg update. any insight into what might be the problem here? |

Try ar -x packagename and see whether you get anything extracted. Si |

also, it should be noted that several of the files that arent behaving properly were retrieved from the opie applications download page.
