Title: __.ipk With Ipkg On Sl-5500 (and '-dest Sd')...
Post by: sconfrms on April 05, 2006, 02:32:38 pm

ipkg always attempts to retrieve a mysterious, nonexistent file called __.ipk.

I get the following whenever I attempt to install a package using ipkg.  Take for instance, xkbd:

Installing xkbd...Done.
ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 is truncated

filename - __.ipk

Code: [Select]

ipkg_download: ERROR: Failed to retrieve http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/zumi/__.ipk, returning
ipkg_get_install: Perhaps you need to run `ipkg update'?
Does anyone know why it attempts to install this mysterious package?  A check of /etc/ipkg.conf reveals nothing out of order...  It is present no matter what feeds I have listed in the file.

Also, I attempted to use the '-dest sd' and '-d /mnt/card' flags with ipkg, and it will not install to my SD card.  What is the issue there?

In addition, note how many of these downloaded files are truncated.  That is not good.  Anyone have an explanation for this?

This is on a fresh installation of 1.1.0beta1 on the SL-5500.

Thanks.

on a 5500 you cannot use the package ending with armv5tel.ipk
so you cannot use zumi's feed there
only the "official feed" and the 2 feeds:
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/voider_feed (http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/voider_feed)
and
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/Zaurus-5000D-5500 (http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/Zaurus-5000D-5500)

I'm not sure if it's correct to ask this here:

I have a SL7500C with PDAXROM 1.1.0beta1 and I also have the __.ipk issue:

When I ran the following command:
  ipkg install -d /mnt/card/home firefox

the output was as follows:
  filename - __.ipk

  Downloading .../feed/__.ipk
  ...
  ERROR 404: Not Found.

Installing trough the PackageManager also had problems. Does anyone know about this issue?

That appears to be a malformed command! Read this:

Thanks.

Not only the command line was wrong, I figured out that I have to format the SD card as EXT2 in order to properly install the application.
