Title: ipkg problem
Post by: enemy_cow on March 15, 2004, 11:21:40 am

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?

Corrupted package?

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

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