Ipkg Cannot Find Local Ipks

It isn't difficult when you stop to do it by hand and use our tools instead - we wrote them for a reason.

Anyway, isn't it CONTROL/control, not control/control ?

Ipkg Cannot Find Local Ipks

Alright, getting very fed up now.
Can somebody please tell me what is wrong with this ipk?

control/control:

Package: irppp
Section: opie/Shell
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Simon Williams <www.systemparadox.tk>
Architecture: arm
OE: irppp-1.0.0
Version: 1.0.0
License: GPL
Description: Simple Opie-SH script to start/stop a PPP over IrCOMM connection.

Make sure that that architecture is defined in either /etc/ipkg.conf or /etc/ipkg/*.conf files.  In one of those files, there should be a line similar to the following:

arch arm 16

'arch' is a keyword identifying this as a architecture configuration item
'arm' is the type of architecture (make sure you have one arch item which matches the architecture in your package's control field)
'16' is a priority value for this architecture (I believe higher value has higher priority).  The value decides which arch takes precidence over another.

If you don't have the arm arch defined, add it to /etc/ipkg.conf.
