No, I installed an ipk with no issues.
What are the errors you are getting?
Si
# ipkg install qpdf2_render-freetype-2-1.2.1-20040217_arm.ipk
The following package were previously requested but have not been installed:
error
Install them now [Y/n] ? n
zcat: qpdf2_render-freetype-2-1.2.1-20040217_arm.ipk: not in gzip format
zcat: stdin: unexpected end of file
ipkg_install_file: ERROR unpacking control.tar.gz from qpdf2_render-freetype-2-1.2.1-20040217_arm.ipk
#
Not sure where that error message is coming from; \"ipkg update\" doesn\'t seem to clear it. I also tried installing qpdf2_render-freetype-2-1.1.0-20031208_arm.ipk and got the same zcat error.
This in on Cacko 121 ROM.
