Hi,

I have a question about the mentioned behaviour.

I got the same error (on 18.06.8 and now on 19.07.3):

So I checked - and there are no libremesh/map packages or directories on the openwrt.org release Servers. So why are there those opkg lists? 

Because there are no binary releases?

Thanks for a hint ;-)
