I need to install a program in a Lime router (built based on OpenWRT 18.06) First I have done `opkg update`. It updated some lists of packages but I also got the following errors: -------------------- * opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06-SNAPSHOT/packages/mips_24kc/lib…, wget returned 8. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06-SNAPSHOT/packages/mips_24kc/lib…, wget returned 8. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://snapshots.libremesh.org/packages/mips_24kc/libremesh/Packages.gz, wget returned 4. --------------------

When I edited the development page on the website I didn't think about the drawbacks (at that time the reason was that we needed a commit which was not included yet in any tag). The binary repositories are available only for tagged releases, that's why you cannot find the packages using OPKG. I just edited the webpage (just changed one line) indicating the tag: [2]. So that now the command for downloading the OpenWrt code is: git clone -b v18.06.8 --single-branch https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git Maybe you can use the same directory you were using, after some clean and dirclean, but it's better if you just download again in a clean way. Sorry for the mess. Ciao, Ilario PS in the same way, if you want to compile on top of OpenWrt 19.07, just replace v18.06.8 with v19.07.3 [1] https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=tags [2] https://libremesh.org/development.html#compiling_libremesh_from_source_code

amuza: I tried with 18.06.8 but got similar results when using opkg. "opkg update" gave me some errors too: * opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.8/packages/mips_24kc/libremap/P…, wget returned 8. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.8/packages/mips_24kc/libremesh/…, wget returned 8. * opkg_download: Failed to download http://snapshots.libremesh.org/packages/mips_24kc/libremesh/Packages.gz, wget returned 4. * opkg_download: Check your network settings and connectivity. And when trying to install the program I got this: root@MV-7ab7ec:~# opkg install tc Installing tc (4.16.0-8) to root... Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.8/packages/mips_24kc/base/tc_4.… Collected errors: * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for tc: * kernel (= 4.9.214-1-2b8f9dfe583e5c09aadd9474da55137f) * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package tc. root@MV-7ab7ec:~#

amuza: I still don't know why I had that problem when installing some programs, but anyway, I don't need help there anymore. I added them to the compilation.

I think that the original problem is that a few programs (the kernel modules for example) are forced to depend to exactly the same kernel with exactly the same configuration. So using a different kernel version or config will raise a "invalid version", that was what happened. That is beacause the openwrt feed had one version but you compiled another version of the kernel.

Thanks Ilario for taking the time to investigate and document your findings!
