[SOLVED] ipkg not downloading packages / mirror not there

theeyealtering · **Joined:** Sun May 16, 2010 5:54 am **Posts:** 3

I've searched pretty thoroughly but haven't been able to find a solution to this. I'm running LS Live New with the latest firmware (2.21):

Code:

:~# uname -a
Linux Mybox 2.6.22.7 #15 Tue Sep 8 18:32:54 JST 2009 armv5tejl unknown

I've managed to get ssh going and ipkg installed with bootstrap. I was able to install transmission yesterday.

But now when I attempt to install packages I get this:

Code:

:~# ipkg install mt-daapd-svn                                                                                                                                                                 
Installing mt-daapd-svn (1696-1) to root...
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q3armel/cross/stable/mt-daapd-svn_1696-1_arm.ipk
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 22.
Collected errors:
ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 8: `wget --passive-ftp    -q -P /opt/ipkg-x4yoQ7 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q3armel/cross/stable/mt-daapd-svn_1696-1_arm.ipk'
Failed to download mt-daapd-svn. Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?

What does return value 8 mean?

So I run 'ipkg update':

Code:

:~# ipkg update
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q3armel/cross/stable/Packages.gz
Inflating http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q3armel/cross/stable/Packages.gz
Updated list of available packages in /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/cross
Successfully terminated.

No problems.

I thought it could be a dns error as the LS has a static ip, however:

Code:

:~# nslookup www.google.com.au
Server:      208.67.222.222
Address:   208.67.222.222#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.google.com.au   canonical name = www.google.com.
www.google.com   canonical name = google.navigation.opendns.com.
Name:   google.navigation.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.219.230
Name:   google.navigation.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.219.231

Code:

:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

(I changed it to OpenDNS just in case somehow my ISP's server was the issue)

So I am really at a loss to what is going on here. Can anyone help?

EDIT: I'm logging in as root with ssh from Ubuntu if that is of any consequence.

Figured out the problem.
Repository not there.
Any ideas which repo I can use?

I can see the repository and the pakage you are trying
to install.
http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... ss/stable/
If you can't see the repository, you do have a local problem.

I have also started getting this problem. I first got it when trying to install python. I thought it might be my installation that was messed up, so i tried reinstalling bootstrap and ipkg. But i still have the problem. My console output is:

Code:

Failed to download rtorrent. Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?

Anyone else experiencing problems with ipkg/wget???

ok. So i think i figured this out. Apparently the normal http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... oss/stable site is down like you stated.

I found an alternative mirror at:

http://nslu2-linux.dyoung-mirror.net/fe ... ss/stable/

This can be added to the /opt/etc/ipkg.conf file as a new source. The problem is that ipkg also looks for sources in /opt/etc/ipkg/cross-feed.conf and therefore allways looks at this first. Since the site is not "completely" down ipkg still thinks it is active, but when you try and download the packages it fails. So you need to comment out the source in this file.

My confugiration files look like this:

cat /opt/etc/ipkg/cross-feed.conf

Code:

# src/gz cross http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/stable

cat /opt/etc/ipkg.conf

Code:

# Uncomment one of the following package feeds or resolve your arch
# by visiting http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/
# src nslu2 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/nslu2/cross/stable
 src nslu2_mirror http://nslu2-linux.dyoung-mirror.net/feeds/optware/cs05q3armel/cross/stable/

# src fsg3 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/fsg3/cross/stable
# src ddwrt http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable
# src xwrt http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable
# src whiterussian http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable
# src oleg http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable
# src ts72xx http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ts72xx/cross/stable
# src/gz openwrt-brcm24 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/openwrt-brcm24/cross/unstable
# src/gz openwrt-ixp4xx http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/openwrt-ixp4xx/cross/unstable/



dest root /

#option verbose-wget
#
# Proxy support:
#
#option http_proxy http://localhost:5865
#option ftp_proxy http://proxy.tld:3128
#option proxy_username <username>
#option proxy_password <password>

This did the trick for me. hope it helps you too...

If you can't see the repository, you do have a local problem.

The only file which is actually there is the package list.
The rest just seem to be symbolic links to a mirror that doesn't exist. They appear for me in firefox, but when I try to download them I get a 404 error.
I guess that is why it would update but not actually install.

Cheers, I'll try that.

EDIT: That worked. Thanks a lot. :up:

This mirror is now down too.

The problem with the original repository is that links to ipkg packages are redirected to ipkg2.nslu2-linux.org, who is not responding.
All other files like Packages[.gz], lspro-bootstrap_1.2-7_arm.xsh, etc. are still available on the original server.
Only the packages themselves are not reachable.

Unfortunately ipkg.nas-central.org (wiki) is also not available.

anyone have another mirror or know who to poke with stick to get the original one working???

maddes · **Posted:** Thu Jul 29, 2010 8:32 pm

I found one through the NSLU2 pages (see Mirrors section).

Thanks very much - the original is now back up :-)

I can confirm, packages can be downloaded again from the original repository.
Tested with 3 packages from http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... ss/stable/ = gcc, asla and openssl

Hi I've got an Icynas and am trying to follow these instructions. I'm have a hell of a time getting my packages to update.

All I am getting when I do this is this:

Code:

ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 1: `wget --passive-ftp    -q -P /opt/ipkg-fAdtXH http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ts72xx/cross/stable/Packages.gz'

I've tried this as well as uncommenting one of the other lines in the file

Code:

ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 1: `wget --passive-ftp    -q -P /opt/ipkg-f1MZ1d http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/fsg3/cross/stable/Packages'

Can you help point me in the right direction at all?

I have never properly managed to use this nas as the samba on it falls over after x GB of transfer and I am hoping I can get around this by using rsync to backup files to it.

Thanks

@giraffedog:
a) I can download http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... ackages.gz with my browser.
b) What has "--passive-ftp" to do with the HTTP protocol?
c) Remove "-q" so you can see the error messages.
d) Check your network (dns, gateway, connection, etc.) and firewalls
e) Check pathes and file names
f) Check wget's man page (web)

So this is not an issue with the mirrors, therefore wrong thread.
