opkg updation

Hi Vivek,

How exactly are you unable to update? Any error messages?

The correct way to update the OPKG-installed applications to the latest ported versions is:

opkg update && opkg upgrade

Miroslav

Hi Miroslav,

I have checked with opkg update and opkg upgrade commands.

It shows no error. While navigating to /etc/opkg/. I find two files:

1)arch.conf  

2)opkg.conf

The contents of arch.conf are :-

arch all 1
arch any 6
arch noarch 11
arch arm 16
arch armv4 21
arch armv5 26
arch armv5-vfp 31
arch armv5e 36
arch armv5e-vfp 41
arch armv6-vfp 46
arch armv7a 51
arch armv7a-vfp 56
arch armv7a-vfp-neon 61
arch am335x_evm 66
arch armv7a-vfp-neon-3.2

and

the contents of opkg.conf are :-

# Proxy Support
#option http_proxy http://proxy.tld:3128
#option ftp_proxy http://proxy.tld:3128
#option proxy_username <username>
#option proxy_password <password>

# Enable GPGME signature
# option check_signature 1

# Offline mode (for use in constructing flash images offline)
#option offline_root target

dest root /
lists_dir ext /var/lib/opkg.

I don't know why I am unable to update opkg.

Looking forward for reply.

Thanks and Regards:- 

Hi Vivek,

# Must have one or more source entries of the form:

# and one or more destination entries of the form:

#   dest <dest-name> <target-path>

Try adding this line in the opkg.conf file (before dest root /):

src/gz am335x-evm http://feeds.arago-project.org/feeds/live/ipk/am335x-evm

Also uncomment the proxy options if needed and set them accordingly.

Hi Miroslav,

I have tried modifying opkg.conf file. On executing opkg update I get the error message as :

Downloading http://feeds.arago-project.org/feeds/live/ipk/am335x-evm/Packages.gz.
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://feeds.arago-project.org/feeds/live/ipk/am335x-evm/Packages.gz, wget returned 1.

The contents of opkg.conf file are as follows:-

# Must have one or more source entries of the form:
#
# src <src-name> <source-url>
#
# and one or more destination entries of the form:
#
# dest <dest-name> <target-path>

src/gz am335x-evm http://feeds.arago-project.org/feeds/live/ipk/am335x-evm

dest root /
lists_dir ext /var/lib/opkg

I guess there is some problem with the link.

Thanks and Regards.

Hi Vivek,

Seems like there really is an issue with the link. Judging by this post by Chase Maupin, the feeds were removed some SDK releases ago.

Please read the rest of the topic I just linked and you may find a suggestion there.

Best regards,
Miroslav

Hi Miroslav,

Shall I proceed with the link http://arago-project.org/files/releases/2009.11/ipk/armv7a/ by adding line.

src/gz am335x-evm http://arago-project.org/files/releases/2009.11/ipk/armv7a/

dest root /
lists_dir ext /var/lib/opkg

in the opkg.conf file.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Vivek,

You can try it, but this is a release from 2009 and I believe this would hardly be an update...

Best regards,
Miroslav
