I am working on a Colibri module having Angstrom linux installed in it! The processor is ARM v7. I am having trouble updating the softwares installed in the system. Whenever I tried the command opkg update, I'd get a bunch of errors. Probably, it seems that the support from Angstrom project has been withdrawn as it gives 404 content not found error. The error message is: $ opkg update Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2014.06/ipk/eglibc/armv7ahf-vfp-neon/base/Packages.gz . wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2014.06/ipk/eglibc/armv7ahf-vfp-neon/debug/Packages.gz . wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2014.06/ipk/eglibc/armv7ahf-vfp-neon/gstreamer/Packages.gz . wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2014.06/ipk/eglibc/all/Packages.gz .

Again, surprisingly, the error message is unbelievable... $ opkg install gcc Unknown package 'gcc'. Collected errors: * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package gcc. I have no idea as to how to resolve this error as it is completely surprising. Also, it is of immense importance as I have to complete it within 2 days of installing gcc and running C programs...
