I'm just wondering what is the equivalent of apt-get upgrade apt upgrade yum update with OpenWRT or LEDE?

I have a custom Linux distro built with Yocto/Poky on branch thud. I'm using opkg as software to manage my packages updates on my embedded systems. I have hundreds of systems running and wanted to upgrade an important package on them (my-custom-package). On the vast majority of them, everything went fine but on 4 systems I'm facing these errors :

root@hostname:~# opkg -v
opkg version 0.3.6 (libsolv 0.6.35)

So my-custom-package has several Python dependencies and opkg seems to not be able to find them. But when I run opkg info on dependencies, I get a result and opkg finds the packet. I verified on my respository if the compressed packets to download were there and everything seems fine. Also one of my problematic embedded systems runs in the same bulding as others which were installed the same day (so come from same image, same compilation,...). I'm used to update packages with opkg from remote. I encountered this kind of issue just once about 6 months ago on a single system but, as it was an upgrade of a non critical package, I just ignored the issue. I tried opkg clean but no success. I've read the man page to look for some helping commands but none seems to have an effect. EDIT: Another interesting things:

root@hostname:~# opkg download python3-core
Downloading https://my-repository/ipks/v2/cortexa9t2hf-neon/python3-core_3.5.6-r1.0_cortexa9t2hf-neon.ipk .
Downloaded python3-core as python3-core_3.5.6-r1.0_cortexa9t2hf-neon.ipk.

So if I try to just download one of the packages opkg can't find, it works... Also, a simple opkg list-upgradable returns the same kind of errors:

root@hostname:~# opkg list-upgradable

Trying to search with opkg command in my Onion Omega system: opkg search vim opkg search v* Got nothing in output in all cases. What I do wrong?

I want to write a script to check the version of a opkg package before installing it. I've done a lot of research and found a few answer on dpkg system but none on opkg system. I've tried opkg info, opkg status, opkg list but they all seem to work on installed packages, but not with .opk files. I can somehow get the information by opkg install file.opk --noaction but it's very slow and the output could be hard to parse reliably because the test installation could fail for all different reasons. And opkg compare-versions only compares strings so no solution. -------------------------- **Update:** I thought more about this. The opk package is basically a .tar.gz file and version number is stored in one of the text files in it (in the CONTROL/control file). So to get the version info from the package, it's inevitable to decompress it, so it has to take some time. Although a quick solution is to put the version number as part of the file name of the package then parse the name, but file name can be very easily altered. My plan is to use a two-pass approach: 1) include version number as part of the package name and parse the package name to get a "not-very-trustable" version number; 2) if it looks good then do a "dry run" installation to get the real version number as is in the CONTROL/control file. If it's also good then proceed to real installation. One of the problems with this approach is that, it effectively doubled the amount of time to do a real installation: before a real installation can run a dry run is run first, which takes equal amount of time. **Update 2:** The above update is not entirely true because opk is an ar archive that has two files in it debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz, and version info is in control.tar.gz. So it's feasible to quickly extract control.tar.gz from opk then extract control from control.tar.gz, then get version number from there.

Openembedded opkg packages for python contain pyc files. I looked at python3-dbus, and I do not see a post-install step. All python related files except the SO files are in /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/dbus. If I install the Python GPS source + the compiled pyc files into: /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gps /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gps/__pycache__ If I then try to import the gps library I see: >>> import gps Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/mtadm/gps/__init__.py", line 10, in from .gps import * File "/home/mtadm/gps/gps.py", line 23, in from gpsclient import gpscommon, json_error, gpsjson, dictwrapper, GPSD_PORT ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gpsclient' Now if I compile one file in /usr/lib/python3.8/\_\_pycache\_\_ and copy it into place the problem goes away (the following copies one file from a tree of freshly compiled pyc files): /tmp/python3.8/__pycache__$ sudo cp -a textwrap.cpython-38.pyc /usr/lib/python3.8/__pycache__/ Password: ot0:/tmp/python3.8/__pycache__$ cd / ot0:/$ python Python 3.8.11 (default, Mar 9 2018, 12:34:56) [GCC 9.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import gps >>> I would hope there would be some other way to get the GPS library to work.

I'm getting an error in OpenWRT Attitude Adjustment that says: -ash: brctl: not found when I run brctl addif br-lan mesh0 I tried: opkg update opkg install brctl But I got this error: Unknown package brctl Is brctl in a larger package? If so, what package do I need to install use it? Also, for future reference, is there a manual or something that lists what functions are in what packages? Thanks!

I am using OpenWrt in my TP_Link TL-WRD3600 router. I have already set up a hotspot plugin (Nodogsplash) on my router. Now I need to allow access to some website before authentication on the splash page. But I need to allow this website using its domain name, eg: example.com, because my splash page logs in to an external website. FirewallRuleSet preauthenticated-users { FirewallRule allow tcp port 80 to example.com } But clients are not allowed to navigate to this page before authentication has completed.

I am trying to configure OpenWrt on my device and got out of space. I was downloading some tooling packages. Now how can I determine their weights so that decide what to uninstall? Is it possible to display the size of installed packages with OPKG?

I just bought a set top box (digital reciever - Vu+ Solo2 ) which runs Linux, and would like to compile some C software on it. It uses OPKG as the package manager. I executed opkg update and: root@vusolo2:~# opkg install gcc Unknown package 'gcc'. Collected errors: opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package gcc. root@vusolo2:~# I figured that this is because I do not have the necessary repositories. The files in /etc/opkg/ only point to feeds/repositories that are owned by the creators of the Linux image that the receiver is running (Black Hole ). As far as I understood, the repositories need to match the CPU architecture. Here is the output of /proc/cpuinfo: root@vusolo2:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo system type : BCM7346B2 STB platform machine : Unknown processor : 0 cpu model : Broadcom BMIPS5000 V1.1 FPU V0.1 BogoMIPS : 864.25 cpu MHz : 1305.007 wait instruction : yes microsecond timers : yes tlb_entries : 64 extra interrupt vector : yes hardware watchpoint : no isa : mips1 mips2 mips32r1 ASEs implemented : shadow register sets : 1 kscratch registers : 0 core : 0 VCED exceptions : not available VCEI exceptions : not available processor : 1 cpu model : Broadcom BMIPS5000 V1.1 FPU V0.1 BogoMIPS : 655.36 cpu MHz : 1305.007 wait instruction : yes microsecond timers : yes tlb_entries : 64 extra interrupt vector : yes hardware watchpoint : no isa : mips1 mips2 mips32r1 ASEs implemented : shadow register sets : 1 kscratch registers : 0 core : 0 VCED exceptions : not available VCEI exceptions : not available Now, which repositories should I use to get the following packages: gcc gcc-symlinks make-dev binutils-dev libgcc-dev ?

I have a router flashed to run openwrt (BARRIER BREAKER (Bleeding Edge, r36234)) But opkg can't find packages. According to the error messages and /etc/opkg.conf it seems to be trying to find them at : http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages which is clearly a deprecated address. So where is the new repository? And can I point opkg at it simply by updating the address in the first line of /etc/opkg.conf? (currently : src/gz barrier_breaker http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages )

When I try to install python-xml using opkg install python-xml -d ram It goes through the following steps: - Installing... [WORKS] - Downloading... [WORKS] - Configuring... [FAILS] The "configuring" step fails with errors...

grep: /usr/lib/opkg/info/.control No such file or directory 
cat: can't open '/usr/lib/opkg/info/.list' No such file or directory

The files opkg is looking for are in the directory: /tmp/usr/lib/opkg/info **PROBLEM:** opkg should be looking to the /tmp directory when using the –d dest_name parameter Does anyone know how to get the "configuring" step to use /tmp as the root? *NOTE: I found an open ticket on openwrt.org, but it doesn't specify a workaround.*

Using Opkg I'd like to update two different Linux 3.16 based RFS's partitions. They are both mounted read only & there is a data partition, which via aufs, does the write overlays. How can I do an upgrade to each partition such that I get an atomic update (all or nothing). Is there an opkg way to do this? My current approach is running update/install/upgrade under chroot/chdir in the non-booted rfs partition, after mounting it r/w, but I always get non-zero exit codes from the upgrade, even though there are no 'collected errors' reported. I've also tried using the setting dest root /.rfs2 in the .conf to install in the non-booted rfs. However, only some packages seem to then be correctly referencing/installing to .rfs2. Before trying to go further I just wanted to see if this was a good approach or if there was a more standard(opkg) way to do this? Could anyone provide any instruction on the best way to do this? df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on ubi0:rootfs 98284 66484 31800 68% /.rfs1 ubi2:data 178908 36664 137404 21% /.data ubi1:rootfs 98284 66484 31800 68% /.rfs2 Edit: I've found the some .ipk files install with post scripts containing systemctl(enable/start/stop) cmd's which, can't (easily)?, be run from within chroot. These appear to be the source of the error codes. Not sure what to do about that. Edit: I don't need to update them both at the same time, if fact I really want to update the non-booted partition first, swap boot partitions, verify the one I just booted to/updated is valid, then nanddump to clone.

OPKG is used as the package manager in an embedded Linux system. I would like to be able to determine the license of a package prior to installing the package. Is there a simple way to achieve this through the package manager (or related utility included with the Angstrom distribution)? Alternatively, can the package manager list the license(s) of an installed package?

I'm trying to get a LAMP stack running on my BeagleBone Black, but I'm getting foiled early: opkg can't seem to find the apache2 package. According to the Angstrom page, it should exist: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/ (search "apache" for confirmation) ...but when I run opkg, it can't find it. This is what I see: root@beaglebone:~# opkg install apache2 Unknown package 'apache2'. Collected errors: * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package apache2. root@beaglebone:~# opkg list | grep apache2 php-fpm-apache2 - 5.3.19-r4.0.1 - php version 5.3.19-r4.0 ...and naturally, that's after running opkg update.

After I run apt-get update, I would like to get a list of all packages that can be upgraded. With opkg I usually to this:: opkg list_upgradable How can I do this with APT?

I'm writing an application that installs an upgrade using opkg packaging system . Is there a way to get the overall progress so that I can make a progress bar?

I'm making a opkg package for a software update. This package require a reboot after installation and needs some work done after the next reboot. I added a shutdown -h now in postinst script but it seems to shutdown too early and interrupts the opkg install command. Then the opkg system won't have the package info recorded, like opkg list-installed won't list the package as installed. So the problem I'm trying to solve is: how to reliably schedule a shutdown/reboot in postinst script of OPKG package? But I guess the fundamental question is, how to schedule a task in a shell script that runs as soon as the all the ancestors of current shell die, but not sooner than that?

I have a Linux based OS running on an embedded piece of hardware. According to the manufacturer of this device, it's based on the Ångström distribution. This device cannot be connected to the internet, however I need to install the ntp package on it so I can assign it to ntp to a local server. I have a laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 that I can get the ntp package with. I can also connect the laptop to that device. Is there a way I can 'host' (forgive me if this is the wrong word) that package on my laptop so the embedded device can get the package from there, rather than getting it from the internet.
