Solved Could not do 'opkg update' from RT-AC68U

[Mr.H]

So, I decided to do

opkg update

and.. it was stuck, via

htop

I realized that it stuck on

wget ... http://qnapware.zyxmon.org/binaries-armv7/Packages.gz

I gave it a try in console and after several retries

Connecting to qnapware.zyxmon.org|158.160.45.54|:80

what I got is - error 4.
Then I put the URL to browser on PC and successfully downloaded Packages.gz file.
Finally I did

tcpdump

to capture traffic to the URL from router and from browser, and found that packets sent from my router do have invalid checksum (and several other differences).
Please, see attachments for screenshot from Wireshark with packets from router (first 5) and from PC (others). Now as I do have no other options, I think that's the reason.

But when I do

wget google.com

it magically works.

Guys, please, help, where should I look next?

qnapware.zyxmon.org is an obsolete repository that hasn't been updated for over six years. I suggest you uninstall that version of Entware and install the current one.

Yes, that was the root cause. I executed single command from https://github.com/Entware/Entware-ng/wiki/Upgrade-from-Entware-arm and it worked like a charm! Thank you.

I think that's still an obsolete version of Entware. pkg.entware.net hasn't been updated since 2018. The current repositories moved to bin.entware.net.

What version of Merlin do you have installed? The Entware installer has been included in Merlin for some years now so there's no need to use a generic installer. If you don't have much installed it might be better to wipe the installation and start again.

Actually seems like it updated itself currectly as I see this:

xxxx@RT-AC68U:/tmp/home/root# cat /opt/etc/opkg.conf
src/gz entware http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6
....

So, should be good.

Ok, that's good. It must have automatically done a second upgrade from the old armv7 packages to the current armv7sf-k2.6.
