Entware [SOLVED] Entware packages not updating - wget doesn't have https support

[Phantomski]

Hi,

headscratching here a bit.

I suddenly can't update/upgrade Entware packages in amtm. I don't remember installing anything that would affect it on the FW 386.7-2 and it certainly didn't improve on 386.9. It just stopped working.

Using amtm, the Update/Upgrade of Entware packages produces an error:

Downloading https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.gz
*** Failed to download the package list from https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.gz
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.gz, wget returned 1.

Running opkg update produces the same error.

https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.html is accessible.

If I try using wget directly as wget https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.gz it comes back with an error HTTPS support not compiled in.

When I tried to install wget-ssl from HTTP version of Entware repository using opkg install http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/wget-ssl_1.21.3-1_armv7-2.6.ipk it comes back with Package wget-ssl (1.21.3-1) installed in root is up to date.

Removing and reinstalling wget doesn't help either. What am I missing?

You've probably installed a conflicting version of wget from Entware. Remove it and try again.

Or use /usr/sbin/wget

Nope, not manually.

Symbolic link /jffs/configs/wget points to ../../opt/libexec/wget-nossl. Don't know why. If I change it to /usr/sbin/wget it works OK. Not sure why and what would change it.

System wget aka /entware/bin/wget (note the -ssl):

wget -V

When I removed the "other" wget by opkg remove wget-nossl it removed the symlink too and all works well. I'm quite certain I haven't installed the nossl version myself. Strange.
EDIT: Of course I did - when I was using 384.xx, the NonSSL version was the only way to update Entware. Doh. Not sure why it worked for a little bit on 386.7-2, but hey, all good.

Ran into the same problem. Thanks for sharing the solution!!!
