That’s an ftp problem. Not sure why, but on some systems, the ftp doesn’t work when optware is installed. The workaround is to download the file by hand and install it that way… for example, download http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/mss/cross/unstable/libvorbis_1.1.2-5_mipsel.ipk by hand and put it someplace on the mss you can get to it (one of the samba shares) and then install it from that location (ipkg install /path/to/libvorbis_1.1.2-5_mipsel.ipk).

Or, install the wget from unslung and use that to download it…

ipkg install wget
/opt/bin/wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/mss/cross/unstable/libvorbis_1.1.2-5_mipsel.ipk
ipkg install libvorbis_1.1.2-5_mipsel.ipk

Maybe you could do something with setting your path to include /opt/bin before /bin, and symlink /bin/wget to /opt/bin/wget, and maybe that would work too, but I haven’t tried that.

I went through this, troubleshooting how to get firefly installed on my MSS. I amassed instructions and answers from a number of posts:

First, prep the MSS using the following guide (don’t use 2.6.2 firmware):
http://www.openmss.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=792

Second, install Firefly using (see third too):
http://wiki.fireflymediaserver.org/MSS_Installation

Third, to avoid the following error use svn1586. Either install http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org/dl.php?FILE=mt-daapd_svn-1586-1_mipsel.ipk in step two, or ipkg install with the -force-downgrade option:
http://www.openmss.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=490

(I had issues downloading and install from the download but rather inserted the HTTP in the ipkg command line)

Fourth, I reinstalled the 2.6.2 OpenMSS firmware. I will downgrade before doing any ipkg installs as it seems to break ipkg.
