"IPKG Update" not working

[Dave.B]

I know this isn’t strictly a Firefly issue, but please excuse me if I ask anyway…

I just tried an IPKG update on my slug and got the following errors:

# ipkg update

It’s always worked before. Does anyone know what this could be? I have no idea.

Yea i get the same error trying to update it… Damn just as i managed to unbrick my nslu. Have been lying in a closet for 5 months, until i discovered this nifty addon, which im eager to try out.

Looks like it’s back up now… or at least it seem s to be working for me now:

ron@linksys-server:~$ sudo ipkg update

Great! Gonna try it again as soon as im home from work.

[Dave.B]

Aaah… so it’s not necessarily a problem with my slug then? That’s good news. I’ll try again after work.
Thanks for the replies.

FWIW, I asked this question on the NSLU-Linux board at Yahoo and my question got rejected 👿

[Dave.B]

No such luck – it still doesn’t work (same errors as above).

How about you Griffer?

[Griffer]

Im still at work, damn long day :s. But i should be on my way home in half an hour. I will post my result as soon as i try it out.

[Griffer]

Nope still don’t work…

Griffer, I think we might have different problems here. Yours looks as though it can’t see the web, whereas mine looks like it’s not recognising the “wget” command for some reason. ❓

What happens if you type:
ping google.com

(Press ctrl+C to stop it pinging)

[Griffer]

Yea i noticed now… Hmm seems mine won’t connect to the internet all of the sudden…
