#19864: opkg thinks it can't find libc, but install with --force-depends works
without any problems
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------

Priority: normal | Milestone:

-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
I put OpenWRT on my linksys E3000 a couple of months ago, and in my spare
time I've been turning it into a secure VPN and backup server.
If I try to install a package, opkg fails, complaining that it can't meet
the dependency "libc"
{{{

Collected errors:
* satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for
tcpdump:
* libc *
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package tcpdump.
}}}
If I tell opkg to ignore the error, packages install without any problems:
{{{
opkg install tcpdump --force-depends

Configuring tcpdump.
Collected errors:
* satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for
tcpdump:
* libc *
root@OpenWRT:~# tcpdump
tcpdump: WARNING: eth0: no IPv4 address assigned

}}}
Thus far, I've ignored the error and installed all the software needed to:
- detect, mount, partition, and format USB flash drives
- create and mount encrypted partitions
- pivot-root to a second, unencrypted partition on flash drive
- install VPN and rsync
- back up all my data to encrypted partition on USB flash drive
{{{
uname -a
Linux OpenWRT 3.10.49 #3 Wed Oct 1 14:51:04 CEST 2014 mips GNU/Linux
}}}
Some potentially relevant info:
This isn't a completely new install. I reset OpenWRT to defaults while
setting up pivot-root. I had tried to pivot-root to an encrypted
partition, but it didn't work. I wanted to start over with a clean slate,
so I reset to defaults and setup pivot-root to a non-encrypted partition.
My data is on an encrypted partition on the same flash drive.
I unlock the encrypted partition before pivoting, and the filesystem is
set to auto-mount in /etc/config/fstab. It mounts without any trouble.
