Robert- what is ls -l feeds/oldpackages/Binary >From your working directory?
Provide a copy of your feeds.conf.default to verify syntax. I just did this and got no error (which you also do not on other machines) dylan@BigBox /mnt/store/public/openWRT_source/trunk $ scripts/feeds update -a... ...

Since returns are tied in here, 'failed' would print in the output from previous code snippet. So not failing here. Directories must exist or be created. For fun, to check the name of the feed.. remove ./feeds/oldpackages and feeds/oldpackages/ oldpackages.info (if exist) ... then run again and check to be sure dirs are named properly (or echo $name direcly before in main code and make sure $name == oldpackages ) So that means our failures are in one of the next three lines Need to find the command that $mk designates.. Oh, that was easy my $mk=`which gmake 2>/dev/null`; # select the right 'make' program chomp($mk); # trim trailing newline $mk or $mk = "make"; # default to 'make' Check to see what 'which gmake' provides on working and non-working systems. Mine is dylan@BigBox /mnt/store/public/openWRT_source/trunk $ which gmake /usr/bin/gmake It then notes that if mk is empty, default to 'make' alone Okay, so now .. looking at update_index again.. my guess would be offhand the problem occurs within the system("$mk -s -f include/scan.mk ... line, since scanning and scan depth implies to me grepping for something. And because i doubt mk (/usr/bin/gmake) calls grep directly. And that mk line has the 'include/scan.mk' bit in it. So what's in scan.mk.. Only greps appear to be here: $(FILELIST): rm -f $(TMP_DIR)/info/.files-$(SCAN_TARGET)-* $(call FIND_L, $(SCAN_DIR)) $(SCAN_EXTRA) -mindepth 1 $(if $(SCAN_DEPTH),-maxdepth $(SCAN_DEPTH)) -name Makefile | xargs grep -HE 'call (Build/DefaultTargets|Build(Package|Target)|.+Package)' | sed -e 's#^$(SCAN_DIR)/##' -e 's#/Makefile:.*##' | uniq > $@ $(TMP_DIR)/info/.files-$(SCAN_TARGET).mk: $(FILELIST) ( \ cat $< | awk '{print "$(SCAN_DIR)/" $$0 "/Makefile" }' | xargs grep -HE '^ *SCAN_DEPS *= *' | awk -F: '{ gsub(/^.*DEPS *= */, "", $$2); print "DEPS_" $$1 "=" $$2 }'; \ awk -v deps="$$DEPS" '{ \ info=$$0; \ gsub(/\//, "_", info); \ print "$$(eval $$(call PackageDir," info "," $$0 "))"; \ } ' < $<; \ true; \ ) > $@ Now that is a bunch of crazy ass code, I have no idea what it does. My bet would be your problem lies somewhere here or the make version as noted previously.. but what do i really know? On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 12:50 AM, Robert P. J.
