Packages broken this way can be fixed like this: $ cd empty_directory $ ar xov broken_package.ipk $ rm broken_package.ipk $ ar qcv broken_package.ipk debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz $ rm debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz > > GZIP > > yphonekitd_0.4.3_any.ipk > > zomg_0.0.6-r2_armv4t.ipk [snip] They might be gzipped tar archives. An example case I came across: $ cd empty_directory $ tar -zxf pingus_0.7.2-r0_armv4t_DolfFix.ipk $ rm pingus_0.7.2-r0_armv4t_DolfFix.ipk $ ar qcv pingus_0.7.2-r0_armv4t_DolfFix.ipk debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz $ rm debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen Danish law requires addresses in e-mail to be logged and stored for a year ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Mine (jdd) is correct on my local machine. I uploaded it again (twice because of a mistake) on opkg.org, and now the file n_ seems to be correct. The new naming convention (n_package) may cause some problems. Should I remove completely the package before reinstalling it ? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Your package is broken in opkg.org
(cc:d the authors of some broken packages I was able to extract the e-mail address from..) Hi! If you have packaged some of the apps listed below, I just want to let you know that the package in opkg.org is broken and not recognized as an installable file (to try this, download the packages from opkg.org and run file package.ipk - it should return Debian Binary but for the ones listed below, it returns data/empty or gzip) So please check that your local package returns debian binary and then upload it again to opkg.org. The file need to have a control file in it to work in the opkg.org repository opkg.org/packages Packaging instructions can be found at http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/freerunner/packaging/ Thanks! r On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 3:30 PM, Risto H.
