Missing Angstrom Packages
Added by Joe Bauman over 11 years ago
Good Morning -
Has anyone had any luck getting "missing" Angstrom packages installed when using the 2012-08-10 MDK? The two examples I've been looking for are sudo and ntp:
root@mityomapl138:/home/user# opkg install sudo
Unknown package 'sudo'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package sudo.
I've run opkg update - it succeeds except for one source:
opkg_download: Failed to download http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.05/ipk/eglibc/armv5te/machine/mityomapl138/Packages.gz, wget returned 1.
I've found some suggestions for downloading the packages and installing them manually, but that gets pretty tedious with the dependencies. Short of going out for an updated/independent Angstrom release, is there anything I am missing? I noticed that there is a new MDK release (2013-05-15) - any improvements there?
Thanks much,
Joe.

Joe,
This seems to be a problem with the latests Angstrom repos. I was able to find a forum post related to this. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/bsiWha74mc8
Download the ipk from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=sudo. Architecture: armv5te
I was able to proceed by downloading the following packages:wget http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2011.03/ipk/glibc/armv5te/base/sudo_1.7.2p1-r3.5_armv5te.ipk
wget http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2011.03/ipk/glibc/armv5te/base/libpam-meta_1.1.1-r2.6_armv5te.ipk
wget http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2011.03/ipk/glibc/armv5te/base/pam-plugin-userdb_1.1.1-r2.6_armv5te.ipk pam-plugin-userdb_1.1.1-r2.6_armv5te.ipk
Then running:opkg install sudo_1.7.2p1-r3.5_armv5te.ipk libpam-meta_1.1.1-r2.6_armv5te.ipk pam-plugin-userdb_1.1.1-r2.6_armv5te.ipk

I was using the latest MDK filesystem but I suspect it will work the same for your version.

Thanks Jonathan -
That worked just fine - I started down that path but didn't get the right combination of packages. One of the PAM ipk's triggered about 24 additional package downloads and it installed just fine.
Also got NTP installed - had to manually grab packages for libc6, libgcc1_linaro, ntp-systemd, ntp-tickadj, ntp, ntpdate. For some reason eth0 isn't being brought up at boot so it isn't able to get the correct time - but that's another issue.
Thanks!
Joe.

Good to know.
As far as eth0 not coming up some things to look at:- Make sure that ip=dhcp was passed to kernel on bootargs
- Make sure /etc/init.d/networking is started on startup. Mine is symlinked in /etc/rcS.d.
