What is coreutils?And How to install?

When i install Bittorrent on WL-HDD
http://www.sprayfly.com/wiki/Bittorrent
and type ipkg list | grep -i core
this is only libbt to show
without coreutils - 5.2.1-8 - Bunch of heavyweight *nix core utilities
why?

[admin@(none) /]$ ipkg list | grep -i core
libbt - 1.05-5 - a C library implementing the core BitTorrent protocol

[admin@(none) /]$ ipkg install coreutils
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 4.
Collected errors:
Cannot find package coreutils.
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'

and i type 'ipkg update'

[admin@(none) /]$ ipkg update

PS:I do this step:echo nameserver 158.152.1.43 > /etc/resolv.conf

every provider has his own dns server

I suggest before starting with setting all the stuff on hdd make sure that you have working internet connection, an dif neccessary ajust it using web-IF

what shows?:
cat /opt/etc/ipkg.conf
cat /etc/ipkg.conf

Hi,

did you update uclibc-opt?
did you update ipkg after switching to oleg opt?

Code:

---

ipkg update
ipkg install coreutils

---

If it still does not work: have a look at my howto chapter 5.

wengi

you showed twice cat /etc/ipkg.conf

Actually, the content of /etc/ipkg.conf is correct and it corresponds to 1.9.2.7-8 firmware :)
So you can just remove /opt/etc/ipkg.conf which should contain a reference on the obsolete unslung repository

Hi,

your firmware needs to be switched to the opt feed.
The sprayfly wiki is not that up to date.

The new oleg firmware work withanother repository than the old ones.

simply have a look at my signature on how to install new firmware with torrent client.
