wget problem - content-length is garbage - cannot install packages

[chicomania]

Hi everybody,

I've got a problem that is making me nuts:

I cannot use wget because it produces a content-length error. It is used from ipkg so I cannot install any package.

[admin@WL-0022152250A5 root]$ ipkg install samba2
Installing samba2 (2.2.12-1) on root...
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g/samba2_2.2.12-1_mipsel.ipk
wget: content-length 437       is garbage
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 22.
Collected errors:
ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 1: `wget --passive-ftp    -q -P /tmp/ipkg-yTplGG http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g/samba2_2.2.12-1_mipsel.ipk'
Failed to download samba2. Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?
[admin@WL-0022152250A5 root]$

Of course I did ipkg update already before trying to install samba2. I also tried to use a clean oleg installation with factory defaults and only UMTS-modem configuration.

I'm using 1.9.2-10-170a from oleg and a E220 Huawei. I tried to fix the problem the whole day. Twice it worked, but I forgot to save to flash so I need to reinstall. Oleg's Samba in "USB Application" does not work so that I could copy the installation files or a new wget to the stick.

I searched in the forum and found one thread where it was said that reinstalling wget could help. Once ipkg install wget worked but it didn't fix the problem.

Pleeeeease help me!
