Ipkg failing wget

[LinusW]

I have a problem with ipkg. When trying to run ipkg update i get the following error


[admin@xxxxx /opt]$ ipkg update
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/Packages.gz
BusyBox v1.1.3 (2006.06.29-17:07+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: wget [-c|--continue] [-q|--quiet] [-O|--output-document file]
[--header 'header: value'] [-Y|--proxy on/off] [-P DIR] url

An error ocurred, return value: 1.

WARNING: Unable to remove temporary directory: : No such file or directory


What could be the problem?

Hi,

just try it again, the server is not 100 % available.

Tried again and again and again...
I am able to download the file (Packages.gz) manually via wget, i can ping the server, i can do a nslookup on the server. Does not seem to be connection problem.

Do you have a directory named /opt?

Sorry for Lifting such an old Thread - but i have exactly the same problem (like zumike) with my wl-500w with Koppel 171. How did you sove it?
Reinstall wget? (It is part of Busybox binary...)

[al37919]

you can install it as a separate package too

ipkg list | grep wget
