ipkg update: error

[ganx]

Me again,

i'm trying to update ipkg, and get this error.

Anyone's got an idea how I can fix that..?

I just saw that an error "permission denied" is coming up, even if I try to install a pkg with sudo added.

Boah.. any ideas, anyone?

Had that sort of problem too on WL500gx, so I decided to rename admin to root and the problem went away.

Nice, thanks for that information, though I already found the right way to do it:

Steps for adding Optware packages

1. Log into the router via telnet or ssh using the same login credentials as the web interface
2. Become root
* sudo bash -l
* Supply your web password when prompted to become root
3. Copy the existing /opt directory to /shares/MYVOLUME1
* (cd /; tar cf - opt) | (cd /shares/MYVOLUME1; tar xf -)
4. Cycle power on the router with the front power button, log in and become root again by repeating steps 1 and 2 or execute:
* mount -o bind /shares/MYVOLUME1/opt /opt
5. Update the optware packages and descriptions to the latest
* ipkg update
* ipkg upgrade
6. Install additional packages as required using the ipkg command. A full list of all packages can be found here.
7. Modify /opt/etc/rc.local startup script as necessary to start them.
