A whole new ipkg install error

[adamsan]

Hello folks

I've searched this forum and the macsat one but can't find anyone who's received this error while trying to install ipkg:


[admin@(none) root]$ ipkg.sh update

It seems to be looking for a wl500g file but there's only a folder there holding the Packages file. Is this right?

My 'ipkg.sh update' command appears to just download this .txt file on Oleg's site:

http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg/Packages

Which I don't think is right - isn't it supposed to point to the ipkg app? I've managed to wget the ipkg tar file from elsewhere but have no idea what to do next. Should I edit ipkg.sh to point to another repository and try another internet install? If where is it on the system?

OK, the link in that Packages file points to
http://www.handhelds.org/packages/ipkg/ipkg-0.99.149-2.tar.gz

But if you go to http://www.handhelds.org/packages/ipkg/ there is no such file, there is ipkg-0.99.149.tar.gz but no 149-2

Could this be the problem?

Well, in case this happens to anyone else, I redid everything from scratch and it worked
